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

The holders Argentina prepare to take on Egypt in the last-16 stage of the World Cup, aiming to avoid another tense knockout match while chasing back-to-back titles. Their round of 32 encounter with Cape Verde pushed them into extra time, where a late own goal settled a 3-2 win after Argentina had been pegged back twice.

That close call might give Egypt some belief in causing an upset. Mohamed Salah leads the charge for the Pharaohs following their historic shootout victory over Australia, marking their first-ever knockout success at this level.

Lionel Messi has now scored seven goals in the tournament after netting against Cape Verde, but he’ll need to maintain that momentum to stay ahead in the golden boot race, where Kylian Mbappe is keeping pace.

The game kicks off at 5pm BST on Tuesday, 7 July, taking place at the Atlanta Stadium.

Team Updates

Argentina face a few fitness concerns after their lengthy match with Cape Verde. Facundo Medina left early due to cramp, and Nico Gonzalez’s participation remains uncertain because of an ankle sprain.

Egypt hope left-back Karim Hafez recovers from his knock sustained against Australia. If he cannot play, the Pharaohs would struggle to contain Messi on that side, as backup Ahmed Fatouh is unavailable.
