Watch Argentina vs Egypt: Live Stream, TV Channel, and Match Start Time for World Cup Round of 16
Argentina aims to keep their title defense alive as they take on Egypt in the World Cup Round of 16. Lionel Messi and Lisandro Martínez played crucial roles in Argentina’s thrilling 3-2 extra-time victory against Cape Verde, sealed by an own goal in the 111th minute. Egypt reached this stage after a tense penalty shootout win over Australia following a 1-1 draw.
A win would bring Argentina within three victories of becoming the first nation since Brazil (1958 and 1962) to win consecutive World Cups. Egypt, on the other hand, could achieve its deepest tournament run ever with a win.
Argentina holds an eight-match winning streak against African teams at the World Cup, including two wins already in this tournament. No team has defeated three African opponents in one World Cup before. The only previous encounter between these sides was a 2-0 friendly win for Argentina in 2008, when Messi missed the match due to injury.
Key players to watch include Julián Álvarez and Emiliano Martínez for Argentina, alongside Mohamed Salah, Omar Marmoush, and Mostafa Mohamed for Egypt.
