After becoming the smallest nation ever to advance to the Knockout Stage of a FIFA World Cup, Cape Verde was welcomed home with a parade in the nation's capital 🇨🇻

Why are they obsessed with us? [viewer discretion advised]

Lately, I've noticed a weird uptick in posts from latinos claiming we're exactly like them, or portugese users asking if we want to join the eu as an autonomous region. it almost always boils down to racial taxonomy; specifically fetishi,zing the mix ancestry of some cape verdeans. Cape Verde is a stable, low-profile country just minding its own business, but somehow we've caught the eye of westerners looking to project their own racial hang-ups.

Anonymity doesn't change a person's core beliefs; it just exposes them. The polite, friendly persona they show in real life is usually a performance driven by the fear of social consequences, while the anonymous profile represents the thoughts they actually cultivate when they think no one is watching.

These screenshots show the true sentiments floating around out there. be careful who you engage with. Long live freedom

🇦🇷 Argentina 🤝Cabo Verde 🇨🇻

Joined this sub and sadly see a lot of hate against Argentina after Cabo Verde’s match. Just wanted to share this and let you see how the it really was there and how we feel about them. Btw this happened before and after the match.

Cabo Verdeans of LA what's the independence day move?

As a Cabo Verdean (I'm Egyptian) and lifelong fan (of 2 weeks) I learned that today is yalls independence day! Just wondering what we are doing to celebrate both that and the world cup WIN (yes I am choosing to be delulu and rewriting history idc). Where are we going and what do we bring to the festivities? I promise we won't be weird!

xoxo,

As an Argentinean...

JESUS WHAT A GAME

I wanted to take some time before I made this post.

There is a lot I would like to say, first of all who do I invoice for my cardiologist bill to?

Jokes aside, I would like to say that I have nothing but respect for you guys. You had a blistering World Cup and I'm sorry we had to face each other this early.

I'm also thankful that we didn't go to penalties cause I think we would have lost then.

I'm saving some money at the moment but I would like to visit in the next year or next two years.

What would you recommend I see/eat/try/visit? I'm open to everything as long as its interesting!

What is the best time of year to visit?

Keep your heads high. The future of Cape Verdean football looks bright, and many of us across Africa will be cheering you on. Much love from Zambia. ❤️

Esse jogo me emocionou mais que qualquer outro.

Eu ainda tô meio sem saber explicar o que eu acabei de assistir.
Cabo Verde já tinha sido uma das grandes revelações dessa Copa. Quem acompanhou sabia que não era uma seleção qualquer. Eles já tinham segurado a Espanha, passaram em segundo num grupo difícil, mostraram desde o começo que tinham futebol, raça e personalidade.
Mesmo assim, era a Argentina. Campeã mundial. Mata-mata. Messi. E, sendo brasileira, é óbvio que eu queria ver a Argentina fora, mas eu também sabia que a chance não era das maiores. Eu fui assistir sem saber muito bem o que esperar. Tinha uma parte de mim achando que talvez a Argentina resolvesse o jogo rápido, talvez até goleasse pelo peso do nome.
E aí Cabo Verde simplesmente me entregou um dos jogos mais emocionantes que eu já vi na vida.
Sério, que seleção absurda. Eles não se intimidaram, não aceitaram o papel de “time menor”, não desistiram por um segundo. Fizeram uma campeã mundial sofrer até o último minuto. E sofrer de verdade.
O Vozinha me fez comemorar defesa como se fosse gol do Brasil. Cada bola parecia uma esperança nova. Eu queria muito ter conhecido esse futebol antes, porque é bonito demais ver uma seleção jogando com essa entrega.
E acho que esse jogo lembrou uma coisa que a gente esquece muito: no futebol, nome não ganha jogo sozinho. Camisa pesa, história pesa, mas a bola rola. E quando a bola rola, tudo pode acontecer.
Ver os jogadores de Cabo Verde chorando depois da eliminação acabou comigo. Porque eles perderam, mas saíram gigantes. Saíram com o respeito de todo mundo que assistiu.
Deixo aqui aplausos e mais aplausos pra Cabo Verde. Que seleção emocionante. Que Copa eles fizeram. Que orgulho deve ser torcer por esse país hoje.

🇨🇻❤️

Faço música hiphop e alternativo há mais de 10 anos, só agora tive a coragem de lançar

Absolutamente odeio todo o processo cada vez mais vincado de um músico ou nascer rico e investir em anúncios, ou ter os connects perfeitos ou então ter de passar horas diariamente a criar conteúdo. Apenas quero criar os meus temas focados neles e não em tudo em volta.

Provavelmente jamais terei a chancer de vingar profissionalmente, talvez por teimosia, mas fica aqui o meu trabalho em dois singles acabados de sair para quem quiser tirar um pouco do seu tempo: https://open.spotify.com/artist/7Cm45IpJyJrq5vc1cdyctJ?si=c4c6019ea61d4f20 Ambos bastante diferentes e agradeço se gostarem e se não gostarem, está tudo bem, agradeço o vosso tempo de qualquer forma. Abraço

Cabo Verde

They played that game like champions and delivered an outstanding performance marking their game against Argentina the defending champions to be the best match since the World Cup started, my goodness.

Spectacular. Simply Spectacular

This match was robbery in pure daylight. Stellar performance from a phenomenal team. I have never had a World Cup game put me so on edge and in literal tears. Cabo Verde you were phenomenal. Both goals 👏👏👏 Argentina played dirty. Foul tricks and penalties. Poor performance and sportsmanship.

From the rest of the world, that was the most valiant of all World Cup games. We love you 🫶

Basically a home game for Messi, the stadium 99% Argentina fans, and STILL y’all almost won. Incredible. Cabo Verde is the most outstanding team in the whole tournament.
