Cape Verde Score Against Uruguay AGAIN: Vozinha Is Becoming a World Cup Legend

[RusticDaemon]

Cape Verde, making their World Cup debut, drew 0-0 with Spain in their first game thanks to goalkeeper Vozinha who is 40 years old and apparently made of something Spain's entire attack couldn't penetrate. Then in game two against Uruguay, Cape Verde scored first. Again. Against Uruguay. The tiny island nation with a population of half a million people is not just participating in the World Cup they are competing and creating moments. Uruguay equalised and have gone ahead but Cape Verde's story is already something special. Vozinha went from unknown to having millions of social media followers overnight. This is exactly what the expanded World Cup format was supposed to create.

Vozinha at 40 years old stopping Spain's entire attack and then coming back to face Uruguay is the best story of the tournament

[Jordan89]

Cape Verde have a population of about 500,000 people. For context that's smaller than most cities with a football club

[NightHarbour30]

They scored first against Uruguay. Uruguay who have won the World Cup twice. Cape Verde who have never been to one before

[Lion42]

The expanded 48-team format gets criticism but Cape Verde are exactly the argument for it

[NeonPilot]

Vozinha going from nobody to 5 million social media followers in a week is peak modern World Cup

[WearyCoder]

Cape Verde won't win the group but they've already won the tournament in terms of moments and stories

[MondayMoan51]

Uruguay will probably qualify but they should be embarrassed at how hard Cape Verde made this

[Always_Shane35]

The goalkeeper being 40 is almost the least surprising thing at this point. Of course he's 40

[FinnHalliday]

If Cape Verde somehow get through as a best third place team the internet will actually break

[Myles95]

This is what football is for. Tiny nation, incredible goalkeeper, impossible moments. Perfect

[PlanetOftheApes]

Love this guy! faded into history now though

[Luca73]

After Spain and now Uruguay, Vozinha deserves a medal for stress management alone; most people would need a lie-down after facing those attacks, and he just gets back up and does it again.

[KaiHeck]

There is something brilliant about a goalkeeper becoming the face of a country's World Cup story, and Vozinha has absolutely embraced the role of human brick wall so far.

[GhostRider89]

Vozinha is making every Cape Verde match feel like a job interview for the greatest goalkeeper story ever told - one more ridiculous performance and the legend status is basically locked in

[BookerT]

Vozinha has gone from goalkeeper to national treasure in about three matches; at this point Uruguay probably see his gloves in their nightmares

[QubitZero68]

Vozinha may be 40, but his reaction saves are giving serious "age is just a number" energy - someone check whether he has secretly been playing World Cup finals for the last 20 years!
