This team will give you a heart attack.
It was like this in Qatar four years ago. Argentina were always on the brink. They whip up hysteria and euphoria in equal measure. After being taken to extra time by Cape Verde in Miami, Argentina found themselves down and out in Atlanta.
They fell behind. They did everything to get level. They should have been in the lead. But it didn’t look like being their day. Lionel Messi missed a penalty and Mostafa Shobeir saved everything.
When Lionel Scaloni made changes, Egypt doubled their lead. Requiem for Messi’s World Cup career were being written. But once again, his left foot served as CTRL+ALT+DELETE.
