Argentina vs Egypt: TV Info, Kick-Off Time, and Viewing Details for World Cup Last-16

Argentina faces Egypt in the World Cup last-16, aiming to avoid another tense knockout match as they chase back-to-back titles. The defending champions barely escaped Cape Verde in the round of 32, needing extra time to secure a 3-2 win after an own goal made the difference.

Egypt might sense an opportunity to pull off a surprise. Mohamed Salah, who helped lead the Pharaohs to their first-ever knockout victory by winning a shootout against Australia, looks ready to inspire his team once more.

Meanwhile, Lionel Messi has already scored seven goals in this tournament and will need to keep up that pace to challenge Kylian Mbappe for the golden boot.

Team Updates

Argentina might have to manage some fatigue and injuries after their long match against Cape Verde. Facundo Medina left the game early due to cramp, and Nico Gonzalez is doubtful with an ankle sprain.

Egypt hopes left-back Karim Hafez will recover from being substituted in the previous match. If he can’t play, it could cause problems against Messi’s threat. Backup Ahmed Fatouh is unavailable.
