NFL Legend Tom Brady Reacts to Argentina's Stunning World Cup Comeback

NFL legend Tom Brady compared Argentina’s World Cup comeback to his own most famous rally as the defending champions erased a two-goal deficit to beat Egypt 3-2 in the 2026 FIFA World Cup Round of 16. On X, Brady wrote “Yeah so that might top 28-3,” referencing Super Bowl LI in 2017, when he led the New England Patriots from a 28-3 hole against the Atlanta Falcons. The match also occurred in Atlanta, reinforcing the connection. Egypt appeared headed out after Mostafa Zico scored in the 67th minute to make it 2-0. Argentina responded with Cristian Romero heading in at 79th, Messi equalizing four minutes later, and Enzo Fernandez scoring a stoppage-time header to reach the quarterfinals. The comeback stood out further because Messi had missed a penalty earlier, while Egypt’s keeper Mostafa Shobeir made several key saves. A resilient tactical shape kept chance creation moving until the final whistle.
