KANSAS CITY, MO. — After 72 long years, Switzerland has finally made it back to the quarterfinals at the World Cup. Break out the cowbells, yell from the mountaintops and all that.
Or … not.
Switzerland's reward for its historic run is to be cannon fodder for Lionel Messi and Argentina.
Of course anything can happen Saturday, July 11, and we've seen enough chaos at this World Cup already (looking at you, Norway) to know it is possible. Switzerland is talking a good game, too, insisting it isn't intimated at facing the defending champions.
But there is a difference between possible and probable and, sorry Switzerland, it just isn't happening.
