Absolutely incredible performance from Cape Verde, who found a way to stay compact and play together. Shots were blocked, challenges were both intelligent & selective, and they didn’t panic under immense pressure.

Spain weren’t necessarily bad, but were sleepy early. Perhaps there was a bit of arrogance, overlooking their opponent. A good wake up call. After all, the last WC winners lost their opener.

The Spanish papers will know this and surely not overreact…

@mlawton lol... Spanish papers are as bad as English ones for over reacting, but sure let's hope sense prevails
@robchapman on a scale of 1-10 for hyperbolic overreactions, I will be disappointed if they don't go to 11. They have a reputation to uphold as well! 😆
@mlawton I'm with you on the level of expected over reaction 🤣 you love to see it!
