In hindsight, Argentina going behind was a blessing in disguise. England dropped deeper and deeper, and Argentina just kept on piling the pressure and got the equalizer. From their, they had all the momentum to go on and win the game in regular time.
Why do Ronaldo fans want the same team in the WC that they face in qualifiers? Even the top nations in Europe don't give their all for Nations League like Portugal and Rinaldo do.
@sznxne It's no coincidence that Spain's golden period coincides with Barcelona's best and Madrid's worst.
Also Spain's worst period coincided with Madrid's best and Barca's worst.
The duality of man. Scores a screamer yet missed an easy chance to square the ball to Alvarez who would've made it 2-0 against Switzerland and buried the game.
Here’s another view of that Salah “penalty” from the stands.
Watch his reaction after.
No complaining, no throwing his hands up appealing for a foul, and no moaning…because there was NOTHING there.
@Parsva_10 Such a shame that Romero's goal against Cabo Verde went down as an own goal. Messi would've been on 2 assists and 10 overall in the WCs. Would've boosted his chance for golden boot as well since Mbappe is also on 2 assists.
Makes it even more fitting that to win his crowning glory in 2022, he had to bury each of his last 5 penalties (2 Netherlands, including shootout), 1 Croatia with the giant Livakovic, & 2 more in final vs France.
Miss even one of those 5, and he doesn’t become World Champion 🙏
