Egypt deserves a lead against Argentina
This was an impressive performance from Egypt and shows that this team is about more than Mohamed Salah and 10 others.
Goalkeeper Mostafa Chobeir was particularly impressive, saving Messi’s penalty and also denying what looked like a sure-fire goal from Julián Alvarez in the first half.
Latest News: As I write this, Argentina have pulled one back with a goal from Cristian Romero, so the game could be back on track!
Still, the South American giants made a late exit, leaving underdog Egypt in a good position to pick up a big win here.
