A good introduction to the Knockout rounds. But what would you have them do? Concede against the Saudis to avoid it... and bow out of the competition? Lol

It’s better for them to make history by facing Argentina

Truidstarr:
Wetin this one dey talk? Ivory coast to defeat Norway ke?

At knock out stage anything can happen . After all Cape Verde held Spain ,and Ecuador defeated Germany

FiFA should dead the talk of 64 nations WC. Yes they will make more money but it will lose its appeal.

This Saudi vs Cape ,if Saudi win they qualify

It will be good for Cape Verde to win ,so that there will be no third best team from that group . This will give Senegal huge chance

The Cape Verde team cannot take chances

Walahi, NPFL game sef better than the Saudi Cabo Verde game. A win will take Saudi to the 2nd round, yet not one single after 60 mins from them.

Good. So if they perish, they perish... If they shock the Argentines too, so be it! 🤝🏿

Cape Verde players playing selfish football

They just don't have the quality. Argentina would beat them like no business if they make it.

Ferran Torres is such a useless forward.

3rd game in a row at this WC, he is missing a really really great chance.

Saudi almost got a late goal too after Cabo Verde wasted lots of chances.

Cape Verde through to the next round, Uruguay are out

Ofcos Uruguay wont exit without a red card. I would be frustrated too playing against this Spanish side with elimination staring me in the face. Lol

Spain no gree allow Uruguay touch ball enough. 😂😂

Cabo Verde through to round of 32. Horrible game I endured watching but they make it through. The result might also help Senegal in their wait.

This WC has surprisingly been good for African teams, except for the Tunisians

TheSuperNerd:
Omo, but if Spain beats Uruguay today.... CV's draw vs Saudi will be enough to see them go second and meet Argentina 😂😂

Omo Uruguay is in trouble. They have to fight real hard.

Exactly this scenario has played out @emboldened. Congrats Cape Verde. Go Home Uruguay😂😂

I knew Spain was either winning this or drawing with less stress.

Remarkably, Cape Verde are the 4th African WC debutants to advance to the knockout rounds, following Nigeria in 1994, Senegal in 2002, and Ghana in 2006 🥂

In their situation, I wouldn't really blame them. Imagine a group containing Spain and Uruguay, getting those results would boost their FIFA ranking

You mean 4th then. Lol

Uruguay should have had a pen in the 90th minute.

Noted

Vozinha vs Messi.... 😂😂😂

Media don dey fuel the potential duel. The Only GK to truly face multiple shots from Messi and successfully stop him in a World Cup match is Vincent Enyeama (2010 battle). In 2014, Messi got past Enyeama.

Vincent = V

Another V faces Messi... Vozinha

Hmmmm.... It will be a bloodbath or a Saves festival.

Time will tell.... ⏳️

From World Cup debutants to the knockout stage. Cape Verde have already written history. What an achievement Even without winning a single game.

Will Egypt help a fellow African country or a fellow Arab country? I won't be shocked if Iran defeats Egypt but if Egypt beats or draws Iran, then Senegal go through.

WhiteIverson:
Let's bet
Croatia have finished 2nd and 3rd in the last world cups. Do you think they will allow Ghana stop their chances of going further?

FT Croatia 3-0 Ghana

The bet is on…
Just be honorable enough when the deed is done…

Egypt scores, Senegal might still qualify

Mahmoud Saber of ZED FC in the Egyptian league... playing his first WC match scores for Egypt. That's a sweet story to tell.

Penalty to Iran.....saved by the goalkeeper

Penalty to Iran.

The Egypt DF, Abdelmonem really messed that up but Shobeir saves his blushes by stopping the Taremi Penalty.

Shobeir also stopped one of our PKs in the Afcon thirdplace while Nwabali stopped 2.

Iran has finally equalised. This battle of the Arabs is already lit! 1-1
