I'm not actively following the World Cup this year (for the US games same reason lesser extent as Qatar).

But caught some of Uruguay vs Cabo Verde at the pub, followed the rest at home. Cabo Verde are proper class. This game has had really beautiful play and a lovely underdog story, one of the greats.

Okay, still a draw, this isn't a footie equivalent of rugby SA-Japan. But footie can either be dull or spectacularly beautiful, and this was wonderful.

Also this draw means Cabo Verde, in a group of death, might get through the groups.

Uruguay fehlt ein Spieler wie Luis Suárez. Der hatte noch Biss.

Trwa PIĘKNY SEN rekinów z Cabo Verde 💪🦈

❇️ Dwa punkty zdobyte na dwóch byłych mistrzach świata
❇️ Tym razem nie tylko dyscyplina w defensywie, ale i trochę odwagi oraz fantazji z przodu
❇️ Jak najbardziej REALNA szansa awansu do fazy pucharowej mundialu dla półmilionowego kraju położonego na Atlantyku

Takie historie to sól futbolu.

2-2 with Uruguay after 0-0 with Spain - Cape Verde really are the big draw of the World Cup. Bold, quick and technical in possession. Defiant defending, blocking and clearing. They definitely look at home in the land of the brave. Cape Fearless. #URUCPV

Well done, Cape Verdi! 👏👏👏

What a disastrous result for Uruguay.

I wanted to see the last free kick played out, but you can’t really argue that a draw isn’t the right result.

Cape Verde shows again a stoutness of heart and a collective willingness to do the difficult work. 👏

Ich ziehe meinen imaginären Hut vor Kap Verde. #URUCPV 2:2

Wer gegen Spanien und Uruguay unentschieden spielt, kann Saudi Arabien auf jeden Fall schlagen.

Parabéns ao Tubarões Azuis!
