Argentina rolled through Group J at 3-0-0 and needed extra time to beat Cape Verde 3-2 in the round of 32. Messi is tied atop the Golden Boot Race with Norway's Erling Haaland and France's Kylian Mbappe with seven goals. Egypt finished Group G at 1-0-2 and survived a shootout against Australia in the round of 32, leaning on Salah to generate chances in the final third. Messi's early movement around Egypt's box should signal whether the defending champion cruises or has to grind out a knockout win.

Player to Watch

Lionel Messi

Forward

Argentina

It is hard to think of things that have not been said about Messi, but the Inter Miami attacker has now scored in eight straight World Cup matches. In his career, Messi has 12 goal contributions in the knockout stages of the World Cup. He remains at the heart of everything Argentina does, and even at his age, that might be enough for Argentina to win a second straight title.

Switzerland vs. Colombia

Time: 4 p.m. ET
TV: FOX
Stream: Watch 3 days free on FOX One
Venue: BC Place Vancouver, Vancouver, British Columbia

Switzerland went 2-0-1 through Group B and beat Algeria 2-1 in the round of 32 to reach the knockout's second week. Colombia also finished 2-0-1 in Group K, drawing with Portugal before closing out Ghana 1-0 in the round of 32. Tuesday's winner keeps its World Cup run alive with a place in the quarterfinals on the line.

Granit Xhaka

Midfielder

Switzerland

The Swiss captain is essential to his team’s chances of playing the way it wants to play. Switzerland cannot afford to chase the game for too long, and Xhaka, at his best, can win possession and set up his teammates in the attacking third while also defending well. Switzerland needs him to be in his top form like he was against Ghana.
