Argentina-Cabo Verde

Post by Mort Gage »

That game was ridiculous. Three goals in the 30 minute OT, and almost a fourth? Cabo Verde looked like one of the top ten, maybe eight best teams in that game. Their tiny island nation pushed the defending champs to the brink. It's a shame they are out, they were a joy to watch. Best game so far.

They are a fun team to watch, and the goalie is top 3 ( the Australian goalie made what could be the best save so far yesterday).

The Paraguayan goalie was phenomenal against Germany, too. If you get Telemundo I recommend their coverage. Much more animated, and I get to brush up on my intermediate level Spanish.

Ever hear of “The Night of Seville”?

1982 World Cup Semi-Final.

West Germany and France.

FOUR goals in a 30 minute overtime!

I didn't remember that one. I thought three were a lot. Wow

It was a great game indeed. That goal between two sets of legs was incredible. Cape Verde belonged exactly where they got to, and could very will have gone further.

Had to leave the get-together we were at watching, for a five hour drive after. Got in late - but it was worth it.
