Video Transcript
Check this out, the stats for a moment, because these were crazy, my friends.
Take a look at this.
The shots on goal, 23 shots on goal for Spain, and only six on Cape Verde, my friends.
And at the very last minute, around the minute 90, they had the chance to go and finish the work and surprise the world, beating Spain, one of the favorites for the title, but that was not enough, and now we have one of the most impressive ties of the World Cup.
But that was not all, my friends, because let's take a look at this other game that happened, that it was just as impressive.
Belgium tied with Egypt, 1-1.
We saw Lukaku come into the game and create a winning, a scoring goal immediately.
No, I think they were, like, seven or 10 seconds into the field when he came in and created this opportunity.
He claimed the goal as his, but the reality was that it was an own goal.
But it wasn't, you know, a difference maker for him because he was still claiming that, you know, positive attack, and it was great.
Egypt on their end, Mohamed Salah giving an assist on his birthday.
The first player ever to create a scoring chance in his birthday during the World Cup, Mohamed Salah.
but that was not enough to give them the victory.
Now let's take a look.
What else do we have going on here?
Oh, this one was, one of my favorites.
Arabia Saudita casi la repite, queridos amigos.
That's right, perritos.
They were up to no good.
They were about to beat Uruguay in the first game of the World Cup, just like they did con nosotros sudamericanos, con Argentina four years ago.
But Uruguay sac la garra cachuda.
That's right, la garra estuvo presente, my friends, and they were able to get that tie back.
They were close to win the game, but at the end it was not enough, and we got another tie.
And finally, for the last game of the day, Irn contra Nueva Zelanda, el equipo de Tim Payne.
No pain, no gain.
That's right, Tim Payne was able to show the world that he has aura to give away, my friends.
He started a little, you know, a little slow, a little shifty, but at the end, he had really, really good intervention during the game.
New Zealand tied with Iran 2-0.
This was a back and forth game.
It was amazing to see not only the emotions running at SoFi Stadium, Los Angeles Stadium, because we cannot use brands.
Los Angeles Stadium was completely Persian that day, my friends.
It was incredible to see the environment, to see the Persian community of Los Angeles having the opportunity to celebrate their team and their country that is facing one of the most unjust World Cups that I can remember.
As you know, Iran has to travel after each game from Los Angeles to Tijuana because they're not allowed to stay overnight in the United States.
They have a very specific permit for them to just come into the country for the games and exit immediately.
That's why they're stationed in Tijuana.
Pero los mexicanos los estn recibiendo con los brazos abiertos.
As we know, the Mexican people know what a World Cup is all about.
But I gotta say, the American fans also welcome them with open arms right here, because it is unfair that they have to do this crazy commute for all of their games.
