What it means for us…

[TobyWrites @tobyasky]

A former banker who took football seriously at 25. Played local league in Cape Verde before going to Angola, back to Cape Verde, then Moldova, Portuguese Segunda, Cyprus (where he actually did very well), Slovakia and currently back to Portuguese Segunda with CD Chaves.

Played in 4 AFCONs for Cape Verde, led Cape Verde to their first World Cup, while dropping 7 saves in a masterclass performance against Spain tonight in their first game at the age of 40.

An inspiration to the people of Cape Verde and beyond.

What you have to remember about the Spain Cape Verde game is that in the last World Cup, Argentina did lose to Saudi Arabia and went onto win the whole thing. While they will be disappointed to draw 0-0, you can't rule Cape Verde out of winning the whole thing yet.

Not tonight.

Interesting dichotomy forming amongst the team. Hand Rubbers vs Arm Folders. Most surprised by Matt Freese. He doesn’t strike me as a hand rubber

Vive l'Amérique

[Dave Helman @davehelman_]

First 0-0 of the tournament is an island nation with the population of Omaha stealing a point from the reigning European champions and one of the favorites to win the whole thing.

God, I love the World Cup.

Cabo Verde cometeu UMA FALTA. O menor número num jogo de Copa dentro dos registros da Opta (desde 1966).

This international coverage of the World Cup in small town America is devastating to the legacy media narrative

It’s the freaking World Cup. Of course huge crowds were going to turn up. They always do. They did in Brazil. They did in Russia. They did in Qatar.

That doesn’t make FIFA squeezing them of every last dollar they have or the US making it harder for many fans to attend right.

[Franklin Leonard @franklinleonard]

An all time World Cup performance from Cape Verde.

[george @StokeyyG2]

Me sat on my sofa trying to help Cape Verde defend against Spain

[Africa Is a Country @africasacountry]

Cabo Verde’s national team is at the World Cup for the first time in their history. To understand why they might surprise everyone, you need to understand morabeza.
