Extra time and still 0-0...
Should have put some sort of money on Cape Verde.
Cape Verde's keeper was singlehandedly the reason they drew in that match.
The Cape Verde keeper had 45,000 followers on Instagram prior to today's match. As of earlier this evening, he had over 2.7 million followers.
Tunisia have sacked manager Sabri Lamouchi. Move had been coming for awhile as there were issues between him and their FA in the lead up to the tournament.
Herve Renard, who will be managing his 3rd separate nation in as many World Cups (Morocco 2018, Saudi Arabia 2022), has been hired as Lamouchi's replacement.

A story like this wouldn't have been written if the field hadn't been expanded.
That's not necessarily true. Cape Verde won their group in CAF qualifying and finished directly over a side in Cameroon that likely would have been the favorite to come out of that group.
Messi with a hat trick tonight against Algeria. Has now tied Germany's Miroslav Klose for the most World Cup goals all-time.

Mbappe being only 2 behind and 12 years younger is crazy.
He could have had 4 if he wasn’t slightly offsides early in the match.

He should have only had 1 if he had been properly given a red card.
That’s true as well. He definitely got the benefit of the doubt on that call.

As a soccer official who just stepped away from the the field and who stays up to date with forums discussion like this one, the overwhelming consensus among officials was missed caution for that play. Not enough speed or force to override the location of contact. I agree with the consensus.
