This carry job by an ageing Messi is so insane…
He looked his age for large portions of the game, crowded out by the bodies and for once looking mortal - running into them clumsily.
Then peels out wide and turns back the clock. Winger Messi like when he broke onto the scene…
Then the delivery to instigate the comeback, the perfectly executed half-volley…
Epitomises him. Feeds others first, but equally capable of seizing the moment himself too. Perfect balance of team player and hero…
The GOAT 🐐

Never sean a cleaner tackle in my life. Just because Salah fell over doesn't mean Julian didn't win the ball cleanly. Not only did he win it cleanly, he rolled it away from Salah which means he had full control of the ball.
I can't believe this is what everyone's crying about
They barely survived against Cape Verde, they've barely survived tonight against Egypt. Scaloni needs to make some changes against Colombia/Switzerland.
Argentina's performances are going to catch up to them at some point if they don't adjust.
I genuinely have no idea what foul he's talking about. Salah tried to dribble and lost the ball clean as a whistle. Are people undergoing mass psychosis?
2 - The last two players to score, complete 5+ dribbles, and create 5+ open play chances in a @FIFAWorldCup match:
