Argentina feels right at home when it comes to extra time.

Details: After a hard-fought victory over Switzerland in the World Cup quarterfinals, Lionel Scaloni's team has updated an astonishing record. The Argentines have won 11 out of 13 World Cup matches that went to extra time. This tally also includes victories secured in penalty shootouts.

That means Argentina have lost just two out of 13 such contests at the World Cup. Even when regular time isn't enough, the Albiceleste's experience and mental toughness allow them to deliver when it matters most.

The win over Switzerland propelled the reigning world champions into the semifinals, where England awaits as their next opponent.

Reminder: Who will face Messi? All World Cup semifinalists have been decided.
