Tom Brady: Argentina’s miraculous World Cup comeback ‘might top 28-3’

One GOAT may have outdone another.

Tom Brady weighed in on Argentina’s Lionel Messi-led miracle three-goal World cup comeback against Egypt in Atlanta on Tuesday, putting the rally in terms American football fans could comprehend.

“Yeah so that might top 28-3,” he wrote of the Round of 16 match on X along with a blown mind emoji.

Brady knows a thing or two about comebacks, having led the Patriots to a Super Bowl 51 win in 2017, in which they rallied from a 28-3 deficit against the Falcons with less than three minutes left in the third quarter. 

The six-time Super Bowl champ passed for 466 yards and two touchdowns that game and became the first four-time Super Bowl MVP with the effort. 

Argentina scored three times in the final 21 minutes of their match to take a 3-2 win.

Egypt came out strong, scoring in the 15th minute and the 67th. 

The African side’s goalie Mostafa Shoubir did his best to keep the lead, making four saves, including one from a Messi penalty, but the Argentinian avalanche proved to be too much in the end. 

Messi provided a wonderful ball to Cristian Romero in the 79th to bring the game within one, then the eight-time Ballon d’Or winner quickly tied it up four minutes later. 

Chelsea’s Enzo Fernandez scored the winner with his first goal of the tournament. 

Some disagreed with the Fox NFL analyst’s take.

“Not even close Brady cmon,” one commenter responded.

Others pointed to another Messi-involved matchup, Barcelona’s comeback from four goals down against PSG in the 2016-17 Champions League.
