GGs Argentina.

If we play this dreadfully against an actual NT we are done

 

[Nierre]

what a terrible ******* performance, if this is how theyre planning on playing next game they might as well quit while they're ahead

shoutout cv for their tenacity

 

[Fwkiyo]

In all seriousness, what a great showing from Cabo Verde in their first WC. Nothing but much respect for them

CV can be proud of themselves for making this far, ngl. Hope they got qualified for the next WC again. But, Idk about their GK considering he's like 40.

no puedo ver memes argentinos de los simpsons sin pensar en esos otros...

 

[Recon1511]

De esos no se hablan

It's not even as if Argentina played differently than what they were doing throughout the tournament (which is the bigger issue)
Any other keeper (Zidane lmao) and this would be 3-0 in 60 minutes
Austria is the only other team to test them defensively and they failed to take advantage

Massive respect for Cape Verde though
Finished the campaign without losing in 90 minutes despite facing Spain, Uruguay and Argentina

So now it turns out that scoring fewer goals than your opponent means losing. Losing is being dominated; not winning isn't losing. Cabo Verde simply had bad luck, Argentina didn't win, nobody sees Argentina as the winner, people just respect Cabo Verde more after this match.

wtf I missed the goal from Arias

How it'd take this long for a World Cup thread to be created-
