FIFA World Cup 2026 - discussion etc

I would never, ever have imagined that!

If this goes to penalties I’m like 90% sure Cape Verde is advancing.

Poor poor @Frodo. The horror, the horror!

If he doesn’t post right after the game we’ll need a wellness check.

2-2. What can I say?

This is a game!!!

Two hours ago I didn’t really care who was going to win, but now I want Cape Verde to preserve their unbeaten WC history for at least one more match!

If this game is a result of expanding the field for the tournament, then clearly something went right.

QFT. I’m only following this on a text ticker on kicker.de and here in this thread, but from what I gather, Cape Verde’s keeper Vozhina again is rising above himself.

He put that one “where the spiders lay their eggs.”

I’ve never heard that one, but now I can imagine how Cape Verde scored. Good expression!

Ouch.

Does Cape Verde have one more in them?

Now I wouldn’t count it out.

Certainly! These performances let us see how the world has caught up to the established “great powers”.

If it ends this way I want Argentine players to pay respects to Cape Verde, swap jerseys, etc.

They will, I’m sure.

3 of 5 goals in extra time.

By the end of this, Frodo will have a new kitten.

Ah, shame.
