I was thinking 5 minutes ago "Cape Verde has not been making this game easy for Argentina..." and then they went and proved my thought right.

I just hope that this is finally what gives soccer momentum in this country. While the MLS doesn’t have some of the name brand stars that the EPL has, it has great competitive games. For those of us that don’t get baseball, it would be the perfect summer sports fix. Big question is how the schedule shift starting next year will affect its popularity when competing more with football.

Cape verde making it interesting. Pretty incredible run so far for them in this tournment. Also, what a save by Vozinha!

Vozinha balls of steel.

I know he’s up there in age, but there’s got to be somebody in MLS that could use Vozinha. He’s better than Portuguese Segunda.

I agr we. I love football but one thing soccer has is game length. Football games are too damned long.

How many goalies have stopped two free kicks in the same half like that?

And one of those from Messi

And one of those from Messi

Kinda my point. Messi usually humiliates goalies at that range.

 

[isufbcurt]

Argentina needs to pull their head out of their ass and win this

And one of those from Messi
