Cape Verde centre back Roberto 'Pico' Lopes has spent his entire career in Ireland, ignored a LinkedIn message from Cape Verde FA asking him to play for them because it was in Portuguese. A year later, they sent it in English. He accepted. An all-time great World Cup story.
The Portuguese claimed to have discovered the uninhabited islands of Cape Verde in the 15th century and later brought enslaved Africans from the West African mainland to populate and work on the islands.
Cape Verde has some of the most beautiful people in Africa. The whole world is seeing them at the World Cup in the USA
Cape Verde, you have definitely caught the world’s attention 🇨🇻💙
