Why Lionel Messi is being compared to Tom Brady after Argentina’s dramatic FIFA World Cup escape against Egypt
Argentina produced one of the greatest World Cup comebacks by overturning a 2-0 deficit against Egypt to win 3-2 and reach the quarter-finals. Goals from Cristian Romero, Lionel Messi and Enzo Fernandez transformed a likely exit into a historic victory. The dramatic turnaround drew comparisons with the New England Patriots' legendary Super Bowl LI comeback, with Dave Portnoy praising Argentina's championship mentality. Even Tom Brady admitted the World Cup comeback "might top 28-3," adding another layer to Messi's growing legacy as one of sport's all-time greats.
