After Lionel Messi missed a penalty against Egypt in a World Cup match, Brazilian internet users quickly compared the incident to a similar miss by Bruno Guimarães. Guimarães had missed a penalty for Brazil against Norway in a match that led to Brazil's elimination from the tournament. Social media users created memes comparing the two moments, with some noting the irony after Argentine fans had previously mocked Guimarães's miss. Some users also compared Messi's miss to Neymar, who successfully scored a penalty for Brazil in the same match against Norway.
