Can Mohamed Salah's Egypt pull off a stunning World Cup upset against Lionel Messi's Argentina?

Egypt faces its biggest-ever FIFA World Cup test as Mohamed Salah and the Pharaohs take on defending champions Argentina and Lionel Messi in the Round of 16. While Argentina enters the match as the favourite based on its higher FIFA ranking, World Cup pedigree and Messi's outstanding tournament form, Egypt has already made history by reaching the knockout stage for the first time. Led by Salah and coach Hossam Hassan, the seven-time African champions will hope to continue a tournament that has already seen several major upsets. With Messi chasing another World Cup triumph and Salah aiming to inspire one of football's greatest shocks, all eyes will be on this highly anticipated first-ever meeting between the two superstars. Who do you think will win—will Argentina continue its title defence, or can Egypt and Salah produce the biggest upset of the 2026 World Cup?
