"It's great to see a local lad playing in the World Cup, it's brilliant!"
Shamrock Rovers fans at the Priory Market in Tallaght give their thoughts as Hoops captain Pico Lopes made his World Cup debut, starting for Cape Verde against Spain in Atlanta
'From Crumlin to Cape Verde' RTE Special - the story of Roberto 'Pico' Lopes. From dodging bullets on the mean streets of Crumlin to the fairytale of playing for the Cape Verde 'Blue Sharks' at the World Cup. Shamrock Rovers & Ireland
He left a solid banking job to chase his dream of becoming a professional footballer, and now reached the highest stage: the #FIFAWorldCup with Cabo Verde. ๐๐จ๐ป
An emotional letter to Pico Lopes from a close friend who witnessed every step of his journey. โ๏ธ
โPicoโs from Crumlin. Iโm from Dolphinโs Barn. We live in a little road in Kilnamanagh. To say that heโs in a World Cup..it's crazy"
Pico Lopes' wife Leah is here in Atlanta with family & friends, living a surreal dream
Spoke with them over the weekend.

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.
๐ฎ๐ช Best of luck to Cory O'Sullivan, John O'Sullivan, Naj Razi & Michael Noonan who have been included in the Ireland U21 squad for the upcoming friendly double-header in Zagreb โ๏ธ

@FootRankings Rovers are the highest ranking team in Champions League Qualifying round 1 and champions route means 2 tie wins = Conference League group stages, which we have qualified for 3 times in 4 years..... yet not this year?
๐จ๐ป Our own Pico Lopes has been included in the 26-man Cape Verde squad for the upcoming FIFA World Cup
We're all very proud of you, @picolopesย ๐
Enjoy every moment representing the Blue Sharks in the USA ๐ฆ
