The reigning champions, who somehow found the resources to get through after their scare in the round of 16 against the very modest Cape Verde, which pushed them into extra time, will face Colombia or Switzerland at 1:00 PM in Vancouver (8:00 PM GMT, 10:00 PM French time).
Messi, still Messi, always Messi
