How to Watch Argentina vs. Egypt: World Cup Round of 16 Live Stream and TV Info
Argentina aims to keep its title defense alive against Egypt in the Round of 16 clash. Lionel Messi and Lisandro Martínez both scored in a thrilling 3-2 extra-time victory over Cape Verde, where an own goal in the 111th minute decided the match. Meanwhile, Egypt progressed after a penalty shootout win over Australia following a 1-1 draw.
A win for Argentina would bring them three wins away from becoming the first team since Brazil (1958 and 1962) to retain the World Cup. For Egypt, a victory would mark their deepest run in tournament history.
Argentina holds an eight-game winning streak against African teams at the World Cup, including two victories in this tournament. No nation has ever beaten three African sides in a single World Cup edition. These two teams have only met once before, a friendly in 2008 which Argentina won 2-0 without Messi, who was injured.
