Argentina vs Egypt Live Score, FIFA World Cup 2026 Live Updates: ARG 0-1 EGY at half-time

 Argentina vs Egypt Football Score, FIFA World Cup 2026 Round of 16 Live Updates: Yasser Ibrahim headed Egypt ahead in the 15th minute against defending Argentina in the 2026 FIFA World Cup round of 16 match between the two sides and the score remained 1-0 in the African side’s favour at half time in Atlanta. Argentina pushed for the equaliser but Egypt kept their lead intact, largely thanks to a heroic performance from their goalkeeper Mostafa Shobeir.



Shobeir’s heroics included saving a penalty off Argentina’s talismanic captain Lionel Messi right after Egypt took the lead. Messi has been breaking records at will at this World Cup and ended up breaking an unwanted one on that instance. He became the first to miss two penalties at the same World Cup, not including penalty shootouts.

Messi has been in top form this World Cup, breaking records right, left and centre with the Argentine magician currently the top goal-scorer ever in World Cup history with 20 goals. He is also in the race for the Golden Boot, just behind France’s Kylian Mbappe with both players at 7 goals each with the Real Madrid forward in the top spot due to his superior assists record.

Beyond three Cs, the new lexicon of India-Australia ties

Image
 During his visit to Australia in May 2023, when the Comprehensive Strategic Partnership between India and Australia was almost three years old, Prime Minister Narendra Modi had characterised India-Australia ties as having entered T-20 mode. He also stressed that the relationship had gone beyond the conventional three Cs — of Commonwealth, Cricket and Curry — and the subsequent three Ds — Democracy, Diaspora and Dosti. As Mr. Modi undertakes his third visit to Australia this week, it would be instructive to look at some of the recent progress in two other important dimensions, the Ds of Development and Defence. Growing bilateral economic cooperation has brought dividends like never before for both countries. All Indian exports to Australia now have duty free access under the Economic Cooperation and Trade Agreement (ECTA), benefitting textiles, pharmaceuticals, chemicals, engineering goods, gems and jewellery. Preferential access to 90% of Australia’s trade value has facilitated Au...
