Argentina vs. Egypt: How to Watch the World Cup Round of 16 Match

The clash between Argentina and Egypt in the Round of 16 will decide who moves closer to lifting the World Cup trophy again. Lionel Messi and Lisandro Martínez helped Argentina edge Cape Verde 3-2 in extra time during the Round of 32, with a crucial own goal at 111 minutes sealing the win. Egypt secured their spot by defeating Australia on penalties after a 1-1 draw.

A victory for Argentina means they are three wins away from becoming the first team since Brazil in 1958 and 1962 to claim back-to-back titles. Egypt, on the other hand, would reach their deepest run ever in the tournament.

Argentina holds an eight-game winning streak against African nations at the World Cup, including two wins so far in this competition. No nation has beaten three African teams in one World Cup before. The only previous meeting between these teams was a friendly in 2008, which Argentina won 2-0 without Messi, who missed due to injury.

Besides Messi, watch out for Julián Álvarez and Emiliano Martínez from Argentina. For Egypt, key players include Mohamed Salah, Omar Marmoush, and Mostafa Mohamed.
