FourFourTwo says Messi put Argentina ahead after 29 minutes against Cape Verde, and that the holders needed an 111th-minute own goal to avoid a colossal upset.

Wales Online puts the kickoff at 5pm BST on Tuesday, July 7, and says the winners will face either Switzerland or Colombia on Sunday, July 11, in Kansas City.

FourFourTwo also frames the matchup as a test for an Egyptian defence that has conceded once in each game in North America, while Wales Online highlights the headline pairing of Messi versus Mohamed Salah.

Wales Online quotes Lionel Scaloni saying, "I think this World Cup is proving to be difficult for everyone."

Wales Online says the game is being shown live and for free on ITV1, with coverage starting at 4.15pm, and it adds that viewers can stream via ITVX.

FourFourTwo says Argentina vs Egypt will be free-to-stream across multiple regions, including ITV in the UK and RTÉ Player in Ireland, and it lists additional platforms such as SBS On Demand in Australia and CazéTV on YouTube in Brazil.

In the UK, FourFourTwo says the build-up starts at 4:15pm with kick-off at 5:00pm, and it adds that ITV will broadcast 51 games exclusively live in the UK, with an account and TV license required.

Wales Online also notes that you will need a valid TV licence and an account to watch on ITVX.

FourFourTwo includes a promotional note that "Norton VPN delivers fast, secure connections with global servers, so you can stream from anywhere with ease."

Digital Spy reports that the new channel will launch on ITVX on 7 July, bringing "one of television’s most iconic franchises to UK viewers through a continuous, live-streaming experience".

It adds that the channel will launch with franchise favourites The Walking Dead and Fear the Walking Dead, and that it is part of ITVX’s existing portfolio including ITV Classics, ITVX Kids and Reality 24/7.

Digital Spy also ties the move to a broader ITV change, stating that this comes a day after the news that Sky had agreed terms to take over ITV in a £1.6 billion deal.

The Digital Spy piece quotes an official statement explaining, "ITV's channels and ITVX will remain free-to-air, with all public service broadcasting commitments continuing in full".
