Welcome to the Total Soccer Show presented by Netflix. This is World Cup Daily. Now, I'll try not to make this intro too wordy, but it's hard to describe the magnificence of Cape Verde. The Blue Sharks and their goalkeeper star gave us the game of the tournament so far.

The African side put in an incredible shift, and on Friday, they were a bigger story than Taylor Swift.

It wasn't quite as fun and enthralling, but Egypt also achieved their round of 16 calling,

and Columbia are through to the last 16 after ending the Ghanaian dream. My name's Ryan Bailey. Join me today. We've got a July 4th power trio. Joe Lowry is one of those corners. Hi, Joe. Boom. I'm just imagining fireworks. That's all I've been thinking about all day long. I mean, that game yesterday, absolute firework from start to finish. That is truly one of the best soccer games I've ever seen in my entire life.

I cannot fathom a better way to have spent about three hours yesterday.

It was an absolute dream.

Unbelievable stuff.

Absolutely unbelievable.

Yep.

Hard agree, Joe.

My barometer for that is my wife who has no interest in soccer, watched the entire thing.

And we were cheering and gophering

at the chances as that game went through. It was absolutely brilliant. I think by the first

period of extra time, my wife was we with Kate Verde. So that's sort of how we evolved throughout

the day. It was honestly just a 10 out of 10 experience. We are all Kate Verde. Indeed. Indeed.

Graham, Mother, hello. How are you? I'm good, Ryan Bailey. I didn't quite have the same communal experience watching Argentina, Cape Verde, saying it was like 3 a.m. here, although I was fearful that I'd woken my sleeping family up with. The noise I made when Sydney Carbiles go hit the top corner. Has to be goal of the tournament. It has been moment moment of the tournament. And I agree this was game of the tournament so far. Yeah. I'm reaching an age where I get slightly emotional at these kind of moments. And I must admit, I was welling up a little bit at how amazing that was. I just couldn't believe it. I was like, there's going to be a VR check. There's going to be a VR check. They're going to find like the goalkeepers being breathed on or something like that. I was completely incredulous. And Ali McCoyst on the British broadcast as well, he was saying, like, I'm just buzzing at that goal. I'm just absolutely buzzing at that goal. He's, I love Allie because You're not getting much sort of analysis out of him,

but he clearly just loves it. He loves being at these events, and I enjoyed, I wasn't even at that

event, but I enjoyed it immensely on the TV. I now understand why Taylor Swift had her wedding

at Mads and Square Garden, Ryan, so they could put on a big screen. And great planning from a Jerry planning. Jerry World wasn't available, but if it had been, they would have done that. Bigger screen, bigger fun? Better way? Baxter fun. Nailed it. All of the special guests, Blake Lively and the Hymes sisters insisted on having Cape Verde on the big screen at the... Carly Claus in her Vrazina shirt.

It all makes sense now.

Does indeed.

Excellent stuff.
