Road to the Last 16
Argentina advanced after a scare against tournament minnows Cape Verde, needing extra time to win 3-2. Egypt, meanwhile, beat Australia in a penalty shootout after a nervy draw.
Quotes from the Camps
Argentina coach Lionel Scaloni said: "I think this World Cup is proving to be difficult for everyone. There isn't one truly dominant team. France seemed strong, and they still are, but they struggled against Paraguay. Spain struggled until the very end. No team has maintained the form they showed before the World Cup."
Egypt coach Hossam Hassan added: "If we ran a poll right now about who would win tomorrow, we all know the majority would favour them because we’re facing one of the game’s giants in Argentina. But in the Egypt camp, we have a different conviction, and we’d answer that poll differently. Tomorrow’s match won’t be easy for us, but it won’t be easy for them either."
What's Next?
The winners will face either Switzerland or Colombia on Sunday, July 11, in Kansas City.
