Cape Verde goalkeeper Vozinha said facing Argentina and Lionel Messi in the FIFA World Cup Round of 32 is "a dream for any footballer." The 40-year-old spoke after his team became the smallest nation to reach the World Cup knockout stage. Cape Verde qualified with three draws and finished second in their group. "None of us dreamed of this, but we knew we had quality," Vozinha said. "We are from a small country, but we know how to compete," he added. He also said the team's success should inspire young players, adding, "We are here to be an example for the little ones" and represent Cape Verde with pride. (PC: NDTV, X)
