I must say, that was actually pretty darn exciting, both teams giving their all.

That was awesome. That second goal for Cape Verde was so elegant.

2nd behind the Argentina v France and only because that was a Final in my opinion.

The World reaction to Cabo Verde right now

That's fair, I can't speak to that as I didn't watch that match. But this was like a heavyweight bout where both guys are just whaling on each other at the end with the overwhelming favorite barley winning on points.

Yep. That’s about how I feel, but I think Argentina vs France was better overall because it wasn’t so one sided. It was two powers going back and forth. This one with Cape Verde was cool because it was a huge underdog vs a power house that made the most of their opportunities.

Yeah but it’d actually be entertaining if there was no offside and the players could just stand by the goals

I have never seen an African team not named Morocco with the technical level that Cape Verde. What the frick. These dudes had the confidence of a library fart. Take a bow

Cape Verde didn’t just play to hang on…they were going after Argentina with possession, technical skills. I was blown away.

The Cape Verde goalie is 40 and a free agent!!!
They just went toe to toe with the reigning world champs… just a beautiful game all around. Phenomenal game

Still think it was Manchester City vs QPR for me, but this was an incredible game.

I rank it in the top. May actually take the top as I agree with him in that this game showed the world one of the greatest examples of heart and determination.
There will be a movie about this team one day that will become the Cool Runnings for a new generation.
As far as how I rank it in my greatest sports games I've witnessed, it's up there with:
(No particular order)
LSU-Bama 9-6 game
Saints NFC championship 2009
Foreman wins the title at 45.
28-3
SEC Championship 2001

It was a brilliant David vs Goliath match.

Agree, 2022 WC final was best I’ve ever seen.

Will be tough to top unless US wins a QF or better game
