I had this beautiful thing written down but then Argentina suddenly won the game again so thats great, all my hard work gone just like that. Where do you even begin? Egypt was incredible for 70 minutes, and after that they just fumbled it. Pressure got to them perhaps, but it’s a generational collapse. For Argentina to still win is just absurd after all that, they did not deserve it at all, but ball don’t lie. Messi is just him at the end of the day. I don’t care what FIFA — or what presidents of countries do, they cannot destroy what makes football beautiful. Games like these are the ones you remember for a damn long time. Absolutely heartbreaking for Egypt because they fought so so so hard, but they couldn’t do it for the 90 minutes. But Argentina can’t go on like this, they look so clueless whenever Messi plays poor and it only looks good when he works his magic. Scaloni isn’t even a fraud because everyone knows he has no tactics, it is ran on vibes. Messi does have the most assists ever in the World Cup now, and also scored for 9 world cup games straight now, also the first to score in 6 consecutive knockouts games with a goal, despite having one of the poorest games in a while. And his 21st goal of course bringing him to 30 G/A on the WC. Most insane stat is that Argentina lost their previous 13 games when they were trailing by two goals, but not today. Also first time a player missed two penalties on a single World Cup tournament without penalty shootouts #recordbreaker. Perhaps the best game, i don’t know anymore this world cup is blessing me with too many good games. Man of the match Messi because even when he’s bad he ends on 2 g/a.
