World Cup Round of 16 continues with fireworks 💥
Argentina vs Egypt. Messi vs Salah. GOAT vs King.
Argentina came second in their group but this is knockout football now. With Messi, anything is possible. Alvarez, Fernandez, Mac Allister. Young boys running for the boss one last time.
But Egypt? They have Salah. And 100 million people praying. If Salah is on form, he can beat any defense alone.
HOW ARGENTINA CAN WIN
Messi magic. Simple. If Messi gets the ball between the lines, Egypt are in trouble. Alvarez will run behind. Di Maria’s experience matters. And the crowd? Argentines travel everywhere.
HOW EGYPT CAN WIN
Salah. Counter attack. Sit back, defend deep, then release Salah. One chance is all he needs. El-Shenawy in goal has been massive. If Egypt frustrate Argentina for 70 minutes, the pressure will break them.
PREDICTED LINEUPS
ARGENTINA 4-3-3: Martinez; Molina, Romero, Otamendi, Tagliafico; De Paul, Fernandez, Mac Allister; Di Maria, Alvarez, MESSI
EGYPT 4-3-3: El-Shenawy; Hakimi, Hegazi, Abdel Monem, Hamdy; Elneny, Hamed, Fathi; Salah, Marmoush, Trezeguet
THE BIG BATTLE
Messi vs Egypt’s defense. If Messi is free, Argentina score 3. If Egypt double-team him, Salah will punish Argentina on the break.
MY PREDICTION: ARGENTINA 2-1 EGYPT
I want Messi to go far. But Salah won’t make it easy. Expect drama. Expect late goals.
