Argentina will face Cape Verde in the penultimate round of the Round of 16 at the 2026 FIFA World Cup, scheduled for Friday, July 3, at the Hard Rock Stadium in Miami. The match will take place at 19:00 Argentine time and will be broadcast live by several television channels including DSports, Telefé, TyC Sports, and the Public Television, as well as digital platforms such as Paramount+ and Disney+.

If he cannot play, Nicolás Otamendi would replace him. Cape Verde, making its debut in a World Cup, has reached the Round of 16 undefeated after finishing second in Group H with three draws.

The piece highlights concerns over Scaloni's focus and preparation, suggesting potential issues with his leadership and attention to detail.

An Argentina where failures contradict each other and priorities seem to have gone astray

It focuses on recent developments in corruption investigations, particularly the Supreme Court's decision to uphold the asset seizure against Cristina Kirchner and others. The piece critiques the judicial system's inefficiency and inconsistency, noting that while some cases progress quickly, others become entangled in legal processes for years.

Agost Carreño turns the fight for Adorni into a republican exam for Córdoba
In a week marked by tension in the national Congress over the issue of Adorni, legislator Oscar Agost Carreño from the PRO party has shifted the discussion to Córdoba with a resolution proposal aimed at generating political noise in the provincial unicameral legislature. The initiative seeks to have the Córdoba Legislature instruct its three senators and urge its 18 national deputies to promote and support constitutional mechanisms of oversight against National Chief of Cabinet Manuel Adorni. This includes measures such as interrogation and potential motion of censure, tools outlined in Article 101 of the National Constitution but rarely used since the 1994 constitutional reform. Carreño aims to bring the matter to the floor this Wednesday through a request for immediate consideration. While he has limited maneuverability for approval, the proposal opens up political discussions within the Córdoba peronist faction and opposition blocs facing President Javier Milei's government.
