Cabo Verde holding the eventual finalists to a stalemate and going life and death with 1 half of the other semi final is an achievement that gets better by the day.
This was the tournament of the stars. Where all the big players were shining, tremendous individual showings, illuminating the competition. And then Spain come and show it is all about team effort. A collective idea. An entire squad totally bought in. Tremendous.
People are often critical of Victoria Beckham but to see this outpouring of emotion here from her as England scores a goal shows her deep connection with both football and the team.
Lionel Messi has scored more World Cup goals after turning 35 (10) than the following players in their entire careers:
-Cristiano Ronaldo
-Thierry Henry
-Maradona
-Rivaldo
-Neymar
-Harry Kane
Absolutely insane 🤯🐐
The most famous goalless draw in World Cup history.
Cape Verde, a chain of 10 islands in the Atlantic Ocean off the coast of West Africa with a population of 529,000, have held the European champions and favourites Spain in Atlanta.
Forty-year-old goalkeeper Vozinha was the hero for Cape Verde, who themselves had a chance to win it through Nuno Borges at the death.
Spain lost to Switzerland in their opening game of the 2010 World Cup and went on to win the tournament.
They will be hoping for a similar outcome after this stunning result.
Always think World Cups are so beautiful for associative memory. They come every four years, allow you to reflect on life, how far you have come, where you were when it last came and just an opportunity to somehow be grateful for everything.
