I haven’t seen the United States pressure Paraguay like this since James Buchanan sent 19 ships to Asunción in 1859 following the Water Witch incident, to collect a $10,000 indemnity. #usmnt #WorldCup #CoupeMondiale #CoupeDuMonde #soccer #football #fifa #FIFAWorldCup #America #sports #Mexico #canada

I haven’t seen an Ivorian make a last-ditch attempt this powerful since Didier Drogba helped end the country’s civil war with an improvised televised speech after Les Éléphants qualified for the 2006 World Cup #usmnt #WorldCup #CoupeMondiale #CoupeDuMonde #soccer #football #fifa #FIFAWorldCup #America #sports #Mexico #canada

I haven’t seen Spain lose nominal control of Cape Verde like this since Portugal and England routed the army of Don Juan José de Austria at Estremoz in 1663, effectively ending the Iberian Union. #usmnt #WorldCup #CoupeMondiale #CoupeDuMonde #soccer #football #fifa #FIFAWorldCup #America #sports #Mexico #canada #MastodonFC

I haven’t seen Iran get such a hard-fought draw since it saved face by decimating the Iraq-backed MEK in August 1988, despite UN Resolution 598 for a ceasefire having already been accepted by both parties and having initially been cast as a “win” for Iraq. #usmnt #WorldCup #CoupeMondiale #CoupeDuMonde #soccer #football #fifa #FIFAWorldCup #America #sports #Mexico #canada #MastodonFC

I haven’t seen a 1-2 punch from #Argentina in the United States like this since the Batallón de Inteligencia 601 worked with the CIA to train the Contras and then used US sponsorship to supply the counterinsurgency in Guatemala during the latter’s civil war #usmnt #WorldCup #CoupeMondiale #CoupeDuMonde #soccer #football #fifa #FIFAWorldCup #America #sports #Mexico #canada #MastodonFC

I haven’t seen an #Argentina hat trick like this since the Phrygian cap was included in the official coat of arms of the Argentine Republic in 1944, though it had appeared in preliminary designs as early as 1813. #usmnt #WorldCup #CoupeMondiale #CoupeDuMonde #soccer #football #fifa #FIFAWorldCup #America #sports #Mexico #canada #MastodonFC
