Salute, Cape Verde. Hold your heads high. What a game!! Wow!!!
The World Cup is JULY Madness - for countries, instead of colleges. I am not much of a soccer fan, normally. But, much more of this, and I can always change my mind. ** Edited by HokieNL at 7/3/2026, 9:11:38 PM ** Edited by undefined at 7/6/2026, 8:51:50 AM

A penalty shootout would have been epic.
Man, I wish they could have gotten it there. Maybe they even win. But even if not….. The game was phenomenal no matter. Props to Cape Verde.

That game was insane.
Every time Argentina had the lead, Cape Verde fought back. They had Messi and Co. hyperventilating. What a fricking game. ::whew::

I hate soccer and never watch, except every 4 yrs, I don't miss a WC game
Weirdest thing that's perplexed me for 20 years. I have never watched a soccer match in my life ...not one .....other than the WC of which I can't turn off any game when it happens every 4 years, and I've been doing that with the WC for 20 years

How about Olympics soccer?
I don't hate soccer, but agree, I don't watch unless it’s WC or Olympics. When we lived in London we watched EPL and some other Euro soccer, but I just don't have time/patience to follow anymore. I liken it to the Olympics - I never follow track and field, skiing, volleyball etc but love watching these sports in the Olympics.

Don’t care about hype and costumes. Boring is still boring.

I am pretty close to you except for one thing ...
I turn the WC on for 10 minutes and have had enough. I just find Soccer boring on TV like baseball. I will once in a while watch a whole baseball world series game.

World Cup gets me interested during the dog days of summer once every 4
Years.Great passion and knockout rounds are great drama if the score is tied or 1 goal difference
