Switzerland just knocked off Colombia in a penalty shootout, and the crypto market noticed. The $ARG fan token, tied to Argentina’s national football team, has been sliding as the defending World Cup champions suddenly look beatable heading into their quarterfinal matchup.
The token was trading near $0.20 as the Switzerland game approached, a price point that reflects growing uncertainty around Argentina’s campaign despite their status as reigning champions.
What happened on the pitch
Switzerland advanced to the 2026 FIFA World Cup quarterfinals on July 8 after a grueling 0-0 draw with Colombia that went to penalties. The Swiss won the shootout 4-3, a result that was all the more impressive given they were missing key player Johan Manzambi due to injury.
Head coach Murat Yakin confirmed that the same eleven players who finished the Colombia match will start against Argentina, signaling full confidence in the squad that ground out the result.
