I've pretty much settled on Egypt, Argentina, and Colombia to win. I think the other two matches could still go either way, but Argentina is the one I feel most confident about. The only thing I'm still debating isn't whether they'll win, it's by how many.

Argentina have looked better with every game. Messi missed one match and is still tied with Mbappé for the Golden Boot. I don't think they'll start playing conservatively if they go one goal up. A big win would give them even more confidence heading into the knockout stage, so I expect them to keep attacking if the game opens up. I wouldn't be surprised if it ends 3-0 or even 4-0.

But Cape Verde is what makes me hesitate. They showed against Spain and Uruguay that they're well organized defensively, and they aren't completely harmless going forward either. I keep wondering whether they can find one goal because if they do, the whole game could look very different.

On the other hand, it's hard for me to believe they'll create many clear chances against Argentina's defense and Emiliano Martínez. A low block can slow the game down, but can they really survive 90 minutes of pressure from Argentina?

That's why I'm still going back and forth between predicting 2-0, 3-0, or even 4-0.

I also looked at the AI predictions on SportEval, and most of the models were predicting either 2-0 or 3-0. That actually lines up pretty closely with what I was already thinking.

What score are you predicting? Does anyone actually think Cape Verde gets on the scoresheet, or do you see this ending with a clean sheet for Argentina?

been looking for a laser rangefinder lately, just something simple that can give me distances on course and maybe help a bit around the greens. saw this one and the price feels kinda high for my budget so not sure if it’s actually worth it or just paying for extra features i won’t really use.
