CV needs toforce Arg to work. Keep passing the ball around and let them run. They are gassed.....even motre so than CV....run them rugged rather than riush into shots.

Best team Arg has faced....and thats saying something....or at least, , best effort from an opponent they have faced.
Arg days are numbered.

A country with a 500k population took the mighty Argentina to the brink of defeat… Great game by Cape Verde.

Alot of young faces o Cabo team.
But they have the 4th oldes5 team here....older on average than even Argentina.

Egypt has to fancy their chances for next match.
Withstand Arg early aggression and press defense.
Play smart, make them run, and capitalize. First team they will face with a great striker.....old as he may be....maybe just maybe.

Argentina dodged the bullet here. But great teams always find a way to win in the end.
I’m curious to hear what the coach of Cape Verde will say at the Press briefing. I’m sure he’s gonna be magnanimous in defeat. They have been so humble and proud all tournament

@Ayenmol
Completely agree with your assessment… everybody is talking about this team. Argentina won, but nobody’s talking about Argentina. It’s all about this team and what they have done to this World Cup! They are the team of the tournament so far hands-down. I am a South American by heart but if it did go the other way. I don’t think I would’ve minded too much. Besides my team is still alive. Brazil!!!

Argentina, in fact, no great team should need to find a way to win against Cabo Verde.
That team is as run of the mill as they come.
Argentina has many weaknesses that will be exposed against good teams with skill and esppeciqlly speed and accuracy.
The one good shot on goal by Cabo V went in....the next was the free kick but it was not far from the goalie and he got to it....France is going to give you six or seven shots like that easy.
