It’s all or nothing for Argentina when it faces Egypt in the World Cup round of 16 on Tuesday.
After being alarmingly close to a humiliating early exit at the hands of Cabo Verde last time out, the reigning world champions know improvements are required against a stubborn Egyptian side that boasts a myriad of attacking threats.
Argentina, who is seeking to become the first team since Brazil in 1962 to defend its world title, will be fatigued after last Friday’s 120-minute slog, but still journeys to the Mercedes-Benz Stadium expecting to win and book safe passage to the quarterfinal stage.
Egypt, meanwhile, is still unbeaten this summer and desperate to pull off a major upset. The African giants have never made the final eight of the World Cup before and will need an inspired performance from talisman Mohamed Salah to make history on Tuesday.
Lionel Messi will be eager to set more records of his own, having scored in every single match for Argentina this summer. Here’s how to watch the greatest of all time strut his stuff in Atlanta.
