World Cup Daily for 04 July follows four major tournament debates: Cape Verde pushing Argentina to the edge, Egypt's penalty advance over Australia, a USMNT ratings surge in the United States, and Ecuador's complaint against Mexico.

1. Cape Verde Pushes Argentina

Cape Verde pushed Argentina to a 3-2 escape and left fans debating whether the smallest team in the field was the emotional winner of the night. Much of the thread centered on Sidny Lopes Cabral, Vozinha, and the feeling that Cape Verde changed its global reputation in one match.
