Two of those wins this tournament have been against Algeria and Cape Verde, and if they go on to overcome Egypt in the last-16, it will be their ninth successive World Cup win against African countries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Argentina have won five of their last six last-16 matches, the exception being a 4-3 defeat to France in 2018. Italy (1986) are the last defending champions to go out at this stage of the tournament.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The goals have been flowing for Argentina who could equal Uruguay\u2019s record of scoring two or more goals in 11 straight World Cup matches. Lionel Messi has contributed seven of his country\u2019s 11 goals this tournament, which puts him level with Kylian Mbappe and Erling Haaland in the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.squawka.com\/en\/outright-markets\/world-cup-2026-top-goalscorer-06-07\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Golden Boot<\/a> race.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Those seven goals have been spread out across four games, giving Messi the opportunity to become only the sixth player to score in their opening five games of a World Cup after Just Fontaine (1958), Jairzinho (1970), Gerd Muller (1970), Rivaldo (2002), and most recently James Rodriguez (2014).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If Messi does score, he will draw level with Guillermo Stabile (8 goals in 1930) as the highest-scoring Argentinian at a single World Cup. It would also equal Mbappe\u2019s eight goal haul from 2022, with no player scoring more than eight goals at a World Cup since Gerd Muller smashed in 10 for Germany back in 1970.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>READ<\/strong> &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.squawka.com\/en\/news\/world-cup\/argentina-vs-egypt-predictions-betting-tips\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Argentina vs Egypt: predictions, best bets, odds and stats<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2026\/07\/04205147\/LionelMessi04072026_ID3EYM0KA-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"Argentina World Cup analysis: How reliance on Lionel Messi might be bad for World Cup title defence\" class=\"wp-image-1466284\" srcset=\"https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2026\/07\/04205147\/LionelMessi04072026_ID3EYM0KA-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2026\/07\/04205147\/LionelMessi04072026_ID3EYM0KA-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2026\/07\/04205147\/LionelMessi04072026_ID3EYM0KA-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2026\/07\/04205147\/LionelMessi04072026_ID3EYM0KA-400x225.jpg 400w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2026\/07\/04205147\/LionelMessi04072026_ID3EYM0KA-356x200.jpg 356w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2026\/07\/04205147\/LionelMessi04072026_ID3EYM0KA-107x60.jpg 107w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2026\/07\/04205147\/LionelMessi04072026_ID3EYM0KA-150x84.jpg 150w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2026\/07\/04205147\/LionelMessi04072026_ID3EYM0KA-132x74.jpg 132w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2026\/07\/04205147\/LionelMessi04072026_ID3EYM0KA.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.squawka.com\/en\/stats\/clubs\/egypt\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Egypt<\/a> head into the round of 16 unbeaten after making history by defeating Australia on penalties to secure their first-ever World Cup knockout victory. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Pharaohs now face their toughest challenge yet against reigning champions Argentina, though they&#8217;ll take encouragement from Cape Verde, who pushed the holders to extra time before eventually falling 3-2.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Victory would see Egypt become just the fifth African country to reach a World Cup quarter-final, following in the footsteps of Cameroon (1990), Senegal (2002), Ghana (2010) and Morocco (2022 &amp; 2026).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Emam Ashour has scored twice at this year&#8217;s tournament and needs just one more goal to become Egypt&#8217;s outright top scorer in a single World Cup campaign. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Meanwhile, Mo Salah remains one goal shy of equalling current Egypt manager Hossam Hassan&#8217;s all-time national team record of 69 goals.
