Argentina come from 2-0 down to beat Egypt, reach World Cup quarter-finals

sportsJul 7, 202617240

Argentina overturned a 2-0 deficit to beat Egypt 3-2 in a Round of 16 match in Atlanta, scoring three late goals to advance to the World Cup quarter-finals. Egypt took a shock lead through Yasser Ibrahim and Mostafa Zico and then restricted Argentina further with goalkeeper Mostafa Shobeir, who saved Lionel Messi's first-half penalty. Cristian Romero began the fightback with a header in the 79th minute and Lionel Messi equalized five minutes later with a composed finish. Deep into stoppage time Enzo Fernández finished a swift counterattack to complete the comeback and seal the victory. The win keeps Argentina alive in the tournament and sends Lionel Scaloni's team to face the winner of Switzerland versus Colombia in the quarter-finals.

First the Dallas PD harasses them and then VAR robs them.

after thinking about it for a while, this is what i've settled on 1) Egypt did commit a foul but it should not have been reviewed (count the goal) 2) Argentina did not commit a foul but it should have been reviewed (count the goal)

Zlatan Ibrahimović: "I don't understand how Argentina always gets favoured by FIFA, they clearly disallowed a legal goal of Egypt and they gave Argentina 8 Penalties in the last 12 World Cup games, I don't understand why the other countries are letting it happen" #worldcup

In general you turn on every match hoping to see something like Argentina-Egypt, and very rarely you get what you came for. This World Cup has had a handful of them already. Just told the 8-y.o. that his first World Cup is setting the bar really high.

Seems like the guys in the VAR-room suddenly fell asleep. #MaFiFA

Nein.1

The referees couldn't let Messi lose. The third goal for the Argentinian cheaters came after at least two fouls. #MaFIFA

What. A. Game. Gutted for Egypt. But regardless of what you make of any of the refereeing decisions, Argentina simply do not lay down. #ARGEGY #WorldCup #fifaworldcup

All of this effort, just to go out vs Columbia in the QFs.

Y’all, I am hearing that while Egypt was up 2-0 on Argentina, Mitch McConnell received the light of Islam and unhesitatingly recited the Shahada. Even now he looks down on the Ummah from the gardens of Jannah. Truly there is no god but Allah, and Mohammad is his prophet!

I didn't watch the match as I was still corporating but I was being updated on the score. I had a funny feeling Argentina would end up winning because it's what they do. They're full of quality players who can just turn it on. Gutted for Egypt. Just a shame that racist cunt scored at the end 🙄

This World Cup has been something else, hasn't it? Imagine even a month ago telling someone that Brazil, Portugal & now (potentially) Argentina won't be in the Quarter Finals. THIS is what it’s all about.
