QuoteWow. Half-time and it's 0-0 between Spain and Cape Verde. Not sure people would have expected that.

Will Threviel jinx Cabo Verde?  :P

They seem to have Superman in goal. It's the most one-sided game I've ever seen.

Thankfully, you did not jinx Cabo Verde, at least this time.

That must be one of the bigger WC upsets in recent memory.  :cool:

The Cabo Verde goalie looked like he had 60 years worth of painful life experience in that face.

It bothers me that so many of the on paper good teams have such poor tempo on the ball. Even their central defenders are standing around in the opposition's half and just passing it sideways while their team mates walk slowly around to helpfully let their opponents mark them.

I can now feel a little less worse that I drew Cape Verde in my work draw. :D

Can't really decide if this is a better or worse Spanish opener than the 2014 one. Same level I guess.

Well well, lots of games to go, unfortunately Spain can fix this.
