Postecoglou on Cape Verde’s success
The former Tottneham boss said on ITV: “It’s just a great story for what the World Cup is all about. We often talk about how football touches every part of the globe and this is what it can do. Get on the main stage and they finished second in their group.
“I think they’d love to play Argentina, it just adds to their story. Playing against the reigning champions. What a great story it’s been.”

Marcelo Bielsa has failed to progress from the group stage in two of his three World Cup campaigns: with Argentina in 2002 and Uruguay in 2026.
His only successful group-stage campaign came with Chile in 2010.

Cape Verde to take on champions
Cape Verde’s reward for finishing second and making it out of Group H is a match against the reigning world champions Argentina.
That clash will take place in Miami where Leo Messi plays his club football.
What a game for the Cape Verde players to have as their first ever knockout match. They couldn’t beat the world champions could they?
