The point is the matched Argentina. it was not Argentina playing badly. This Cape Verde go drag England well. France is questionable.

Spain is a tournament favorite. Remind me how that match ended vs Spain

Sugarboyy:
Formidable opponent Ke.
Yeah, Cape Verde played well but if they were playing a country like France or even England do you think they will be able to dominate these countries for 3 mins the way they did to Argentina today?

Even when they drew with Spain, Spain dominated them from start to finish

Hardrive:
Naija shey una dey see. If you like be calling ndidi, Simon, Yusuf , chrisantus uche. Don't look for proper athletes . More teams would adopt this approach against us.You can see the energy the cape verde guys have.

Yusuf and Uche are good but you see Simon and Ndidi? Those 2 are dustbins

zicky:
Actually the best game I have watched in this tournament.

It definitely is.

We need beasts and runners in our midfield all those strolling no be am

Nothing beats courage in this life. With courage we have seen 5000 men hold off 40000 men. (Siege of Malta)

Courage! Courage!! Courage!!!

Super Eagles play with courage ooo.

If this World Cup no humble Naija, nothing else ever will

Next up, banku boys returning to Accra first thing in the morning either devil likes it or not

That should be the mentality of African nations in every sphere. not defeatist mentality.

Joebie:
played what rubbish? They met a formidable opponent and you are attributing it to them playing rubbish. You people should stop over respecting these white people

Why are both a mutually exclusive thing?

Argentina had almost 70% possession, forcing 8 saves. Yet we can all see the sluggishness of certain players, misplaced passes, indecisiveness.

Cape Verde sniffed it and took their opportunities.

SymphonyRad:
Did you watch the game or to comment just dey hungry you?

Sorry sir, no vex.

I go troll if my brothers do well tonight. I go must troll. make una alert the mods. I won't mind being banned. lol

Cape Verde has justified the 10slots FIFA gave Africa
These boys must be celebrated
This shows that you don't have to play in the elite leagues to make lasting impact in the WC

Playing at the WC is a totally different ball game from club football
Cape Verde gave 101%
Congratulations to Cape Verde for doing Africa proud.
You are going home with your head held high

Yusuf has the lungs of a horse.
He will cover every blade of grass for 120 minutes without getting tired.
The Nigerian Kante no dey tire joor.
See his performance at the unity cup.
Stamina choke joor.

Goke7:
Our boys go Dey fear fear, where they suppose shoot dem go Dey pass Dey do yeye tiki taka just see that second goal by Cape Verde pure guts

I swear. Nigeria cannot play Argentina like this.

Fear fear fear.

See Cape Verde second goal. See goal.

Moses Simon and Chukwueze. Kai

Argentina. Tell me one strong opponent they have played so far in this world cup

Not when we still have Simon and Ndidi starting or coming in.
Bassey, Aina, Fredrick, Nnadi, Osimhen, Adam and Lookman can hold their own against any opponents.

TheSuperNerd:
Lisandro Martinez has sacrificed his blood, sweat and all in that defence. Sweating blood and salty water vs Cape Verde. How much more when you come up against other Monsters that wait ahead.

Thank you for a spectacle Cape Verde. You leave the World Cup nearly "technically undefeated". A loss in extra time is recorded as a loss in FIFA archives. It is only when a game is deciced by Pens that a draw is recorded regardless of who advances.

The reigning World Champs needed extra time to escape the worst ranked team (#63) ever to make the K.Os since 70th ranked Russia did in 2018.

Cape Verde blessed the World Cup with Attacking and defensive Bravery on the pitch and Beauties in the stands.

You leave the mundial as true Gladiators.

it is a people problem. That's how most of us are as a collective

Cape Verde needs to work on defending set pieces and they will be more formidable!

Emiliano Martinez never fails to show that he's indeed a World Class goalkeeper. His saves today were top notch.

Unfortunately there was nothing he could do about that monster of an R2 Cape Verdian curler, but having a goalkeeper of his calibre is crucial in winning tournaments. The guy dey give me joy.

WhiteIverson:
The only way the African teams are making it past the R32 is on penalties. None have the quality to beat their respective opponents in 90 or 120 mins

Oh well
Exactly what played out

Guy give this guys their credit, playing against the number 1 rank country in the world and you are calling England. Not losing a game in 90mins after 4 games. Comon

I say we lack warrior mentality.

Small thing we don fold. I hate that thing about SE

All the 10 countries justified it considering Algeria and Tunisia qualified flawlessly.

wanted to add it is totally different from playing at the AFCON as well. we know that very well from from first experience

Their second goal may end up as the goal of the tournament except we see something better

We need a system reset from the foundation.

You wan make my point for me niyen. They haven't and that rustiness showed up. That's what we mean by rubbish and it doesn't take anything away from the spirited performance of Cape Verde.

Like you have said, it is this spirit that is fluctuating with our own team

Joebie:

A people must conceive of themselves as great to have courage.

This Cape Verde gave it their all.

Look at our match against Morocco. Only Bassey stood as a one man defence wall of Gibraltar against the onslaught of the Moroccan attack.

That's the spirit we want to see from defence to attack.

Fight fight fight. Don't give up. Go for it. Push push.

Mujtahida:

Exactly, I think that exactly what is lacking in the current SE. Can't remember any world cup game we held Argentina to a draw in 90mins.

All fairytale must come to an end. This is sadly the end of the journey for Cape Verde. This will inspire them .

rusty wetin. just making sure you no take one single thing from Cape Verde. Argentina get luck today.

Exactly. Chelle should as coach of u-23 pick players who are not only skilful but are dogged
