In Atlanta, beneath the weight of history and the roar of competing nations, Argentina once again found a way to endure. Trailing England with minutes remaining in their World Cup semifinal, the defending champions summoned the kind of resolve that defines great teams — scoring twice in the final five minutes to win 2-1 and advance to Sunday's final against Spain at MetLife Stadium. At 39, Lionel Messi continues his improbable pursuit of a second consecutive world championship, a feat that would place him and his nation in territory no team has occupied in over six decades.
