Where to watch Argentina's World Cup matches in Miami

• Two of the national team's biggest stars, Messi and Rodrigo De Paul, play for Inter Miami.
• Argentinian fans and TV crews are also in town for the World Cup, perhaps hoping that Argentina wins its group and plays in the knockout stage July 3 at Hard Rock Stadium.

What they're saying: When Argentina's La Nacion asked a recent transplant what brought her to Miami four years ago, she said: "The ocean, the money, the sun, everything. ... There's also a lot of Argentinians here."

Driving the news: The three-time World Cup champions play Monday at 1pm against Austria in the second of three matches in the group stage.

• La Albiceleste are coming off a historic tournament debut Tuesday, when Messi scored his first World Cup hat trick just days away from his 39th birthday.
• Before Monday's match, you can get into the Argentinian spirit at Sabor a Patria, a free community gathering and concert from 5 to 10pm at Normandy Fountain in Miami Beach.
