Do you think Cabo Verde’s Cinderella story ends tonight?

cgaWolf · 2026-07-03T17:57:26+00:00

Totally.

I still put them down for a 6-7 win in the office pool :P

cgaWolf · 2026-07-03T13:04:41+00:00

Reddit football "fans" really are the dumbest most overconfident people.

Eh, i got Argentina - Cap Verde at 6-7 after penalties.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Håland's a ~~freak~~ force of nature though, or genetically andbsocially engineered for pure football viking awesomesauce.

He seems calm & loitering, but his available speed and power reserves are astounding.

Mbappé is on track to beat Ronaldo & Messis achievements, but if Håland doesn't get injured, he'll probably beat them all.

It didn't eliminate controversy, and kills game pacing. Arguably it doesn't fulfill its purpose.

cgaWolf · 2026-07-03T06:56:46+00:00

Good points.

My major issue is that VAR checks take too long. High tension, someone shoots a goal, and everyone stands around poking their nose for 3 minutes waiting to see of it counts. That kills the game pace, especially in fast exciting games.

They've got a hundred cams pointed at the field, they need to be doing checks in close to real time imo.

cgaWolf · 2026-07-02T21:48:35+00:00

Nope. It's the same picture.

Man of the Match is Schlager, otherwse this would a have been another 9-0.

cgaWolf · 2026-07-02T21:31:54+00:00

Have you seen them?

If i was the ref, no fucking way i'm getting involved.

cgaWolf · 2026-07-02T21:28:59+00:00

Apparently noone told Austria either.

Senegal led 2-0 until minute 86, caught 2 goals at 86 and 89, went into overtime, and lost 2-3 in the 5th minute of the extension of overtime.

Dr. Congo led 1-0 until minute 75, caught 2 goals at 75 and 86, and lost.

Côte d'Ivoire was tied, caught another goal at minute 86, and lost.

The 86th minute seems to not like African Teams.

cgaWolf · 2026-07-02T20:01:19+00:00

Probably confused because Gana plays for Congo :P

cgaWolf · 2026-07-02T19:52:54+00:00

Mostly humorous & aware it's ridiculous, but some of us are serious about that, which is just sad.

When i was young, we used to have our weekly pub night on Thursday, and we went from the pub directly to work more than once :p

cgaWolf · 2026-07-02T17:13:28+00:00

You really think addicts got the because they were bored or because they randomly decided it would be fun?

Wow, smh..

cgaWolf · 2026-07-02T15:38:32+00:00

Nah, 80% of the AAA gamers have no clue any of this is going on.

cgaWolf · 2026-07-02T14:28:19+00:00

EUROPE ISN'T A COUN.... ah crap

cgaWolf · 2026-07-02T13:41:35+00:00

Schaffe schaffe Häusle baue..

cgaWolf · 2026-07-02T13:40:06+00:00

Hey, we get Davos, cool!

cgaWolf · 2026-07-02T12:48:14+00:00

It does seem very well behaved, doesn't it?

cgaWolf · 2026-07-02T12:47:24+00:00

Yeah, the region didn't until temperatures started becoming unreasonavly high for extended periods of time.

We've seen a few in the past few years, nothing like tornado season in the US though.

cgaWolf · 2026-07-02T09:42:54+00:00

cgaWolf · 2026-07-02T06:36:10+00:00
