Amazing video sent to us via Jack Hennessy who was in Houston last night to see Cape Verde make history and reach the World Cup Round of 32.
Jack had a tricolour with him and got it to Pico after the game. Here's what he said happened;
"I live and work in Houston. Sat front row with a tricolor. We made friends with one of the photographers there and asked him to throw our flag to Pico"
Fair play to Pico for copping the flag was the wrong way around as well😅
As Pico himself said, he's playong for two countries at this World Cup.

@Jaymufc4@Geoseph_Usher@robggill If it's just 'the Pretannic Isles' go call it that.
Even the British government refuses to use "British Isles" in official treaties with Ireland because they know it’s a politically loaded term.
@Jaymufc4@Geoseph_Usher@robggill The Greeks actually DID distinguish, calling Britain 'Albion' and Ireland 'Iouernia'.
The English phrase "British Isles" wasn't used until the 16th century to claim ownership for the crown.
You're literally using Tudor propaganda to dismiss modern Irish sovereignty.
@Jaymufc4@Geoseph_Usher@robggill Relying on AI doesn't override the diplomatic reality. Our government and our population rejects that term precisely because it's loaded with colonial baggage.
Why would you ignore the sovereignty of a nation just to keep a label that was invented to claim it?
@Jaymufc4@Geoseph_Usher@robggill If it’s just a geographical term, why does the Irish government officially refuse to use it in any state documents or treaties? It’s an outdated imperial label, not an accurate description of an independent sovereign nation.
@Jaymufc4@Geoseph_Usher@robggill Now Google British genocides and you'll see why us Irish want to distance ourselves as far away from that horrible colonial term as possible
Erling Haaland tricked a random lady into thinking he was just a regular guy by using an Southern accent while in the US for the World Cup, meanwhile a YouTube producer next to him acted like a professional football player 😭
"no not me, I'm the social media guy"
Bosnia fans’ chant for Palestine echoed through the whole stadium as Bosnia and Herzegovina booked their place in the next round of the WC.
Whatever attempts are made to silence it, solidarity with Palestine keeps finding its way into football’s biggest stages. Even in the U.S.
Delivered by C‑section from her dead mother's body. 23 years old. 'israel' bombed and killed her. Buried them under rubble. The baby girl was named after her. Doctors gave her a 50/50 chance of survival. She died 5 days later and was buried next to her mum.
