Amazing video sent to us via Jack Hennessy who was in Houston last night to see Cape Verde make history and reach the World Cup Round of 32.
Jack had a tricolour with him and got it to Pico after the game. Here's what he said happened;
"I live and work in Houston. Sat front row with a tricolor. We made friends with one of the photographers there and asked him to throw our flag to Pico"
Fair play to Pico for copping the flag was the wrong way around as well😅
As Pico himself said, he's playong for two countries at this World Cup.
A Scottish fan chanted, "Free Palestine."
"I was a nurse in Gaza. I volunteered in Gaza. I’ve seen what happens. There is a genocide. Free Palestine."
She's a hero.
A Scotland 🏴 fan at the World Cup sees an 🇮🇱 flag & shouts for a Free Palestine 🇵🇸:
‘I was a nurse in Gaza 🇵🇸’
‘I volunteered’
‘I saw it for myself’
‘It is a genocide’
Refusing to be silenced 👏
A Flower of Scotland 🏴 🇵🇸
La partida física del Comandante de la Revolución, Ramiro Valdés Menéndez, duele profundamente, como la de un padre.
Así lo quise y respeté siempre. Así recordaré su apoyo y consejos, su discreta colaboración y ejemplar consagración al servicio de la Patria.

Will Elon Musk and other MAGA types be tweeting about this former top rightwing politician in the UK who was just found guilty of being a pedophile and whose wife aided and abetted him in those sick sex crimes against children? If not, why not?
The most emotion Keir Starmer has shown is over losing his job, not enabling the genocide of the Palestinian people.
Good riddance.
His next stop should be The Hague.
Starmer calling Corbyn's Labour morally bankrupt in his resignation speech — from a man who defended collective punishment in Gaza, fed intelligence to Israeli génocidaires, and had activists trying to stop it arrested as terrorists. Not a decent man. An indecent sociopath.
Let’s all get real. Keir Starmer’s support even in his own cabinet has collapsed & he’d be humiliated in a leadership election.Streeting has even less support & is in a puerile self promotion exercise. The priority now is the construction of an effective radical policy programme
If we needed anymore evidence that much of what we see on X is fake, these are the Makerfield by election results:
LABOUR: 24,937
REFORM: 15,696
RESTORE: 3,111
CONSERVATIVES: 997
GREEN: 308
Rupert Lowe has over 850,000 "followers" on X - one of the most of any British political figure, all his posts are highly botted with 10,000s of likes. His party barely scraped 3000 votes and have never come close to winning a seat. Not even Rupert's own seat was won as part of Restore.
Faking engagement to convince people of popularity in the manner he does is election fraud. It is also incredibly likely all this is foreign funded, and undeclared - again, election fraud.
So much of what you read on X about UK politics and the UK in general is funded propaganda intended to overthrow the people's elected representation, and replace it with representation that supports elites and grifters whose sole purpose is to serve their own means, and hurt working people. We must continue to fight against this misinformation if we love our country. 🇬🇧
The British people have once again rejected grift and division.
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.
