Argentina vs Egypt: TV Channel, Kick-off Time, and How to Watch the World Cup Last-16 Match

Argentina will meet Egypt in the last-16 stage of the World Cup, aiming to avoid another tight knockout match on their path to defend the title. The reigning champions barely escaped Cape Verde with a 3-2 win after extra time, surviving two comebacks and an own goal in Miami.

Egypt’s recent victory over Australia, won via penalty shootout, has given them hope to challenge Lionel Scaloni’s team. Mohamed Salah leads the Pharaohs as they aim for more historic moments.

Lionel Messi raised his tournament tally to seven goals against Cape Verde, but Kylian Mbappe remains hot on his heels in the race for the golden boot.

Team Updates

Argentina looks a bit worn out after their extended game against Cape Verde. Facundo Medina struggled with cramp and couldn't finish, while Nico Gonzalez is uncertain due to an ankle injury.

Egypt hopes Karim Hafez, who left the Australia game early, will be fit to start. If not, they risk weakness at left-back, especially against Messi. Backup Ahmed Fatouh is unavailable.
