WORLD CUP DAILY: Messi and Argentina roll on but Egypt rage at referee | Haaland the man to down England?

from OTB Football

Phil Egan is back with Wednesday’s World Cup Daily as Argentina somehow survive a classic against Egypt — Messi misses a penalty, then delivers more magic, but the big talking point is whether Argentina got the rub of the green with some key refereeing calls.There’s also a quarter-final place for Switzerland after a dramatic shootout win over Colombia, setting up a 2am (Irish time) showdown with the world champions on Sunday.Plus: a look ahead to the first quarter-finals, Haaland’s threat for England, and Shamrock Rovers left with plenty to do after a 2-0 loss in Malta.
