A country of 525,000 people just took the World Cup champions to extra time... and nearly pulled off the biggest shock in the tournament's history.

In this one I break down Argentina 3–2 Cape Verde, a game that had the whole world rooting for the Blue Sharks (that curler might be goal of the tournament). We get into who Cape Verde actually is... the islands, the diaspora, the heritage, and why a team built from all over the world matters so much. Then it's on to today's two big games... Morocco vs Canada and Paraguay vs France... with my honest predictions (yeah, I'm rooting for Paraguay, don't judge me).

Plus the big question I had with Fonzi... if the US and Canada go deep, what does that really do for the sport over here? Messi records, wild facts, real takes. Come argue with me. Join the newsletter and be part of the show at thefootball.show.

The USA just did something they haven't done since 1930... back-to-back World Cup wins on home soil, and their first win over a European team in 24 years.

Today we breakdown why this USA team finally has an identity (and why he's becoming a fan). Then... Belgium's heart-attack comeback against Senegal, and why it might've been lucky.

Spain hasn't conceded a single goal all tournament... are the silent killers the real deal?

Plus the coaching bloodbath (seven gone already, one fired after a single game), the Azteca altitude edge nobody's talking about, and a Maradona prediction from 2018 that's going viral for being way too accurate.

Bold takes, real stories, no corporate filler.

The Round of 32 just turned into a horror movie for the big names. Germany and the Netherlands both went home on the same night... both on penalties.

We break down the VAR call that wiped out Germany's winner (foul or robbery?), Paraguay keeper Orlando Gil turning into a wall, and Morocco's last-minute header over Van Dijk that proves they're nobody's dark horse.

Then we get into "Dictator Mbappé," the meme taking over the internet... and why every meme has a little truth in it. And the one everyone's arguing about: Ecuador's coach says a 3.5-hour flight became 9 hours right before facing host Mexico at the Azteca. Mind games or sabotage?

Plus a prediction for tonight that did not age quietly.
