Ottmar Hitzfeld insists that Switzerland have "nothing to lose" when they face Argentina in the last 16 of the World Cup next week.

Switzerland manager Ottmar Hitzfeld has insisted that his side have "nothing to lose" when they take on Argentina in the last 16 of the World Cup.

La Nati progressed through Group E courtesy of a comfortable 3-0 victory over bottom side Honduras in Manaus on Wednesday night.

Switzerland will now face South American giants Argentina in the next round, but Hitzfeld is confident in his side's ability.

"The players showed the right attitude and will and we surpassed ourselves," the 65-year-old is quoted as saying by BBC Sport following the game against Honduras. "Passion comes from suffering and we really suffered.

"Whenever you reach the second round it is a great motivation and we are highly motivated. We are going to write history. We do have a chance, even against Argentina. It is going to be a match where we have nothing to lose."

The meeting with Argentina kicks off at 5pm on Tuesday.
