It's funny - Canada's game was on the Fourth of July while the United States played on Canada Day!
Argentina squeezed past Cape Verde in overtime yesterday. I've heard some people say that was the best World Cup match they'd ever seen. It has to be high up on the list of greatest World Cup games. Cape Verde delivered some extremely composed and disciplined performances against the sport's heavyweights.
On the other hand, Paraguay retreated into their Koopa shell against France. Going into all-out defend mode isn't a rare strategy for a team with fewer resources facing a knockout game against a team of stars, but Paraguay decided to focus on kicking Mbappé and other French players. The highly questionable officiating - not to mention the sizzling temperatures - didn't help things. I'm glad France won that one.
