FIFA World Cup Round of 16 live broadcast: Defending champion Argentina faces Egypt for a place in the quarterfinals
Argentina returns to familiar ground hoping to secure another World Cup quarter-final berth. The defending champion won three consecutive games in Group K and finally survived in the round of 32. Cape Verde forced Lionel Scaloni’s side into extra time for the first time, with a late own goal helping Argentina win 3-2.
The route to Egypt was equally dramatic. The Pharaohs won their first World Cup victory in the group stage and, after drawing 1-1 on penalties, beat Australia 4-2 to advance to the knockout stages for the first time. Neither team has lost a single game in this tournament so far.
