The Swiss seem to be focused on Messi, knowing full well that you cannot stop the man. You can only hope to contain his impact by double or even triple teaming him. This will create opportunities for Higuain, the massively talented finisher who has yet to apply himself in the tournament. I see a comfortable win for the Argentines with a couple of late goals if the Swiss try and defend the whole time. I reckon they'll have a better shot with a more positive approach. The Argentine defense has been suspect and needs to be run at. Not sure if the Swiss tactics in the game will allow them to come forward, keep possession in the Argentine zone, and make those runs. Being tactically fixated on counterattack alone won't do the trick.
