On one side, the ogre. On the other, Little Thumb. Lionel Scaloni’s Argentina arrives with a perfect group stage performance carried by a stellar Lionel Messi (6 goals on the clock). Cape Verde, an archipelago of 500,000 inhabitants, is playing the first direct elimination match in its history, after holding off Spain and Uruguay. A gap in experience, but also the promise of a moment that the Blue Sharks want to extend. The Argentina-Cape Verde match begins on the night of Friday July 3 to Saturday July 4, at midnight French timeor 6 p.m. in Miami, at Hard Rock Stadium.

Here’s where to watch Argentina Cape Verde live and in HD depending on your country:

• In France: on beIN Sports for subscribers.
• In Belgium: free on RTBF, unencrypted on Auvio.
• In Switzerland: free on RTS, via Play RTS.
• Elsewhere and for expatriates: a VPN like CyberGhost (€1.59/month, offer -87%, 45 day trial), then RTBF or RTS.

Outside of France, free channels cut access to their live broadcasts. The platforms use your IP address to locate your country and do not start playback outside their territory. A VPN solves the problem by giving you a Belgian or Swiss IP address, so that the service considers you a viewer of the country. The live broadcast is then triggered on the device that suits you, mobile, tablet or connected television.

Argentina Cape Verde: an unprecedented duel in the World Cup

Rarely has a World Cup round of 16 displayed such a difference in level. Argentina completed a group stage without the slightest defeat, with three victories, including a 3-0 against Algeria and a 2-0 over Austria, with an unplayable Lionel Messi, a hat-trick then a double. At 39, in what looks like his last World Cup, the number 10 once again took control of the tournament and became the top scorer in World Cup history, ahead of Miroslav Klose. Alongside him, a high-flying midfielder lines up Rodrigo De Paul, Alexis Mac Allister and Enzo Fernández, with Lautaro Martínez up front. The only alert is the uncertainty surrounding Cristian Romero, who was affected.

Cape Verde is writing one of the most beautiful pages of this World Cup. For its very first participation, the archipelago finished second in a group which included Spain, Uruguay and Saudi Arabia, without losing a single match, thanks to three draws and a granite defense. Bubista’s Blue Sharks are the lowest ranked nation to reach this stage on their first appearance, and the first debutant country to achieve this since Slovakia in 2010. Behind goalkeeper Vozinha, 40 years old and already two clean sheets, they rely on the experience of Ryan Mendes and Jamiro Monteiro to hold the block.

The balance of power is hardly subject to discussion, but a decisive match retains its share of the unexpected, especially against an Argentina whose seven of the last thirteen direct elimination matches in the World Cup have gone into overtime. This is the very first time that Argentina and Cape Verde meet. The winner will challenge Australia or Egypt in the round of 16. In addition to this meeting, a VPN is used all year round. It provides access to Champions League evenings or La Liga matches that France does not broadcast on its public channels, and in the process lifts the restrictions on streaming platforms abroad. Not to mention that it secures your exchanges on shared Wi-Fi, in the departure lounge or in the hotel, when you travel or go on a professional mission.
