This wasnt a good game but it was exciting to watch for the history of both teams. Argentina played horribly so it wasnt enjoyable from that point of view and Cape did what they could. Entertaining yes, good match no.
Cape Verde is a great example of 11 guys playing as a team with no superstars and egos. They came in as a team, played as a team, and in my bookโฆ Won the hearts and minds of everyone as a team.
Can you imagine some pundits complaining about small unknown countries like Cape Verde, Carucao, etc. This was far better than games between established favourites ๐ฎ๐ข
If u allow Cabo Verde to take u this deep in a match then Argentina needs to be criticisedโฆ they are championsโฆ people are praising Cabo Verde โฆ but hat about a Argentinaโฆ this wa atheist first decent opponent and they almost bottled it
African football is not as the world has continuously underated, we are resilient people…we are coming for the big one in a few more….welcome in advance to Africa the home of Humanity for the next one in 2030.
Phenomenal game. But, at theend of the day " Argentina" stayed focused and WON the game in the "crucial" moment of the tournament. That's what great teams do. Cape Verde is probably the toughest Team they will have to face the rest of the World Cup until they face " France" in the Finals. Again.
this game was going to go one of 2 ways. an absolute stomp for argentina. cape verde have been non stop running for the last 3 games so it was very possible they would be exhausted and make many mistakes, or get sloppy after conceding. or alternatively it would have been a defensive masterclass argentina struggled to break down. im so happy we got the second version
Dude. Cabo Verde has a lifelong fan in me. What a team. What a goalkeeper. Some say he is part octopus. He was EVERYWHERE and understood the assignment. But thatโs what champions do (Argentina): they find ways to win. And I am glad the ref didnโt call the hand in the second half a penalty (and trust me some refs woulda called it on Cabo verde).
This is the other page of world cup, Argentina suffered for a win, and they are applauded and called hard winners.
Now flip that to Portugal, they suffered for a hard win against a highly experienced Croatian side, and every pundit either blames the midfield or ronaldo.
Why don't we applaud all winners the same way for hard win coz what matters at this stage is winning, that's all.

I wonder what Gatustupid from Italy will now say about African teams.
Cape Verde were on the wrong bracket
05 de Julho Cabo Verde faz 51 anos de independรชncia.
This was like the 2022 World Cup Final

Now put some respect on African football we dont talk big we show it on the fieldd unlike England

Will never forget this game. The equalizer deserves to be goal of the tournament
Still not better than last WC final

I don't know much about the sport but that cape verde goalie was awesome ๐๐ฟ๐
Top 3 best World Cup matches I have ever seen.
C'mon, every world cup someone comes up with something superlative like this. It was a good game, but one of the best in all world cups? Please
I was rooting for Cabo to pull an upset.
You will forget it in 2 weeks ๐ข

Correct! 100%
remember to not speak loudly or don't breathe too heavily around messi
The best match in this world cup so far
If it were ANY other team against Cape Verde last night, they would be onto the next round.
Call out how Argentina got some "fouls" go their way. And a lot of fouls they committed wasn't called
and then there's Columbia vs Ghana after that๐
As an Argentina fan for 16 years, I'm used to this
Cabo Verde really played well, with their heart and souls ๐
Cabo Verde was amazing! They did themselves proud!
If I was Argentina I would be worried. Cabo Verde showed what their weaknesses are.
Guys.
I had a heart attack..this was the best game so far. And i. So angry argentina won..just dam this game.. it almost killed me๐ฎ
I am still exhausted from watching the game yesterday
As someone who lived in Cabo verde for years, they deserve all the flowers.
too bad, the racists and cheaters won
Cabo Verde played for the tie, they never played for the win. That is why all their games end up in tie.

It really should have been the final game of the World Cup. I just have the feeling the final is going to disappoint me, in comparison.

HOW DID MESSI PLAY IN THAT GAME ?
This is the other page of world cup, Argentina suffered for a win, and they are applauded and called hard winners.
Now flip that to Portugal, they suffered for a hard win against a highly experienced Croatian side, and every pundit either blames the midfield or ronaldo.
Why don't we applaud all winners the same way for hard win coz what matters at this stage is winning, that's all.
I love Cabo Verde โค
