Argentina News:
Unsurprisingly considered heavy favourites against Cape Verde in World Cup, Argentina unexpectedly had to do it the hard way against the plucky Blue Sharks, who came from behind twice to force the unlikeliest of extra-time periods in the last 32.In the end, the reigning champions needed a dark blue shirt to do their job for them, as Diony Borges's 111th-minute own goal saw Lionel Scaloni's men advance at the expense of a crestfallen Cape Verde side, who fired 16 shots on the Argentina goal but could not overcome the Albiceleste's 120-minute mastery.Exceptional in extra time across all World Cup tournaments, Argentina have now won 10 of their 12 Mundial matches that have gone past the 90-minute mark, earning four non-shootout victories and winning six such contests from the penalty spot.As nerve-jangling as the last 32 was for Albiceleste supporters, their side are also now on an applaudable eight-match winning sequence across all tournaments and have scored two or more goals in all of those victories, racking up 11 in four matches in North America thus far.
Argentina were inevitably a little worse for wear after their gruelling two-hour slog against Cape Verde, and none of Nahuel Molina, Enzo Fernandez or Facundo Medina - who was forced off injured in the last 32 - were able to complete the full recovery session the next day.Medina's problem has been played down as cramp, though Nicolas Tagliafico is on hand if a change at left-back is required, while winger Nico Gonzalez is more of a doubt with a reported ankle sprain.Records continue to tumble at the feet of Messi, who in the last 32 became the first man to score seven goals in two separate World Cups and also set a new all-time high for the most goal involvements in the knockout rounds with 12 - until France's Kylian Mbappe drew level against Paraguay a few hours later.
Egypt News:
From knockout veterans to knockout novices, Egypt's trailblazing 2026 team have taken the Pharaohs through to the last 16 of the World Cup for the first time in 92 years, but for the first time ever on true merit.Egypt's 1934 squad entered straight into the knockout rounds of the second World Cup - when only 16 teams took part - but an inaugural Mundial win in the group stage preceded an even more historic triumph in Arlington this time around.Taken all the way to penalties by a spirited Australia side, Egypt registered a 100% success rate from the spot - thanks partly to Salah's audacious Panenka - while Socceroos defenders Harry Souttar and Lucas Herrington both blazed over to send the Pharaohs through.Salah's tears told the whole story for Egypt, who now cast emotion to one side as they endeavour to plug defensive holes before facing the reigning world champions; Hossam Hassan's men have now conceded at least one goal in six straight matches, after previously keeping three clean sheets on the spin.
Egypt's penalty-shootout triumph over Australia also came at a minor cost, as left-back Karim Hafez was taken off in the 80th minute, although he has trained and is looking likely to be available.Hafez missing out would represent a monumental blow for Egypt before facing the right-wing mastery of Messi, as fellow left-back Ahmed Fatouh could not face Australia due to his own thigh injury and is 'virtually ruled out' of Tuesday's game.Egypt's third and final defensive worry concerns Nice centre-back Mohamed Abdelmonem, who also missed the last-32 victory with an ankle injury sustained against Iran in the group stage, and he is another on Hassan's touch-and-go list.On a more positive note, experienced midfielder Mohanad Lasheen is available again after serving a yellow-card suspension against Australia.
