The Argentinean national team will continue its run until the title of world champion is lost.. In a tense quarterfinal match in Kansas City, the Penguin Americans defeated Switzerland with a 3:1 lead in the final hour, making it to the bottom four teams of the tournament.

Argentina captain Lionel Messi, in an interview with ESPN Argentina, admitted that the quarter-finals were very difficult, but he felt that they were true to the character of his team.

" It’s not easy to turn around after winning the world championship, win everything we’ve won, and then continue to lose and lose the same level in the middle of the top four. This is not normal, it’s our fault to get sick,” said Messi.

Assessing the progress of the match, the captain learned that the red card was a turning point:.

“They were constantly playing the game, we couldn’t swing the ball for long and sat too deep. The violence completely changed the game, but everything was important,” Leo added.

Argentina will team up with the English national team on Wednesday in Atlanta. This event has a deep historical root, the most famous episode of which is the quarter-finals of the 1986 Emergency with the legendary “Hand of God” and the solo passage of Diego Maradoni.

Paradoxically, during his phenomenal career, Messi has never played against England's leading team..

I am against everyone except England, it will be accepted for this reason. All I remember about the 1986 match is the video of how the Argentines constantly marvel and relive. Gratis against England - this is more special, because the team is strong.

We’ll try to get to the match in the best possible shape,” the Argentine said.

Football player Rodrigo De Paul also confirmed the team’s fighting spirit for a principled final:.

" We know the story, but, as Skaloni said, it’s just a football match, albeit a very important one. We are devastated by the suffering of the sick, and, fortunately, we have the worst four."

Let us remember that Messi became the first football player in history with ten assists at world championships.
