What a match we watch last night! Egypt was beating Argentina 2-0 with just 15 minutes to the end. Argentinian faces at the cooling break were announcing drama. However, if you have the GOAT in your team, anything can happen.
He sent a ball to the middle of the box at 78 minutes and Romero, a defender, scored 1-2. A few minutes later Messi took the ball again and scored to put the draw that guaranteed the extra time. But in the overtime, Enzo with a header put the final 3-2 and Argentina goes to the QFs.
Egypt team was not happy with the referees commencing with penalty that Messi missed in the first half, a goal not conceded by the VAR to Egypt due to a rigorous foul at the beginning of the play and, finally, because they did not check a possible foul at the start of the play that ended up in the last Argentinian goal.
In the other match of the day, Switzerland beat Colombia in the penalty shoot out. A game that could end up in the boring side to be honest.
Today is the first day without a match in the last 4 weeks. Enjoy this day to charge batteries as the final stages start tomorrow.
once more suspicious referees interpretation
Amazing comeback for Argentina.
Two in a row, will they complete another one? Switzerland will probably not count with Manzambi which is a big loss for them. Despite of this, the match is going to be really interesting.
Who could imagine BK getting a point in a elimination game, if you didn't catch a nap you're a brave hero
Messi is disgusting, when i got thrilled Brasil wouldn't be the biggest disappointment of the round he does that
1 South American
1 African
6 Europeans
The balance has shifted too much
Yes, this is an ongoing discussion for many years. Europe, this time, has inclined the balance towards the Old Continent. Only Messi is holding the CONMEBOL , is it time for the teams to reconsider what they are doing ? I can see African teams progressing instead.
In one sentence: corruption from the federations drained our Nations
Argentina is lucky to have Messi, there's no real work to active greatness. Spain as an example saw Brasil football in 1982 and decided that's the way we want to play, it's 40 years building orientated development. France has public funding in development for decades and thanks for it's "colonization" had 99 french born players in this World Cup.
Thankfully my club Flamengo took the pain pill, restructured and now is starting to enjoy a level of dominance that makes me proud and now it's easy to don't give a fck for the national team, Flamengo will beat an European club in the final of club World Cup before Brasil gets the 6 ⭐
It seems African nations are cursed, seriously!
Ivory Coast, Senegal, Cape Verde, all eliminated in very tragic circumstances.
That reminds me of Ghana Vs. Uruguay in 1/4 finals, a decade ago, with the late penalty awarded to Ghana, missed by Asamoah Gyan, and their subsequent elimination. Or remember Cameroon in 1990? We were leading 2-1 against England in 1/4 finals, with 8 minutes to go, but eventually lost 3:2.
Same playbook.
Brutal.
