Singapore vs. Argentina: Time, Live Stream and TV Schedule for 2017 Friendly

Argentina will play their final match before the summer break against Singapore on Tuesday, the last friendly before FIFA 2018 World Cup qualifying resumes.

La Albiceleste are coming off a big win over rivals Brazil in Australia in a friendly, and, in all likelihood, Singapore will provide them with a less challenging test. The Lions have already been knocked out of qualifying for the World Cup.

Here's everything you need to know about the upcoming contest.

Date: Tuesday, June 13

Time: 1 p.m. BST/8 a.m. ET

Venue: National Stadium, Kallang

TV Info: Canal 7 TV Publica (no broadcasts available in the U.S. or UK)

Live Stream: TyC Sports Play

Even the most diehard fans of the sport may not be too familiar with football in Singapore. The Lions have never participated in a World Cup, haven't qualified for the AFC Asian Cup since 1984 and have never won any silverware outside of the AFF Championship, a little-known tournament in southeast Asia.

With the exception of two players who ply their trade in Malaysia and one in Thailand, the entire squad is made up of domestic-based players. This includes Irfan Fani, the team's most promising young player who will hope to catch the eye of overseas scouts.

In comparison, Argentina's squad is filled with star talent, although Lionel Messi will not play. As shared by ST Sports Desk, he flew to Singapore with his team-mates but left shortly after:

In his absence, the scoring load will be carried by Juventus' Paulo Dybala, as well as Mauro Icardi of Inter Milan. The striker hasn't had too many opportunities with the team in the past―expect him to grasp this one with both hands.

According to La Nacion (h/t Football Italia), he's set to start in Kallang, with Gonzalo Higuain already released to begin his summer break. Icardi and Dybala could well be the future of the team―it will be great to see them playing together, even if it is against a limited opponent.

In all likelihood, Argentina won't push too hard against Singapore, with the top stars aching to go on holiday and avoid injury. There's little the coaching staff will learn from a match against such a lowly opponent, no matter how hard the hosts try.
