Indeed! Unbelievable comeback by Argentina! Shear joy from Messi and Company. I wouldn’t recommend playing that way going forward, but they survived and moved on.

in this round of 16 there have been so many goals scored in the last 20% of the game... looks very suspicious

Imagine in football, if they threw a flag for holding, after the play was over.

That’s what they do in soccer, and it’s ridiculous.

I find it very fitting the Egypt soccer team prayed to allah after going up 2-0.

Argentina followed with 3 goals in 15 mins.

The funny thing is, more people in Belgium celebrated Morocco’s win, than Belgium’s win.

Messi was joyous because he knows in his soul that that was really a tied game that should’ve gone on to extra time.

The refs rigged this game.

They disallowed Egypt’s second goal, based on VAR review that should have never happened.

These guys have a pre-determined outcome that they’re trying to put forward. I wonder when the shenanigans will stop.

Imagine after every touchdown, they reviewed the play to see if there was any holding, how that would work out?

But that’s exactly what they do in the WC.

Yes I agree. But who knows what would have happened in the overtime?

Except that's not what they do in soccer.
You guys are getting crazier and more hysterical by the minute.
Real comedians you are.

We will never know. They also missed a found against Argentina in the box, which is why the coach was so ticked off. I don’t blame him one bit.

Egypt was robbed, because the WC overlords have decided that Argentina was definitely going to be in the round of 8.
