I had a feeling this wasn't over

Now that is absolute madness.

This is an all time great World Cup game isn't it.

Considering everything

Whatever happens, Argentina are poor. We'll need Spain or France to stop the sassenach (who are shite too but so is the standard). CV should go for it.

Argentina lead for the 3rd time, that's surely it?

Certainly memorable. Argentina with 48 million population and Cape Verde has 500,000.

Gutted. What a magnificent effort by Cape Verde.

Was a joy to watch.

Cape Verde could have equalised for a 3rd time.

Absolute credit that team.

Can't stand Argentina, defo dont want them to win another wc. Messi was looking for frees from edge of the box all night long. Cape Verde were brilliant and should have taken them to penalties. England Argentina would be a hard watch wouldnt want either to win

Absolute classic. Game of the tournament.

Ominously for Argentina the Cape Verde tactics were spot on. A better team will cut and paste that game plan and be able to carry it through.

You won't have to wait that long, Mexico will send them on the next plane home

Quote from: Milltown Row2 on July 04, 2026, 12:10:30 AMCape Verde have zero chance

Argentina sit 2nd I World rankings

Cape Verde are 64th, league one team uk playing premiership
You are some eejit

This was a piss take, at how much a favourite Argentina are and how they were not finishing them off

Mexico have played absolutely nothing to date. I think England will get their act together and win this one. Mexico will come at them abit more which will leave them vulnerable to the counter attack.

Depends how they cope in the heat. It obviously won't as big a problem for Mexico. Playing a host nation with most of the support for Mexico could be a factor too.
