Cape Verde ...

[doublethink]

Hats off. Argentina may have outscored you 3-2 but damn. This night belongs to you. Peace and Celebrate. Wow.

1. I love the underdogs!

2. +1,000

They kept me smiling

[doublethink]

5. They kept bringing it ...

Pretty Amazing against the defending World Champions. What a stunning game.

6. That was FUN!!!

Cape Verde can hold their heads up high. Almost slew Goliath.

9. It was like the first Rocky movie but real life

An unknown no-hoper goes against the world champion and matches them nearly punch for punch. They may not have won in the end but no one can say they beat them in 90 minutes.

7. Great game. ❤️

They played with a lot of heart.

Looks great.

8. It was less an Argentine win than survival

Cabo Verde refused to quit; they were close to equalizing a third time. Awesome game!

10. Just about to watch the highlights

We were helping at a fireworks event at our church (which has a great view of the city's fireworks). I was doling out popcorn to gobs of people and my phone started pinging. Messages from my son, my sister, etc. "I can't believe what I'm seeing!"

I opened my phone at the 91st minute and laughed out loud. Gotta love Cape Verde - such an underdog.

This has been a great WC so far.

15. A most memorable World Cup game'

[debsy]

16. I really wanted Cape Verde to win

Primarily because melee (I know I spelled it wrong - I did it on purpose) doesn’t deserve the platform.

17. Helluva...

game? Match? Either way, so much excitement.

[IronLionZion]

18. That was an exciting game to watch

[angrychair]

19. And despite

The refs siding with Argentina multiple times. They played incredibly well even with the deck stacked against them.

[Iggo]

20. Helluva game.

I watched it down at the taqueria. Argentinians and Messi-haters alike. One hell of an overtime. Damn, that was exciting!
