0-2 to 3-2 is some movie shit
Egypt goalkeeper did his part. 💪
At 75min, I'm already in the acceptance stage, I was about to play "Don't Cry For Me Argentina", but the boys came back with 3 goals in just 13 minutes, what a game! 😭🥲😀 Vamos Argentina!
Almost gave up watching at the 76' minute mark but said to myself, Messi is still playing. And indeed, Messi happened.
Sulit yung puyat kahit inaantok na ako dahil 0-2 na pero na comeback pa ngayon hndi tulot na ako makatulog 😂
3 goals within 13min just after 78min is clutch as hell.
Messi missed his penalty to knock out Egypt fair and square
Every opponent goalkeeper of Argentina in the knockouts played like Prime Iker Casillas. Argentina should have a at least 5 goals scored if not for the goalkeeper heroics.
Egypt relaxed in the last 15 mins. They became comfortable with 2-0 lead. They forgot Messi is still playing.
Thanks, Aleph Arena for uploading the full Argentina vs Egypt match. My son and I really enjoyed watching it. Thanks for making these full matches available. It's much appreciated. Keep up the great work!
Messi pointing Lauturo for a pass in the last play what a captain
Netflix documentary for this World Cup will be peak!
2-0 is a death score. As a soccer fan I have prepared myself that Argentina's journey ends in Egypt but man, Lionel Messi refuses to go. He has created magic again. His second goal fired up the whole team that they can win. What a game, What a comeback. I will treasure this moment as long as I'm alive.
crazy comeback
1:02 You can see iShowSpeed in the front row with a red shirt 😂
Denying Egypt that goal by the slightest of touches is astonishing
4:02, messi also played a big part on the third goal as a leader. When alvarez was about to pass the ball to messi, messi pointed for him to pass the ball to lautaro. That decision helped the team to create that winning goal. So, technically, messi contributed all the 3 goals. GOAT for a reason.
No more Ancara messi that can dribble all the enemy. But still this old messi is deadly.
Naspaken ah! Akala ko talo na ang Argentina dahil 0-2 na sila kaya wala na ako gana. Tapos nanalo na pala sila. Grabe, Messi is him, from the Philippines 🇵🇭.
When Hassan got substituted, that's when Egypt started to collapse... EPIC COMEBACK by Argentina!!
