Argentina will face Egypt in a 2026 FIFA World Cup round of 16 showdown on Tuesday, July 7, 2026, at Atlanta Stadium on FOX.\u00a0<\/p>\n
As expected, Argentina is in a sixth straight World Cup round of 16. However, it wasn’t as easy as it was originally thought to be.\u00a0<\/p>\n
In one of the most thrilling World Cup games of all time, Argentina needed extra time to escape debutant Cape Verde in the round of 32.\u00a0<\/p>\n
But with the win, Argentina has now won a team-record 11 straight games and is unbeaten in 10 straight World Cup games, tying a team record. La Albiceleste has also scored multiple goals in 10 straight World Cup matches, equaling the second-longest streak ever (1938-58 West Germany) and one shy of the longest (1930-54 Uruguay).\u00a0<\/p>\n
With his goal against Cape Verde, Lionel Messi has now scored seven of Argentina\u2019s 11 goals at this World Cup.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, Egypt advanced in the World Cup knockout stage for the first time in its nation’s history, eliminating Australia on penalties after a 1-1 draw.<\/p>\n
Aside from the 3-1 win over outmatched New Zealand, Egypt\u2019s games have been very even, all ending in 1-1 draws as Egypt conceded 44 shots while taking 43 in those three matches.\u00a0<\/p>\n
