Same way kind of France do that with Mbappe, England with Kane to an extent.

And when that doesn't work and they come against a really stubborn defense, they do kind of struggle.

I don't really see that kind of big target man on the bench.

You know, the plan B is kind of do plan A better.

And they found a way.

We've said that about other teams in this knockout round so far.

England as well.

There's, you know, Belgium kind of struggled their way through.

Netherlands went out.

It's not been easy, I think, for any of the major nations.

Germany went out as well.

I think no one apart from maybe Spain have really had it kind of convincing the US to an extent as well.

But it's been a tough knockout round.

Which is even more credit, right?

I mean, this is a genuine team now that they made the AFCON quarterfinals a few years ago.

And building on success, I think no one at a future tournament, should they qualify, will ever underestimate Cape Verde again.

It's been a whole tournament like that, I think, of big teams struggling, even early on in early group stage games, that teams dropped points where they either shouldn't have or they thought, we can get a walk over here and just didn't.

I think so.

I mean, this is also a vindication of saying I think African football is finally given the number of spots it deserves.

Previously, we had five African spots and that was done on a knockout basis, right?
