      Getting out of the group is a huge accomplishment for a World Cup debutant, and taking this Argentina side to extra time and coming out to play like you mean it is truly incredible. I’ve never seen anything like it, and lemme tell you I watch a lot of soccer.

    Cape Verde? I didn’t recognize the flag, and searching turned out to be harder than I expected :\

          I couldn’t stay awake to watch it.

          Went to Cabo Verde last year, on Sal and I fucking loved the place so decided to low key support them.

          Then they drew with Spain and everyone jumped on that bandwagon jaja

            Hahaha I’ll be honest I’d never heard of it until this year, but that little nation made a big splash! Much like Curacao, what a freaking showing.

            If you can get your hands on a full replay vs. Argentina, I highly recommend going back to watch - my experience was that it gave credence to “the beautiful game” slogan :)

              I’ve been a CV fan since the group stage (went to the CPV KSA match) and that was such a fun game to watch. They poured their hearts out. You could tell Argentina was stunned
