Ronaldo's World Cup Exit and Argentina's Next Test | Spokane News

Spain stunned Portugal in a last-minute thriller, sending Ronaldo’s World Cup dreams crashing down with a quiet, emotional exit. The only goal came in stoppage time, a slick finish from Mikel Merino after Portugal slept through a free-kick.

Meanwhile, Argentina barely survived Cape Verde in extra time, thanks to a late goal from Diney Borges, and now face Egypt in a high-stakes round of 16 clash. Messi, still leading the scoring race with Mbappe, will battle Egypt’s Mohamed Salah — a team that stunned Australia in a penalty shootout. The tournament’s momentum shifts as Spain celebrates, Argentina regroups, and Egypt steps up to challenge. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
