Si Arabia le gana a Cabo Verde clasifica.
Si Uruguay le gana a España, y Cabo Verde le gana a Arabia, los españoles quedan terceros. Cabo Verde puede terminar primera.
Si España le gana a Uruguay y Cabo Verde rasca un empate, afuera los uruguayos.

Todo puede pasar. Increíble.

Cabo Verde make history! 🇨🇻

They’ve scored their first-ever @FIFAWorldCup goal 👏

Cape Verde went to war with Spain and Uruguay in their first World Cup nobody will ever forget that

[ESPN FC @ESPNFC]

"What I love about watching this team, particularly today, is every single thing they do is at full belt."

Steve Nicol is impressed with Cape Verde's play 👏

[Kara @UTDKarra]

I can boldly tell you that among all these African countries:

• Senegal
• Ivory Coast
• Tunisia
• Morocco
• Egypt
• South Africa
• Algeria
• DR Congo
• Ghana

Cape Verde are the first African nation I’ve seen play without fear. Their ball possession, quality and accurate passing are unbelievable.

Imagine drawing against Spain and Uruguay something many African nations wouldn’t do in their first World Cup appearance.

They fear nobody. They will beat Saudi Arabia and nothing will stop them.

IMAGINE SCORING YOUR COUNTRY'S FIRST-EVER WORLD CUP GOAL 🔥

What a moment for Kevin Pina and Cape Verde 🙌

🚨 Thierry Henry on Cape Verde making it 2-2 against Uruguay:

🗣️ “I can't believe what I'm watching. These are the moments that make the FIFA World Cup the greatest tournament in football.

People can debate formats or say it's only a seven-game competition, but just look at the emotion from the Cape Verde players and supporters. That tells you everything you need to know about what this tournament means. These are moments that will be remembered forever.

I honestly thought they were finished after going behind, but they refused to give up. They found another gear, showed incredible belief, and dragged themselves right back into the match. That's the mentality you need on the biggest stage.

Uruguay looked stunned after that equaliser. Cape Verde have made them uncomfortable, they've silenced them, and now they've turned this into a real battle. If the momentum stays like this, you genuinely wouldn't rule out Cape Verde going on to win it.

They're making life incredibly difficult for Uruguay, and that's exactly what World Cup football is all about.”

Cape Verde would have qualified for the World Cup if there had been 32 teams instead of 48

They topped a qualifying group with Cameroon

This is a proper, proper team

[The New York Times @nytimes]

From @TheAthleticFC: In their first-ever appearance at a World Cup, Cape Verde have taken points off two teams that have won the tournament three times between them (Spain in 2010 and Uruguay in 1930 and 1950).

4 - Sweden are the first side to win their first game by 4+ goals (5-1) and then lose their second by 4+ goals (1-5) at a FIFA World Cup tournament since...

Sweden in 1938.

ABBA.
