I’m not sure how many times we have to say the SAVE Act is a voter suppression bill, but here’s the president saying it himself.

Everywhere he goes, God is showing his displeasure.

Croatia were given a grand total of 18 mins to score a goal yesterday and today the refree didn't even let Cape Verde take the last throw so close to goal

DISGRACEFUL

[Ryan Rosenblatt, Back to Back World Series Champ @RyanRosenblatt]

I genuinely cannot think of a knockout stage game where an underdog had a World Cup favorite in hell like that. Not with a bounce, or some luck, but just punch for punch.

Cabo Verde will be remembered forever.

Ronaldo is about to face Spain for the 4th time in 6 World Cups: 2006, 2010, 2018, 2026

He has also faced Brazil in 2010, Germany in 2014, and England in 2006.

Meanwhile Messi has played 6 World Cups and still hasn’t faced Spain, England, Brazil, or Italy once.

But we’re supposed to pretend the paths are the same?

I’ll keep calling it out: giant corporations are manipulating the market to jack up prices.

[Berneese @theberneese]

The Cape Verde coach deserves his flowers too. He has built an incredible team without a single global football star.👏

Llevo viendo fútbol 20 años y siempre cuando un jugador sale a ser atendido el partido sigue con 1 menos. Pues aquí el árbitro esperó a que volviese el argentino para reanudar el juego. https://t.co/AQ2iAUDs5d

We are so proud of you Cabo Verde

His club contract expired on June 1. He entered the World Cup unemployed.

Vozinha turned professional at 25, in 2007, the same year Lamine Yamal was born. Nineteen years followed across six countries: Cape Verde, Angola, Moldova, Portugal, Cyprus, Slovakia. One trophy the whole time, a Cypriot Cup in 2019. His last deal was with Chaves in Portugal's second division, and when it ran out on June 1 he announced his exit with nothing lined up.

Fourteen days later he faced Spain, ranked second in the world, in Cape Verde's first ever World Cup match. Spain took 27 shots. He saved all seven on target. 0-0. At 40 years and 12 days he became the oldest player ever to appear in a nation's World Cup debut. Only Shilton and Zoff have kept a clean sheet at an older age.

He cried at the final whistle. The grandparents who raised him died before they could see any of it. His mother missed the match because the family couldn't get her visa processed in time. That detail traveled so far that Hakeem Jeffries personally asked the Secretary of State to intervene, and five days later she was in the stands in Miami watching her son hold Uruguay.

The 18 million followers have a mechanism behind them. Brazilian broadcaster CazéTV told its viewers to follow him during the Spain broadcast. 46K became 1 million within minutes of the whistle. Every save after that compounded it: a second clean sheet against Saudi Arabia, then eight stops against Argentina yesterday, including a Messi free kick, before falling 3-2 in extra time.

Cape Verde, population 525,000, went home without losing a single match in 90 minutes. Their keeper went home with 400x the followers he arrived with.

Nineteen years bought him one trophy. Eighteen days bought him everything else.

🚨 This video of emotional Cape Verde players refusing to leave the pitch after full-time but showing appreciation and respect for their supporters is so beautiful to see ♥️♥️

毎試合、相手の代表監督にペナントを贈るのが恒例となっているカーボベルデのブビスタ監督。W杯という大舞台でも変わらないリスペクトの精神、素晴らしいですね！🇨🇻⚽️

Players from other countries have totally lost respect for him

What a dreadful end to his career

Os Argentinos são a pior especie do mundo

This belongs to someone in the Cape Verde team

Nobody remembers you if you don’t win

[✰ @DarrylRMFC]

the most dirtiest football team of all time yet they’ve been only shown ONLY two yellow cards at this world cup so far, fifa knows exactly what they’re doing

[𝐟𝐞𝐝𝐞𝐯𝐚𝐥𝐯 @heis_fede]

For context, there wasn’t even a VAR check for this btw
