Cape Verdean football manager and former centre-back
Cape Verde has reached the World Cup round of 32 and will play defending champion Argentina in Miami on July 3 after finishing second in Group H. The island debutants have drawn with Spain and Uruguay and held Saudi Arabia to 0-0, becoming the smallest country ever to reach the knockout stage in World Cup history.
Cape Verde pushes Argentina to a dramatic 3-2 extra-time defeat after a stunning display by Vozinha; Messi secures late winner but the match becomes a showcase of Cape Verde’s historic World Cup run and the staying power of veteran forwards.
