Argentina begins its defense of the World Cup title on Tuesday night when it faces Algeria at Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City.

Boosted by the inclusion of its greatest-ever player, Lionel Messi, La Albiceleste has been in fine form in the buildup to the tournament and is widely expected to mount another deep run—if not retain the trophy.

However, in Algeria, Lionel Scaloni’s side face one of Africa’s most dangerous attacking teams, featuring established stars such as Riyad Mahrez, alongside emerging talents like Ibrahim Maza, ensuring the team will not be overawed or easily swept aside.

With memories still fresh of Argentina’s shock opening defeat to Saudi Arabia four years ago, attention will once again turn to whether history might repeat itself—or whether Messi and Co. can set the tone from the outset this time around.

Here’s where and how you can watch the match-up between Argentina and Algeria.
