Argentina has the opportunity to become only the third team in World Cup history to win back-to-back titles. But first, they must get past Mohamed Salah and Egypt in today's Round of 16 clash.
Egypt are still unbeaten in the tournament and have the quality to seriously threaten Argentina's hopes of defending their World Cup crown.
The Pharaohs are coming off a penalty shootout win over Australia in the previous round and will be optimistic about their chances after Argentina's hard-fought victory over Cabo Verde.
Lionel Messi and company were pushed to the limit in that match, needing extra time to secure a 3-2 win over the World Cup debutants and book their place in the Round of 16.
