Argentina make a change to face Egypt in the Cup, see teams
The 2026 FIFA World Cup has a first-ever clash in store this Tuesday (7), with a place in the quarterfinals at stake.
Starting at 1 p.m. (Brasília time), Argentina and Egypt face off at Atlanta Stadium in the World Cup round of 16.
The reigning world champions are counting on the brilliance of Lionel Messi, the outright top scorer of this World Cup edition.
On the other side, the "Pharaohs" are placing their hopes in star man Mohamed Salah to keep making history in the country's best-ever World Cup campaign.
Whoever advances will face the winner of the clash between Switzerland and Colombia (who play at 5 p.m.).
How the teams arrive
Argentina had to work harder than expected to get here.
After an impeccable and trouble-free group-stage campaign, Lionel Scaloni's team faced Cape Verde in the second round and only secured qualification in extra time, winning dramatically 3-2.
Egypt, meanwhile, come in with high morale after reaching the round of 16 for the first time ever. In the group stage, they picked up five points (draws with Iran and Belgium, and a win over New Zealand).
In the second round, qualification came on penalties against Australia, after a 1-1 draw that remained unchanged through regular time and extra time.
Lineups
Argentina (Coach: Lionel Scaloni)
The Argentine coach has just one confirmed absentee: left-back Facundo Medina, who picked up an injury against Cape Verde.
Tagliafico, a starter in the 2022 title-winning side, takes his place.
In attack, Julián Álvarez has earned the center-forward spot, while Leandro Paredes will come into midfield.
Dibu Martínez; Molina, Cuti Romero, Lisandro Martínez and Tagliafico; Mac Allister, Paredes, Enzo Fernández and De Paul; Julián Álvarez and Messi
Egypt (Coach: Hossam Hassan)
After days of concern over Mohamed Salah's fitness ahead of the second round, the No. 10 played without restrictions and is fully available.
Egypt will be at full strength.
Shoubir; Hany, Rabia, Ibrahim and Hafez; Ashour, Zico, Lashin and Attia; Hassan and Salah
