no but in all seriousness imagine this is your very first time in the world cup and not only do you not lose a single game in the group stage (one of which is against a top 3 team) but your first knockout game is against the current world champions and u still almost win
🚨 David Beckham on Cape Verde’s elimination after pushing Argentina to extra time in the FIFA World Cup:
🗣️ “This is the cruelest side of football. Cape Verde have been eliminated, but they leave this tournament with something far more important than just a scoreline—they leave with the respect of the entire football world. They took the defending world champions all the way into extra time and made Argentina fight for every single minute. Nobody expected that before kick-off.
When I think about this performance, I think about Vozinha first. His saves kept Cape Verde alive when many teams would have collapsed. Then you have Deroy Duarte and Sydney Lopes, two players who will forever be remembered in their country’s football history. They scored against Argentina, they believed when so many people doubted them, and they gave millions of Cape Verdeans a night they will never forget.
People will only remember that Argentina qualified, but those who truly understand football will remember how close Cape Verde came to creating one of the greatest upsets in World Cup history. They never hid, they never stopped running, and they never accepted that they were supposed to lose. Every challenge, every tackle, every attack showed a team playing with pride, courage, and absolute belief.
This is not a story of failure. This is a story of a nation announcing itself to the football world. Cape Verde arrived at this World Cup as outsiders, but they leave having proven they belong on the biggest stage. They stretched the world champions to their absolute limit, forced them into extra time, and made them earn every second of their qualification.
Football can be incredibly unfair. Sometimes the team that captures the hearts of everyone watching is not the team that advances. But no whistle can erase what Cape Verde have achieved. Vozinha, Deroy Duarte, Sydney Lopes, and every player wearing that shirt have inspired a generation. Argentina continue their journey, but Cape Verde leave this World Cup as heroes.”
🚨#BREAKING: A doctor in Arizona will face NO CRIMINALS CHARGES after he pronounced an 18-month-old baby as DECEASED and left him in a freezing hospital morgue for FIVE AND A HALF HOURS...
...BUT THE BABY WAS STILL ALIVE.
Baby Vincent was pulled from a backyard pool where doctors at Mercy Gilbert worked on him, and at 6:20 p.m., Dr. Aryan Toosi pronounced him de*d.
His parents said goodbye to their baby.
...but then a nurse said, "I have a pulse."
Police officers standing there heard the baby GASP.
Not once. Multiple times over the course of an hour.
And when an officer tried to tell the doctor the child might still be alive?
Per the report, the doctor "arrogantly" told him:
"I'm the doctor. I have the medical degree. I went to medical school for a reason. Let me do my thing."
So they put that living, breathing baby in the "cold room" morgue!!!!!
The room is kept at 36 degrees.
And there he stayed... FOR FIVE AND A HALF HOURS.
It wasn't until the medical examiner's transport team who showed up near MIDNIGHT to move a "body" and found the baby STILL BREATHING.
Little baby Vincent ended up surviving.
But sadly, he suffered serious brain damage, and his family says he'll need care for the rest of his life.
A baby was left to freeze in a morgue while he was still alive... because a doctor was too arrogant to listen to a nurse and 2 police officers.
And as of right now, that doctor faces NO criminal charges.
THIS IS CRAZY!!!!!
