Tuesday's nail-biting encounter between Argentina and Egypt should have been remembered for a spectacular footballing comeback. Instead, the post-match fallout has been utterly dominated by Egypt's fury over what they claim was blatantly unfair refereeing.
It wasn't just a claim though, as that single controversial moment at the death of the game became the focal point.
It even got me emotional because of how blatant the referee swept the foul under the rug and moved on with the game, as compared to when Argentina called for a review minutes before. But that one decision should not take light away from the fact that Argentina completely dominated Egypt, especially in the latter moments of the match
Not just Lionel Messi. Argentina as a whole.
