AraMessi suffers greatly against Cape Verde in one of the most epic matches in World Cup historyara.catThe match between Argentina and Cape Verde will be remembered as the years go by. If the World Cups are exciting, it's because of matches like these, when logic breaks down, when anything can happen. On a humid and sticky night in Miami, modest Cape Verde came within a whisker of eliminating Argentina in a tie decided in overtime where anything and everything happened. Goals, tackles, and a player climbing into the stands. In the end, the reigning champions managed to survive after a very demanding duel against a Cape Verde team that heads home with their heads held high, having become one of the most beautiful stories of the tournament (3-2). Nobody knew them, and now everyone admires them.
