Any of you guys watching the Argentina vs Cape Verde game? The underdog rising story is real! I would really like to see them pull it off and get through to the next round.
I didn't see the game but heard it was really close.
it was beautiful to watch. Messi's goal was pure wonder... and Den was of course happy to bag 5 points on that one #1519343
Are you going to watch Canada today?
Yes, I'm on standby to switch on the stream. My kids are hogging the TV now, but we have an agreement that dad gets the TV when Canada plays.
What are the kiddos watching?
Just YouTube videos they're interested in. Right now, Mario 3D Land speed run. But it's my turn now.
Did they see the Mario Galaxy movie?
We haven't seen it yet.
yes, that was the plan. Got distracted

Just like a quarter millennia ago, Canada doing fuck all today.
According to espn analytics and the Portland Trail Blazers stat nerds Canada is winning this game.
Expected goals are better than goals right?

It was not suppose to be this close. The defending champs versus a small island nation with a population of about 500k people. But Cape Verde remained undefeated in regulation and took the champs to extra time. When they got scored on in extra time, they were able to equalize with an amazing goal by Cabral. It was not until the second half of extra time, with 9 minutes left before heading into penalty kicks, that Argentina finally got the goal that will seal their victory. Hats off to Cape Verde for being competitive, for holding their own, and for pushing the defending champs to the brink. I know you missed the game, but at least go catch the highlights on this one. It's a really good one. Man, I love a good underdog story!
They had at least one more great shot on goal too that would have tied it back up.
Also, Cabral running into the stands after his goal to hug his wife (or whoever it was) was super endearing.
You know the players names now?
What has happened to you? haha
And on America’s birthday.
He is a big futbol fan now. Got his heart captured by a country no one ever heard of and nobody knew where it located.
I still don't know where it is and am not interested in finding out
Fun fact, the islands of Cape Verde were formed by under water volcanic activity. So you could say the people of Cape Verde were forged by fire. The resilience is real.
500k people there. It’s impressive they played with the world’s best and almost pulled it off.
I had no idea what his name was but it was in @gnilma's comment.
Yes, the free kick at the 119th minute. The ball was going to sneak in from just under the crossbar, but it got saved by Martinez. I guess that's the type of stuff you get from last world cup's golden glove winner.
The ref didn't look too pleased after Cabral ran into the stands. He did score arguably the goal of the tournament though, so he deserves some slack for delaying the game.
Hell yeah! Even I can't deny how good this is.
Now you understand the magic of the beautiful game!
Don't get carried away. It still needs to be fixed.
Mets suck again as well. Watching clips of Soto DOGGING it
Has it been too long since one of your teams won a championship?
I know I can’t get greedy. I still can’t believe the Knicks did it
At least I know the robots will kill @chrisliss first. I might be high on the list but I know he is the Robot's most wanted.
