โWe knew this would be a very tough match. In the World Cup, no one gives you anything for free. Now itโs about resting, learning from today, and focusing on the next game. Also congratulations to Cape Verde for that great performance โ
Itโs just not a fluke anymore, Cape Verde are legit. Thereโs nothing more they can do to prove it.
Simply THE story of the World Cup, regardless of how this ends.
No matter what happens to today I have to say Cape Verde has earned every ones respect
Going head to head with Uruguay, Spain and Argentina is very impressive
No matter what happens now, the fact Cabo Verde - a country with 500,000 people in their first World Cup appearance - take the world champions Argentina to extra time, is insane already.
๐๐จ๐ป WHAT A MOMENT BEFORE CAPE VERDE VS ARGENTINA!
A reporter stopped to interview who he thought was just another Cape Verde fan outside the stadium, asking about Vozinha's incredible World Cup and rise...
Seconds later, he discovered he was actually interviewing Vozinha's father. ๐
The reporter's reaction said it all. His head nearly fell off his shoulders. ๐คฏ
I donโt care what happens after this, Cape Verde has absolutely shocked the world, this is football, you cannot write anyone off, they should be proud.
Cabo Verde has made history so far in their first-ever World Cup, holding their own against three World Cup champions.
โข They drew 0-0 with Spain
โข They drew 2-2 with Uruguay
โข Theyโre now drawing 1-1 with Argentina, the reigning world champions
