In what is expected to be global superstar Lionel Messi’s final run at the tournament, Argentina was on fire to start the competition. The national team ran through the group stage with wins over Algeria, Austria, and Jordan to finish first in Group J. Messi has been leading the Golden Boot race, and despite playing at 39 years old, still looks like one of, if not the best, player in the World Cup.
However, while Argentina looked strong in what has been one of the highlight games of the tournament so far, they almost lost to Cape Verde in the Round of 32. The matchup went to extra time, but thanks to a 111th minute score and strong goalkeeping from Emiliano Martínez, Argentina got the win to advance and save themselves from one of the biggest upsets in World Cup history.
Argentina remain one of the favorites to win it all, and with Messi, Lautaro Martinez, Lisandro Martinez, Alexis Mac Allister, Julian Alvarez, and one of the best squads on the planet, the team is still hopeful to win today and get closer to winning the World Cup for the second time in a row.
As for Egypt, the African nation has had a slow start to the tournament, but put together some strong showings to find themselves in the Round of 16. It began with a draw against Belgium, a win over New Zealand, and a draw with Iran to finish second in Group G. The team then beat Australia in penalty kicks in the Round of 32 to now play Argentina in the World Cup game today.
Led by Mohamed Salah, Eman Ashour, and Omar Marmoush, Egypt are hoping to shock the world in their game against the defending champions.
The winner of the Argentina vs Egypt soccer game today will play the winner of Switzerland vs Colombia in the quarterfinals.
