    Definitely. Everyone, but Spain is cannon fodder.

    I have to admit Cape Verde has had a remarkable Stage Group effort for what they actually were suppose to put forth. That being said, I see them easily going out in the Round of 32.

    That could be a blowout. A Messi Hat Trick.

    Uruguay x Spain might be the worst match of the group stage so far(?).

    Just 1 (weak) shot on goal combined.

    Games not living up to the hype that is for sure.

    I will blame it partially on the altitude.

    Cabo Verde becomes the smallest nation ever to advance to knockouts.

    This is turning into a hell of a World Cup for Africa. At this pace, only Tunisia won't make the knockouts.

    Cape Verde advancing is like the smallest 16 seed you can think of making it to the next round in March Madness!!!

    It is not that crazy. They have played well in Africa and beaten good teams in their region.
    It is more like a team from the Big 12 that is not a traditional contender advancing. Something like TCU.

    this dumbass is the reason why Uruguay lost , what a horrible attempt to save that shot , he shouldn't have started the game after the embarrassing performances in the previous 2 games

    The altitude of Zapopan is not high enough to be relevant, no? The game was cagey just as it was expected to be. Was never going to be a high scoring one.

    Yeah, whoever is next to Bielsa will have to fix that hole pronto. Their striker position as well given how poor it turned once Darwin retired early.

    It is a factor. Not as high as El Azteca but still high. Ask any athletes playing sports in Denver if it takes a toll by the end of a match. (Denver is around the same altitude. )
