Argentina players were heard singing a chant referencing the Falkland Islands in their dressing room after their stunning comeback win over Egypt‚ with their supporters already embracing the prospect of facing England in a World Cup semi-final. The reigning world champions had trailed Egypt 2-0 heading into the closing stages of their last-16 tie in Atlanta. A 79th minute goal from Cristian Romero sparked an Argentina fightback‚ with captain Lionel Messi scoring the equaliser just four minutes later.

Egypt manager Hossam Hassan has furiously accused FIFA of rigging the World Cup after a string of controversial refereeing decisions went against his side during Argentina's dramatic late comeback in Atlanta on Tuesday. Argentina‚ who were 2-0 down with 12 minutes to play plus stoppage time‚ looked destined to exit the tournament before late goals from Cristian Romero‚ Lionel Messi and Enzo Fernandez resulted in a remarkable 3-2 comeback victory. As Fernandez's game-winning header rippled the net in the 93rd minute‚ chaos broke out on the touchline as Egypt's furious staff remonstrated with referee Francois Letexier‚ leading to goalkeeper coach Saafan El-Sagheer being shown a red card and manager Hassan being dragged away from a confrontation with the official.

Cristian Romero feared to be out for remainder of season for Spurs

Tottenham captain Cristian Romero is out for the remainder of the Premier League season but could recover in time to feature for Argentina at the World Cup. The Tottenham captain tearfully hobbled off during Spurs' dismal 1-0 defeat against Sunderland on Sunday‚ having suffered a knee injury after a collision with team-mate Antonin Kinsky. Romero appeared distraught and was consoled by team-mates as he was substituted off with injury‚ perhaps conscious that he could play no further part in Tottenham's relegation battle and would likely miss Argentina's World Cup defence this summer.

Sources: Cristian Romero out for rest of season

Cristian Romero has been criticised by former England goalkeeper Ben Foster after he left the pitch in tears during Tottenham's catastrophic 1-0 defeat against Sunderland. The Argentine defender‚ 27‚ hobbled off the pitch midway through the second half with a suspected knee injury after colliding with his own goalkeeper Antonin Kinsky.
