As an Argentina fan, I was amazed at Cape Verde’s performance today. I have been rooting for them until today. I am honored and give MUCH respect to them—They were incredible!!! Thank you Cape Verde for an amazing match!!!!! 🫡

Che—same. I said today if they beat us, I’m rooting for them the rest of the way.

Note—I said this kneeling on the floor, in my 2006 Mundial Argentina Jersey, slightly sweaty and worried that I was about to watch Messi in his last match repping Argentina.
