They will be remembered as the most disgraceful team in the World Cup history. I’m actually speechless.

I’ve never seen a player more deserving of a red card.

And so the World Cup final will be between two teams who couldn’t beat Cape Verde in 90 minutes.

Lionel Messi on why he broke down in tears after Argentina’s victory over Egypt:

🗣️ “People saw me crying and probably thought they were tears of happiness. The truth is… they were much more than that.

When the final whistle blew, every emotion I had been carrying for years came crashing down at once. The pressure, the expectations, the fear of letting my country down it all exploded inside me. There are moments in football when your heart simply cannot hold everything anymore.

After missing the penalty, I felt like I had failed my teammates, my family, and every Argentine who believed in me. I couldn’t stop replaying that moment in my head. I kept asking myself, ‘What if that miss costs us everything?’ Those were the longest minutes I’ve ever lived on a football pitch.

My teammates never stopped believing in me. They kept telling me to lift my head, to keep fighting, and they gave everything to turn the match around. Watching them sacrifice for me made the final whistle even more emotional because I knew I wasn’t carrying this dream alone.

When I looked into the stands and saw my family crying, I completely lost control of my emotions. They have lived every criticism with me, every defeat, every sleepless night, every sacrifice that nobody sees. Those tears were for them as much as they were for Argentina.

People only see ninety minutes on the pitch. They don’t see the years of pain, the sacrifices, the injuries, the doubts, or the fear that every World Cup could be your last. At this stage of my career, you understand that every match could be the final chapter of a lifetime’s dream.

I cried because I realized how close football can bring you to losing everything you’ve worked for. One moment can change history forever. Tonight, we survived, but emotionally it felt like I had lived an entire lifetime in just one match.

These were not tears of weakness. They were tears of relief, gratitude, love for my teammates, and love for my country. I will never forget this night for as long as I live.”

Good on her for saying it because every time the US has a pants shitting embarrassing loss the first thing we get is a retired guy like Dempsey saying how proud they are and how much heart the team showed. Those dudes played like complete ass tonight and people should say so.

[Shane Ryan @ShaneRyanHere]

People will think I'm crazy for this take, but I'm a big believer in the psychological impact of narratives on teams. Yes, Belgium looked so much better tonight and we looked lost. But this team had a boatload of good vibes behind them, and in the last 48 hours that vanished, and replacing it was a story of implicit political corruption that turned them into the bad guys, or at least the beneficiary of the corruption. You can't tell me that doesn't put pressure on the team, change the vibe, and take a psychological toll that impacted what happened on the field. American fans, serious and casual, should be pissed at this interference. We overturned a red card and our reward was losing what made this team so much fun until now.

🚨 David Beckham on Cape Verde’s elimination after pushing Argentina to extra time in the FIFA World Cup:

🗣️ “This is the cruelest side of football. Cape Verde have been eliminated, but they leave this tournament with something far more important than just a scoreline—they leave with the respect of the entire football world. They took the defending world champions all the way into extra time and made Argentina fight for every single minute. Nobody expected that before kick-off.

When I think about this performance, I think about Vozinha first. His saves kept Cape Verde alive when many teams would have collapsed. Then you have Deroy Duarte and Sydney Lopes, two players who will forever be remembered in their country’s football history. They scored against Argentina, they believed when so many people doubted them, and they gave millions of Cape Verdeans a night they will never forget.

People will only remember that Argentina qualified, but those who truly understand football will remember how close Cape Verde came to creating one of the greatest upsets in World Cup history. They never hid, they never stopped running, and they never accepted that they were supposed to lose. Every challenge, every tackle, every attack showed a team playing with pride, courage, and absolute belief.

This is not a story of failure. This is a story of a nation announcing itself to the football world. Cape Verde arrived at this World Cup as outsiders, but they leave having proven they belong on the biggest stage. They stretched the world champions to their absolute limit, forced them into extra time, and made them earn every second of their qualification.

Football can be incredibly unfair. Sometimes the team that captures the hearts of everyone watching is not the team that advances. But no whistle can erase what Cape Verde have achieved. Vozinha, Deroy Duarte, Sydney Lopes, and every player wearing that shirt have inspired a generation. Argentina continue their journey, but Cape Verde leave this World Cup as heroes.”

An Argentina fan lost his wallet…

The guy who found it turned the owner's name into a chant to track him down… It worked!

Football fans are the greatest. 👏🇦🇷
