Lionel Messi misses penalty kick in World Cup shocker as Argentina in early trouble

Lionel Messi apparently has some cracks in his armor. “The Flea” missed a first-half penalty kick Tuesday against Egypt in the Round of 16 of the World Cup, and the reigning champions, Argentina, entered halftime in a 1-0 hole. In the 21st minute, while down a goal, Argentina was awarded a penalty kick, but Egyptian goalkeeper Mostafa Shobeir read Messi like a book and leaped hard left to stop the shot dead in its tracks.
