How to Watch Argentina vs Egypt: Live Stream, TV Channel, and Kickoff Time for World Cup Round of 16

Argentina aims to continue its quest for back-to-back World Cup titles when they face Egypt in the Round of 16. The last match saw Lionel Messi and Lisandro Martínez both score as Argentina edged Cape Verde 3-2 in extra time, with a crucial own goal deciding the game in the 111th minute. Egypt secured their spot by defeating Australia in a penalty shootout following a 1-1 draw.

A win would bring Argentina closer to making history, becoming the first team since Brazil in 1958 and 1962 to win consecutive World Cups. For Egypt, a victory would mean reaching the deepest stage ever achieved by their national team.

Argentina holds an eight-match winning streak against African teams at the World Cup, including two wins in this tournament alone. No nation has beaten three African opponents in a single World Cup edition yet. These teams met once before in a friendly in 2008, where Argentina won 2-0 without Messi, who was sidelined by injury.

Besides Messi, watch out for Julián Álvarez and Emiliano Martínez on Argentina’s side, while Egypt will rely on Mohamed Salah, Omar Marmoush, and Mostafa Mohamed.
