Cape Verde played very well all tournament. It is a shame that they lost. On the other hand, Messi keeps playing on.

@patoh3 What a skilled player he is, I believe he is now GOAT

For fans who haven't watched CPV's second goal, I highly suggest watching it, you will not be disappointed

Messi has been given more favorable rulings than anyone else and it's not even comparable. The fix is in.

@rockchalkjayhawk I hope he can show something but I don't see it. This next round is a sign for real progress from usmnt. The tournament would be a success if they make the quarters

BShark

@RockChalkinTexas-0 highly suspect, so was the last wc as well. He is very good too, doesn't need the extra help. Fifa is as corrupt as they come

Progress would be nice! I don’t have high expectations from here on out. A win vs the Belgium team that has had our number doesn’t seem likely, but who knows. The team seems to be on a run.

Wish Flo was available! Grr.

Of course it’s pretty easy to argue none of this WC run makes any sense at all after Poch’s oddball approach to the games running up to the World Cup. Crazy lineups, no team chemistry.

Maybe his genius plan is working and beyond my cognitive abilities. Good for him.

Two of my all time favorite players lineup with Belgium — De Bruyne and Lukaku.

I was always told when you foul someone from behind it's a red card. That's why our guy got the red card.

@wissox83 like many things in sports it doesn't always play out correctly per the rules. Paraguay should have had a ton of yellow cards yesterday

rockchalkjayhawk

I’m seeing headlines the Balogun had his red card lifted and he can play?????

Edit: it’s true!!!!!!!!!! Awesome.

Disgusting, but fitting with FIFA.

If whether FIFA was corrupt was ever in doubt.

@approxinfinity And you know who wants that trophy for himself.

England putting the whammy on Mexico. Quieted the crowd.

rockchalkjayhawk

Wow! What a game that was! Easier to root against than for arch rival Mexico, I guess.

But having more CONCACAF teams in the mix would have been a good thing.

If you didn’t catch it, watch it. Crazy.
