🎤 Whisper Transcript (en) ⏱ 61s

"If we're looking for moments, if we're thinking of a moment for Irish people, it's going to be Roberto López-Capeverde against Lina Messi in Argentina. That's the game I'm going to tomorrow. I'm in Miami at the moment. From a point of view of the actual game, I do think Cape Verde have shown they're going to have the capability to be able to frustrate Argentina. They might not have enough to win the game, and ultimately I think maybe Argentina's quality will be too much. But, like, if you're a Cape Verde player, you're going into this feeling, well, you've got better as the tournament has gone on, you're a bit more comfortable. They're still nervous, they're still nervous in games and still mumbling in games, but even the players seem to grow into every game as well. So provided they don't give away an early goal, provided they can't frustrate, I think it's shaping up to be an awkward night for Argentina. And it's also a stadium where Cape Verde have scored their two goals in the World Cup."
