Argentina qualifies for United Cup QFs; Perth knockout matchups set
Argentina has qualified for the United Cup quarter-finals by virtue of being the best-placed runner-up country in Perth.
Argentina finished as runner-up in Group A with a 1-1 tie record and, importantly, a 4-2 match record. No other runner-up country in Perth can finish with four match wins, so Argentina is guaranteed to reach the quarter-finals.
The winner of Group A, the United States, was scheduled to face the best runner-up in Perth. However, since the United States and Argentina met in group play, the United States will take on Greece and Switzerland will play Argentina.
The United States-Greece tie will begin at 10 a.m. local time in Perth Wednesday, with the Switzerland-Argentina matchup scheduled for the night session beginning at 5 p.m.
The best-placed runner-up country in Sydney is still up for grabs.
