Tom Brady: Argentina's World Cup Comeback vs Egypt Might Top 28-3

NFL legend Tom Brady, a seven-time Super Bowl champion, has compared Argentina's dramatic 3-2 victory over Egypt in the 2026 World Cup Round of 16 to his own historic 28-3 comeback in Super Bowl LI. In a post on X, Brady wrote, "Yeah so that might top 28-3."

The match in Atlanta saw Lionel Messi and Argentina trailing 2-0 until the 79th minute, when they finally scored. Messi equalized minutes later, and Enzo Fernandez netted the winner in stoppage time, eliminating Mohamed Salah's Egypt.

Brady's 28-3 reference is iconic: in Super Bowl LI, his New England Patriots trailed the Atlanta Falcons by that score in the third quarter before rallying to win 34-28 in overtime. That game is widely regarded as the greatest comeback in NFL history.

Fan reactions are mixed. Some agree with Brady, calling Argentina's fightback one of the most thrilling moments of the tournament. Others argue that a Round of 16 match cannot compare to a championship game. Brady didn't elaborate further.

For Argentina, the win keeps their title defense alive. Lionel Scaloni's side advances to the quarterfinals, boosted by the dramatic victory. The team hopes to carry this momentum forward.

Brady, who retired in 2023, remains active on social media and often weighs in on major sports events. His comparison has sparked debate among football and American football fans alike.
