Argentina prepares for World Cup 2026 quarter‑final vs Switzerland amid Google glitch and tribute armband

A Google search displayed an erroneous result that Switzerland had already been eliminated from the World Cup 2026 before the quarter‑final match against Argentina began, prompting a viral reaction on social media.

Argentina enters the game unbeaten in its seven historic encounters with Switzerland, recording five wins and two draws, including World Cup victories in 1966 and 2014. The quarter‑final is scheduled for Wednesday, 15 July, at 13:00 Mexico time in Atlanta.

The Argentine team will wear a black armband as a tribute to former player Antonio Rattín, while a minute of silence will be observed for the recently deceased South African player Jayden Addams.
