Argentina
Cape Verde Islands

Holy shit what the fuck just happened. As an Argentinian I can give a review that others won’t be able to, and oh my god this was so stressful. I was scared going into this match but I thought we would be able to pull through comfortably… but boy was I wrong. First half was boring but we dominated and Messi’s goal for the 8th World Cup game in a row made it look like we were going to get our easy win, but a second half goal out of nowhere turned the tides. That goal really made me realise the problems with this team. I had been seeing it in the group but I thought that would change in the knockouts, but we are relying way to heavily on Leo. The rest of this team is extremely sluggish and the midfield moves the ball so slowly. Mac and Enzo are very poor and Lautaro, Almada and Gonzalez are absolutely abysmal in attack. They haven’t been stepping up at all, and in a game where Messi was being contained their weaknesses are really showing. But thankfully Lisandro scored a banger in extra time to surely allow us to settle for the win, but then the goal of the tournament just got launched in out of fucking nowhere and we were in panic mode again. But alas an unfortunate own goal from a Messi corner proved to be the winner and an intense game that nobody saw coming.Gott I feel really bad for Cape Verde and I’m very sad we had to face them because they could have gone far if they played almost anybody else, but hey this is football. Their structure is so solid I really am shocked at how good they are, Vozinha absolutely insane this match aswell. We were very very sloppy today and only two players performed very well: Licha and Dibu. Dibu once again proving to be one of the best keepers in the world with his vital saves, and wow what a game Lisandro had. Most will give Vozinha the motm for the sympathy but realistically Lisandro was the best player on the pitch and came out on the winning side. But yea, long review, I hope we fix our problems for Egypt and later games!
