Argentina will meet Egypt at the Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta Tuesdsay for their round of 16 tie. The 2022 World Cup winners will meet the winner of the match between Colombia and Switzerland if they manage to win against Egypt on Tuesday. This is also a clash between two of the biggest world soccer stars: Lionel Messi and Mohamed Salah, who are likely playing in their last World Cup. Speaking to the media ahead of the match, Argentina coach Lionel Scaloni mentioned: “As you get closer to the end, with more matches played, you need more rest, yet the opposite is happening. We played in Miami the other day in that heat and now we’re playing tomorrow at noon. The rest period isn’t ideal. I think Egypt has had a few more hours (to recover), not a huge difference, but I believe that as the World Cup reaches its final stages, rest becomes even more crucial.” Here’s what you need to know: How to watch Argentina vs. EgyptDate: Tuesday, July 7 | Time: 12 p.m. ETLocation: Mercedes-Benz Stadium — Atlanta, United States TV: FOX (Eng), Telemundo (Spa) | Live stream: Fubo (Try for free)
