Just back to Cape Verde:

They played Spain, Uruguay, Argentina and Saudi Arabia and leave the tournament unbeaten over 90 minutes.
WOW!!

Journalist: "Vozinha, we saw you approach Lionel Messi after the final whistle. What did you say to each other?"

Vozinha: "I went up to him, and before I could say much, he hugged me and said, 'You are very talented. You are a great goalkeeper. Your people should be proud of you.' Hearing words like that from someone like Leo means a great deal.

I thanked him and said, 'Thank you, Leo; you are the best.' Then I asked if we could swap shirts, and he smiled and said, 'With pleasure; I will give it to you in the tunnel.'

Must be a nightmare fornfans.following one team with all the venues so distant and.not knowing when their campaign finishes....accommodation, ticketing & airfares etc would be a major pain in the arse

Early rounds have been good getting lots of.small 2,3 and.4 leg multis up...serious stuff niw and finding winners a.little harder

France were most uninspiring today, as favourites to win geez my bet to win the world cup looked pretty shaky they were ordinary

The Le Coq's were tested today but they did it again, so tonight I'm cooking a pork and fennel sausage from Feather & Bone in Marrickville, served with a horseradish infused mash, roasted broccoli with a toasted bread crumb covering, that's finished in a parsley and olive oil reduction sauce.

For anyone that lives in Sydney, I highly recommend their quality organic produce -

You have USA beating Belgium then Spain/Portugal?

Seems unlikely but man the Americans would be unbearable if they made it that far

I think their limit is quarter finals, they might just sneak past Belgium

I do
I dont think Spain is going that well
had a small bet on pertugal at $15 but doubt they go too far.

I didnt have a dollar on usa but they will be hard to beat

I reckon Spain are one of those teams that warm into tournaments .. looked decent against Austria the other day but yeah they weren’t great in the groups

I give Mexico a real shot at giving this tournament a shake from the other side of the draw

Sometimes champion @Jedi_Tiger, you just have to fall over the line and fight another day.
You're still in the fight.
