👏 Fair play to them: Cape Verde wins everyone's applause Without a doubt, Cape Verde won everyone’s heart. A country of just over 500,000 inhabitants, made up of 10 islands, thrilled and fought until the very end like no other. In the group stage, they took a point off Spain in a brilliant match by Vozinha, one of the heroes of this team. Then they took another point off Uruguay, and in the final group-stage match they had the pleasure of eliminating them, despite the immense history of La Celeste. And today, the only thing that can be said is that you have to take your hat off to them. They started out losing with a goal from Messi, but at halftime they made adjustments and managed to level the match, taking it to extra time. There, Argentina went back in front with a goal from Lisandro Martínez, but Lopes Cabral scored an absolute stunner to level it again. And when it looked like penalties were coming, La Albiceleste delivered another display of epic drama (yes, another one from this Scaloni team), and eliminated them with that Cuti Romero-Borges goal. Facing the champions and beating them is a titanic task. The last 6 years have proven that, but even so, Cape Verde went down with tremendous honor.
