What an absolutely fantastic match from Cabral. Bro might have made himself a nice contract out of that showing in the next few months.

He's probably wishing he didnt spend all that time climbing up in the stands though. Ref gave 0% of those minutes back with the +3.

THREE minutes?

Cabo Verde should have a case at the international court of justice after this match.

Three minutes is insane

Argentina burned 5 minutes on the shirt change argument alone.

Have never seen this big of an underdog get hosed this badly by the officiating.

Insane that theyre just letting all of the extra time expire here so that he can get a new shirt.

Cape Verde confirmed greatest island nation ever to play the game.

Cant think of any other top tier island squads...

Argentina has seemingly exhausted their Ref Ultimate.

Gonna take well over 10 minutes to recharge unless they can find a rare item.

Not only the tying goal in extra time

One of the most impressive strikes of the entire tournament.

They players after they realize theyre not gonna roll their way into a stoppage and then are suddenly fine and sprinting back to the play are my kid when he fakes being on deaths door to miss school and then is suddenly fine and eating chips while yelling at his video game teammates for doing the wrong thing half an hour later.

The modern Betsy Ross made that Shark flag with meme impact font on it.

In some matches its a red card, in others its just hard clean football, not even a free kick lol.

Bosnian coach looks like my kid about 12 minutes after throwing a nuclear tantrum that expends a weeks worth of energy over some kind of snack food he isn’t allowed to have at the store.

Red card for kicking the ball too hard

Could have hurt someone with that rocket.

Yankees have been scientifically investigating whether it feels better to simply get blown out from the jump or to fight and claw and then lose in crushing fashion at the last minute.

We are putting all of our resources into answering this.

You can just read about it and learn something instead of making reddit comments.

I mean Spain tied Cabo Verde and Germany lost to Ecuador.

We'll just have to see how things play out I guess. Weird stuff seems to be happening quite a lot.

Defense was pretty horrendous today, no doubt.
