If I’m Egypt, I would not be letting Argentina come back on me like that with little ground to gain, I’m just not!

This is the 6th World Cup in a row where they flamed out embarrassingly against a European power or plucky upstart, and their core isn't getting any younger. They're just not scary at these international competitions anymore.

Meanwhile, Argentina is ranked #1 in the World, has the best player of his generation on the roster, and a burgeoning deep roster. They're favored to win it all again in the U.S., while everyone just kinda knew Brazil was doomed to fail, just maybe a bit sooner than expected.

What say y'all?

* 20 point lead around halftime.
* 10 point lead in the last 7 minutes.
* One team basically trails the whole time until the very end.
* One guy blows it by trying to clinch on a last-second scoring drive instead of dribbling the clock out and forcing a foul (Cayden Boozer’s errant pass, De’Aaron Fox’s blocked drive to the basket)
* Game-winning shot on high risk play (Mullins 3 from the logo, Anunoby tip-in from Brunson miss)

And also, both technically happened in a Game 4. But at least Duke didn’t have to play another game after their defeat, am I right?
