The Argentina comeback win over Egypt in the 2026 World Cup Round of 16 had everything: An incredible goalie performance (for a bit), a VAR controversy, a tweet by none other than Tom Brady, and finally, Lionel Messi scoring the game-tying goal that made Andres Cantor lose his mind and his voice.
And the photo from that goal was just unreal. It was snapped by Elsa of Getty Images — she’s shot so many incredible sports moments — and just look at it: It’s from inside the net as the ball goes in, with Messi watching from afar and getting ready to celebrate. The rest of the players are watching it, with some realizing what just happened.
It’s so good:
Truly incredible work here.
