KANSAS CITY, Missouri, July 10 : Switzerland will be without leading scorer Johan Manzambi for Saturday's World Cup quarter-final against Argentina, coach Murat Yakin said on Friday, dealing a blow to the Swiss as they prepare to face the reigning champions in Kansas City.
KANSAS CITY, USA: Switzerland captain Granit Xhaka told fans to “keep dreaming” as he prepares to lead his team against Lionel Messi’s Argentina in the World Cup quarter-finals on Saturday. The midfielder said Switzerland’s “overarching aim” was to beat the defending champions and reach the semifinals for the first time. “Regarding the fans, keep dreaming. I am a person who always dreams and dreams can come true,” he told reporters in Kansas City. “And if we want to fulfil our dreams, you need to work, you need to sweat, you need to give it 100 percent. “And sometimes you need to do something new.
KANSAS CITY: Lionel Messi has scored in every World Cup match so far, but after two gruelling knockout ties, will age finally catch up with the 39-year-old in the quarter-final against Switzerland? Lionel Scaloni’s team sailed through the group stage but have been pushed to the limit by Cape Verde and Egypt. They needed extra time to squeeze past the World Cup newcomers in the last 32 before winning 3-2 and then came back from the dead against Mohamed Salah’s team. The defending champions have won all five of their games, with Messi’s brilliance and their unshakeable team spirit central to their progress. Messi made up for a missed penalty against Egypt with a wonderfully composed finish as Argentina rallied from two goals down in the closing minutes. He broke down in a rare show of emotion at the end of the pulsating 3-2 win in Atlanta, saying he was desperate for his World Cup journey to continue. “It was a moment of pure happiness and relief,” said the Inter Miami forward. “We wanted to stay in the tournament. We didn’t want today to be the end, we didn’t want to go home.” Messi admitted he was tired after playing 120 minutes against Cape Verde but he featured for the whole game against Egypt and remains indispensable. Saturday’s quarter-final at Arrowhead Stadium will take him back to the scene of his hat-trick in Argentina’s first match of the 2026 tournament. He has continued his scoring run, taking his tally to eight — level with Golden Boot rival Kylian Mbappe. And he has also become the leading scorer in World Cup history, with 21 goals across his career.
BOSTON, MA, July 10 : France have been drawing comparisons with greats of the past with their World Cup run, in which Kylian Mbappe and Ousmane Dembele have scored 13 goals between them, but Les Bleus' captain said the current team have not achieved anything yet.

LOS ANGELES: European champions Spain are on a World Cup collision course with Kylian Mbappe’s France if they can beat Belgium in a quarter-final on Friday. At the spectacular SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles, the Belgians face the daunting task of breaking through a Spanish defense that has yet to concede a goal in the tournament. If Spain win, they will head to Texas next Tuesday for a mouth-watering semifinal against France that many observers are already describing as the final before the final. First though Spain need to find goals against a Belgium team who started the World Cup slowly but caught fire as the tournament has gone on. The 4-1 demolition of the USA in the last round showed just how far the team coached by Rudi Garcia have come in just a few weeks. Spain meanwhile have not displayed the attacking flair of France but they are playing the possession-based football that carried them to the country’s only World Cup triumph, in South Africa in 2010. Lamine Yamal of Barcelona, who turns 19 next week, is Spain’s standout attacker but he arrived in the United States after suffering a late-season injury and has seemed a peripheral figure at times, scoring just once in five games. Yamal, widely tipped to inherit the mantle of the world’s greatest player from Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo, could be due a goal. “We know that the best version of him, the attacking Lamine, is something that we haven’t quite seen yet in this World Cup. Not to the level that we’re used to,” said Spain coach Luis de la Fuente. In Yamal’s absence, Mikel Oyarzabal has scored four times, including twice in the 3-0 defeat of Austria in the last 32 at SoFi. Spain have conceded just six shots on target in their five matches so far.
