Who did Argentina play in the 2026 World Cup quarterfinal?

Switzerland, on 11 July 2026. Argentina won 3–1.

Did the market price Argentina correctly?

Reasonably. Argentina sat near 18% on the outright winner market through the knockouts, which is a fair number for a team that reaches the Final. Markets did underprice its opponents' ability to keep matches close — three of five knockout wins were by a single goal.
