It's been an incredible match. Cape Verde surprised us the first day when they drew against Spain. They kept the same pace with Saudi Arabia and Uruguay, qualifying second in their group. Argentinian were really happy to play against them in the last 32 round. Then, they were praying to score before the end of the extra time. Messi scored the initial goal and Argentinian thought that the job was done, but in the second half Cape Verde equalized it and the South American were unable to score again, even though Messi had a couple of free kicks where he likes.

In the extra time, Argentina took the lead again in a corner kick which they thought it would be it. Then, Lopes Cabral scored an amazing goal from the left corner of the box to equalize it again. Have we seen the best goal in the tournament yet?

In the second half of the extra time, again Messi took the responsibility of taking a corner kick and in the mess, in the middle of the box, a Cape Verdean defender sent it to the net. Congrats to Argentina to go through.

Before this incredible match, we watched one of the worst matches till now. It's a clear Boring Kickball game. Australia and Egypt drew 1-1 after 120 minutes of play and went straight to the penalty shoot out.
Salah , the best player in the pitch, scored his penalty with a Panenka's style throw.

Finally , Colombia performed another solid match , winning their match 1-0 and going to the next round. They are in Argentina's way to the semifinals.

We move, tonight, to the Laast 16 round. In the first match, Canada will face Morocco. I know that some our Stackers are still believing in Canada , though I think that it would be a huge surprise that you could eliminate Morocco.

Then, later on, France, still the favorite, will play against Paraguay. It might be a very tough match though France should pass without problems.

Good luck to everyone!!

Hopefully Argentina shares get cheaper on Predyx after that performance. I am heavy on France and Spain but light on Argentina.

Let’s all enjoy Canada’s greatest soccer victory today.

Same.

Spain hasn't impressed either. France ftw!

Perfect read and boring Kickball got a point, if I wasn't so impressed with Colombia effort and continually shoot opportunities created by open play, BG would've won the day.

Let's now all join hands in prayer for the paraguai fortress to resist the evil france, and send croissant home, we all want to see them leave, come on

To be honest it would be great , though I see difficult two major upsets in a row!

What's my reasonable reading so it can flourish

10 man inside the box, a lot of "tactical" south American beating, harassing, nasty elbows and somehow dead ball goal for the hermanos

That was a great finish. My daughter joined me for the last few minutes too and was very excited by everything.

Yep! That is the WC spirit!
