Alexis Mac Allister couldn’t hide his elation on social media as he celebrated Argentina’s dramatic passage to the World Cup quarter-finals.Wiht just 12 minutes of normal time remaining in their round-of-16 clash against Egypt, the holders trailed 0-2 and seemed destined for home, but a remarkable 13-minute spell in which they scored three times saw them complete an incredible turnaround.DOWNLOAD THE OFFICIAL EMPIRE OF THE KOP APP FOR ALL THE LATEST & BREAKING UPDATES – STRAIGHT TO YOUR PHONE!

This group is massive. Let’s enjoy the road. Thank you for always accompanying us. Come on Argentina, [sic] F it!’The profanity – which we’ve modified here – was included at the end of the post.Want more Empire of the Kop coverage?
