Tom Brady compares Argentina's dramatic World Cup rally to Patriots' Super Bowl comeback

One of the most dramatic matches of the FIFA World Cup unfolded Tuesday afternoon at Atlanta Stadium.

After next week's World Cup semifinal, the stadium will shed its tournament identity. Mercedes-Benz Stadium will reclaim its name, and the natural grass installed for the tournament will give way to the artificial turf used for Falcons games before Atlanta hosts the Denver Broncos in a preseason game next month.

While the retractable-roof stadium continues to host World Cup drama, its regular tenant knows all too well what it's like to be at the center of football heartbreak.

More than nine years ago, Tom Brady engineered one of the greatest comebacks in NFL history, rallying the New England Patriots from a 28-3 deficit to defeat the Falcons in overtime in Super Bowl LI.

Moments after Lionel Messi equalized in the 83rd minute to erase Argentina's two-goal deficit against Egypt, Enzo Fernández completed the comeback with a header as the final minutes ticked off the clock. Brady then took to social media, drawing a comparison to the Patriots 2017 comeback.

"Yeah so that might top 28-3," the seven-time Super Bowl winner wrote on X, adding a mind-blown emoji.

Egypt got on the board first on Tuesday afternoon, courtesy of Yasser Ibrahim's goal in the 15th minute. His teammate Mostafa Zico followed with a score in the 67th to build Egypt's lead to 2-0.

Messi helped guide Argentina to its first World Cup title in four years, defeating France in a final that was ultimately decided by penalty kicks.

Argentina's 3-2 comeback Tuesday booked its place in the quarterfinals, where it will face the winner of Switzerland and Colombia on Saturday in Kansas City, Missouri. Switzerland and Colombia were scoreless at halftime of their Round of 16 match.
