Argentina v Australia, the FIFA World Cup Qatar round of 16 tie, is scheduled for Saturday 3 December at 21:00 at the Ahmad Bin Ali Stadium in Al Rayyan and will be broadcast live by TVR 1.
Argentina and Australia will meet in an elimination game that seems disproportionate at first glance and presents huge challenges for any player.
Argentina won Group C after two impressive wins, 2-0 over Mexico and 2-0 over Poland, which followed one of the World Cup’s most shocking defeats, 1-2 against Saudi Arabia in the opening game.
“All matches are difficult, we saw that with Saudi Arabia! If you think the match against Australia will be easy, you are wrong, because he has shown that he can beat tough teams in this World Cup,” said Cougars coach Lionel Scaloni.
Elsewhere, Lionel Messi surpassed Diego Maradona in appearances at the World Cup with his 22nd appearance against Poland.
If he reaches the final with his team, the PSG star could also surpass the all-time record for most games played at the World Cup, currently held by Germany’s Lothar Matthaus (25 games).
Australia unexpectedly qualified from 2nd place in Group D, especially after losing their opener 1-4 against France before recording two huge successes, 1-0 against Tunisia and most notably 1-0 with Denmark had a much better appreciation of the teams and whom he sent home.
With Graeme Arnold on the bench, the Kangaroos reached the last 16 of a world tournament for the second time in their history, equaling the result of the 2006 World Cup in Germany, when they were knocked out by Italy, who won the trophy, after a goal scored by Totti in the 90th + 5th minute from penalty.
The two sides have met four times so far, twice in the Confederations Cup and twice more in the 1994 World Cup qualifiers in the USA, with the South Americans prevailing in three games, one of which ended in a draw.
The winner of the match between Argentina and Australia will play in the quarter-finals of the World Cup in Qatar against the winner of the match between the Netherlands and the USA, which is also scheduled for Saturday from 17:00.
