Newcomers Cape Verde almost created the upset of the century by forcing the reigning champions Argentina into extra time. Unfortunately, the Blue Sharks were then forced to concede. Argentina will therefore face Egypt in the round of 16. There was not much in it between Australia's Socceroos and the Egyptian Pharoes: the two teams went all the way to penalties, where Egypt proved extremely efficient, scoring every single shot from the penalty spot. An early Colombian goal meanwhile proved insurmountable for Ghana. France gears up for their game against Panama, and Canada face Morocco in the first round of 16 fixture. #WorldCup2026 #CapeVerde #Argentina Read more about this story in our article: https://f24.my/C2D8.y 🔔 Subscribe to France 24 now: https://f24.my/YTen 🔴 LIVE - Watch FRANCE 24 English 24/7 here: https://f24.my/YTliveEN 🌍 Read the latest International News and Top Stories: https://www.france24.com/en/ Like us on Facebook: https://f24.my/FBen Follow us on X: https://f
