WORLD CUP | Nico Paz Says Argentina’s 3-1 Extra-Time Win Over Switzerland Was Stressful

Nico Paz said Argentina’s 3-1 extra-time win over Switzerland, which set up a World Cup semi-final with England, was stressful even for players off the pitch. Argentina advanced despite playing against 10 men after Breel Embolo’s red card, with Julian Alvarez scoring a curler in extra time and Lautaro Martinez adding a late goal, according to Yahoo Sports. Paz, a 21-year-old Como player, posted on social media that his wearable technology showed his stress levels as “high” while he sat on the bench. Paz has made two World Cup appearances so far, coming on in a 3-0 win over Algeria and starting in a 3-1 win over Jordan; Argentina will play England in the semi-final on Wednesday, with France facing Spain on Tuesday.
