Small Island with Big Dreams 🦈 Cape Verde every game surprises us more and more honestly and someone please check if Vozinha is actually 40 or no ! No way their defense and entire squad gave everyone a hard time while having current best players on the planet . I genuinely couldn’t believe it, because I don’t know Argentina are bad or Cape Verde are so good that they make other teams look average . This match going to extra time is the last thing I expected, honestly Cape Verde showed the world what playing with your soul for the badge could do and where it can take you. Today, we almost witnessed arguably the biggest upset in world cup history. Cape Verde defend but they defend to do something, and when they attack, they sting where it hurts most which is even more impressive, I am still shocked. The only things that was expected and it happened it is that Argentina won at the end, but they needed to give 200% to win. So happy for Messi, yet so sad for Cape Verde, their passion and unexpected performance will truly be missed and forever remembered. Cape Verde were the secret sauce to this tournament, they were the team that showed big nation’s weaknesses, they were the reason that big nations changed a lot of things. The emotions during this match were all over the place, it was something special and cannot be described what so ever, only people watched the game will ever understand. Cape Verde, welcome to history and you can leave with your heads up.. 🇦🇷🇨🇻

A country with less than a million residents put up a fantastic fight against Argentina, what else could you ask for your first WC appearance? I'm super happy for Cape Verde and I cant even begin to imagine how much this means to the cape verdeans. Seriously, because of moments like this, it saddens me how much complaining there is about the expansion, clearly comes from people whose country is always present at the World Cup, people who dont understand how much this means to others

Fuck Ryan Mendes first of all, get some fucking consent first you idiot. Fairly slow game the first half, as expected a defensive Cabo Verde, couple of chances for Argentina but they needed a absolute beauty of a pass from Martinez (made in Amsterdam) and a even better finish from Lionel Messi to score the 1-0, what a first touch and what a goal, insane. Second half Argentina played way too slow, Cabo Verde got more into the game with some chances, but actually scoring the 1-1 is a beautiful moment for the country. Scored by someone born in Netherlands. Vozinha was again insane, few incredible saves. Incredible how this went to extra time, its Cabo Verde their whole identity or something. Lisandro Martinez scoring a quick goal which was perfectly placed, i love that man. But Cabo Verde, specifically Sidny Lopes Cabral, born in Rotterdam as well, scoring potentially the best goal of the tournament and him just running into the stands, standing there for awhile just not knowing what to do, and eventually getting hugged by his girlfriend, is maybe the most beautiful moment of the tournament for me, love that they didnt cut away from that. Thats just special. Is it Argentina if they dont still score the winner? Unfortunate goal to concede since it also deflected of a handball from a defender. Argentina were weird though, just so slow this game and every time when they got a lead they just stopped bothering to do more, they have enough quality to keep going. Huge respect for Cabo Verde though, they gave it their absolute everything. Messi is the first player to score 7+ goals in two editions of the Mens World Cup, first player to score 20 WC goals, he also now has 13 goal contributions in knockout games, surpassing both Pelé and Mbappé who have 11. Also 12 goals in the last 8 WC games. And also the first player to score in 5 straight knockout games. Man of the match Lisandro Martinez, he was great all game honestly and a incredible assist + a good goal.
