El segundo gol de Argentina contra Egipto y, en general, todo el Segundo Tiempo de ayer, es un hecho monumental en la historia de los Mundiales y en la historia del fútbol. Acabo de verlo detenidamente otra vez y, realmente, no lo puedo creer. Está bien que soy parcial, pero no recuerdo nada igual. Obra maestra de nuestra Selección, genios absolutos todos, no tengo palabras para agradecerles. Se merecen lo mejor del universo.
The Argentina come back against Egypt is one of the best matches in football history.
I analyzed ~50,000 games with Fable to show just how crazy it was.
Of the 10,138 times that a team has been up 2-0 at 79', only SIXTEEN times (0.16%) did they ever make a come back at the end of 90 minutes.
This is the first time it's happened in a World Cup.
He was on the verge of a historic achievement but ruined it himself with poor substitutions and time management. Now, he is complaining because his team was not coached well enough to hold a 2-0 lead for over 20 minutes. Argentina won fair and square.
Roy Keane blast Hossam Hassan's(Egypt's Manager) on claim that Argentina were favoured because of World Cup marketing:
🗣️ "That's the sort of excuse you expect from supporters after a bad night, not from a national team manager. If your team throws away a 2–0 lead late in the game, the first place you should be looking is in the mirror.
Every time Messi wins, people start talking about conspiracies instead of football. It's lazy. Accept the defeat, analyse what went wrong, and improve your team.
Blaming referees and claiming the tournament is a marketing scheme doesn't change the fact that your side couldn't see the game out. That's not the mentality a national team manager should have. Leaders take responsibility,they don't look for excuses."
