Argentina kicks off its World Cup title defense on Tuesday evening when it takes on Algeria at Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City.
Powered by the presence of its all-time greatest player, Lionel Messi, La Albiceleste has looked sharp in the lead-up to the tournament and is broadly tipped to make another deep run—or even lift the trophy once more.
Yet in Algeria, Lionel Scaloni's squad faces one of Africa's most threatening attacking sides, boasting proven stars like Riyad Mahrez and exciting young talents such as Ibrahim Maza, meaning the opposition will be far from intimidated or easy to dismiss.
With the memory of Argentina's stunning opening loss to Saudi Arabia four years ago still lingering, questions will again arise about whether history could repeat itself—or whether Messi and his teammates can make a commanding statement from the very start this time.
Here's everything you need to know about where and how to catch the Argentina vs. Algeria clash.
