If you’re moved by Cabo Verde’s world cup run, pay a visit to the country!
There’s a direct flight from Rhode Island to Cabo Verde (~7 hours) - a boost to the tourism industry would be a fitting tribute
Peru's far-right US-backed dictator Alberto Fujimori carried out genocide against Indigenous communities, sterilizing nearly 300,000 people.
His sterilization of Indigenous women received funding from the US Agency for International Development @USAID.

🚨🗣Cape Verde goalkeeper Vozinha on cape verde performance:
🗣 Journalist: "what are your thoughts on this performance against Argentina"

"We have done our very best and Goodluck to the future winners"
JUST IN: NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani used America’s 250th anniversary to sharply criticize the country, accusing the U.S. of allowing children to go hungry while billionaires and “oligarchs” gain more power.
He said America’s wealth was built by working people with “calloused, dirt-streaked hands" while accusing the country of allowing the wealth built by workers to be concentrated in “the soft hands of a precious few.”
@Footballdrugs@spectatorindex They’re still Cape Verdean lmao. Netherlands and other European teams had hella Africans anyway so your argument is invalid.
No matter what happens now, the fact Cabo Verde - a country with 500,000 people in their first World Cup appearance - take the world champions Argentina to extra time, is insane already.
