🚨 Drogba on Cape Verde after Argentina’s win:
🗣️ Reporter:
“Argentina are through, but what did you make of Cape Verde?”
🗣️ Drogba:
“I don’t remember watching a team play Argentina with so little fear. Argentina scored. Cape Verde answered. Argentina scored again. Cape Verde answered with probably the best goal of the tournament.
At no point did they play like a team that believed they were supposed to lose. That’s what impressed me.
Before this tournament people asked me who the surprise package would be. Some said Croatia. Some said Japan. I don’t think anyone expected Cape Verde.
They played Uruguay. They played Spain. They played Argentina. And somehow every game felt like the other team had to earn it. They may be going home.…but they’ve made the whole football world remember their name.”
🌎🇨🇻 OFFICIAL: Cape Verde are OUT of the 2026 World Cup.
One of the most emotional, beautiful, proud teams to see in history of this competition.
500k population, a big heart. What a game, what a team.
@RodWalkerNola I don't think 41-42 year old LBJ moves the needle for a contender to become favorites but I think he fits well with 1. Cavs 2. Heat 3. Warriors
