Where To Find The Stars Of Cape Verde After Their 2026 FIFA World Cup Exit
Cape Verde won hearts across the world with its inspiring run at the 2026 World Cup. The island country with a population of under 600,000 people — located within an archipelago off the western coast of Africa — fielded a team of players who never backed down even against the top-ranked team in the tournament. During the group stage, they took points off previous World Cup-winning nations Spain and Uruguay, before a draw with Saudi Arabia clinched Cape Verde's spot in the knockout rounds. The magic continued, as Cape Verde went blow for blow with defending champion Argentina, matching its first goal in regulation, and another in extra time when Sidny Lopes Cabral delivered the goal of the tournament. Ultimately, Argentina found a winner, but Cape Verde won, too. The country and its players will be remembered for its courage, for being inspirational underdogs. So what's next for the players who led Cape Verde to its first knockout stage appearance? Vozinha became a viral sensation due to his heroic performances for Cape Verde, appearing on "FIFA World Cup on FOX After Hours with James Corden" and increasing his social media following by 20 million in the span of two weeks. Vozinha is currently a free agent, giving him the opportunity to cash in on his newfound notoriety. Lopes Cabral endeared himself to fans when he scored the goal of the tournament in extra time against Argentina before running into the grandstands to celebrate with Cape Verde supporters. He secured a €10 million transfer to Turkish side Trabzonspor after spending last season in Portugal with SL Benfica. Pina etched his name into Cape Verde's history books when he scored its first-ever World Cup goal against Uruguay. Pina has played for Russian side Krasnador since 2022, and signed a contract extension with the club in 2024 to keep him in Russia through June 2027. Deroy Duarte made his mark on the tournament by scoring the equalizer against Argentina to force extra time. Duarte plays in Bulgaria with Ludogorets. He played in the Netherlands for the first eight seasons of his professional career before moving to the club in 2024. He is under contract through 2028. Cape Verde wouldn't have qualified for the knockout round without Hélio Varela, who scored the equalizer against Uruguay in the group stage. Varela plays for Israeli club Maccabi Tel Aviv. Ryan Mendes captained Cape Verde at its first-ever World Cup and is its all-time caps leader. Mendes is currently a free agent after spending last season with Turkish side Iğdır. Roberto "Pico" Lopes anchored Cape Verde's defense at the World Cup by playing every possible minute of the tournament. He captains the Shamrock Rovers in the League of Ireland Premier Division and is entering his 10th year with the club. Moreira held his own on defense against some of the best attacking players in the world. Moreira plays in the United States with MLS side Columbus Crew and was a key figure in their MLS Cup (2023) and Leagues Cup (2024) title runs. He will be a free agent at the end of the season. Jovane Cabral was a key player for Cape Verde during the tournament, playing 214 minutes and starting against Uruguay and Spain. Cabral plays for Estrela da Amadora in the Portuguese Liga.
Quinta pole para un Antonelli sin límites, perfecto e increíble
Pocos pilotos hay capaces de mantener la concentración tras un éxito, descomprimir y volver a tensionar para repetirlo otra vez. Kimi Antonelli, pese a su aspecto de haber salido de clase en el instituto para ir a jugar con los amigos a la Play, parece ponerse a prueba para reincidir y pulirse a una terrible competencia. La pole fue también suya, unas tres horas después de arrasar a Hamilton en el Sprint de Gran Bretaña, para completar un sábado redondo, impoluto y perfecto. Increíble. piekny-pies.pl

How to Watch Canada vs. Morocco Players to Watch in Canada vs. Morocco match Achraf Hakimi has been one of Morocco's most influential players, combining elite defending with constant attacking runs down the right flank. Having played every minute of the tournament, he will be a major factor on both ends of the field. Ismael Saibari enters the knockout stage in outstanding form after scoring three goals during the group stage. His finishing and ability to find dangerous spaces have made him Morocco's primary attacking threat. Jonathan David remains Canada's biggest goal-scoring weapon and will be relied upon to convert the chances his team creates. Canada will need a clinical performance from its leading striker to challenge Morocco's defense. Tajon Buchanan gives Canada pace and creativity on the wing, making him one of the team's most dangerous transition players. His ability to beat defenders one-on-one and deliver quality service into the box could be key if Canada is to spring an upset.
Ryerson med på trening
Det norske laget er i gang med sin siste trening før fredagens åttedelsfinale i VM mot Brasil.
Samtlige 26 spillere er i aksjon. Det betyr at også Julian Ryerson er med.
Backen har vært ute med en skade siden han ble byttet ut tidlig i andre gruppespillkamp mot Senegal. Fredag anslo landslagslege Ola Sand sjansen for at høyrebacken blir klar til Brasil-kampen som under 50 prosent.
Det tolker NRKs fotballekspert Kristoffer Løkberg som oppløftende.
– Litt under 50/50, jeg synes det var positivt, sier han mens lørdagens trening pågår.
– Når du gir den muligheten til en fotballspiller av Ryersons kaliber og personlighet, så tipper jeg han tar den, sier Løkberg.
Høyrebacken Ståle Solbakken velger får en krevende og ekstremt viktig jobb med å temme Brasils største stjerne, Vinicius Junior.
Bethell blasts England to T20 win over India after Sooryavanshi’s historic debut
Bethell’s 76 helps England chase 191 in second T20
Vaibhav Sooryavanshi was both headline act and bit-part player on a chill, windswept Manchester afternoon, making his hotly anticipated debut to become, at 15 years and 99 days, the youngest ever Indian men’s international and the second youngest in all formats and from all full member nations.
But it was England’s youngest player, even if Jacob Bethell is a comparative veteran at 22, who decided the game and effectively did so in the space of a single over, their 17th and Ravi Bishnoi’s fourth, from which he plundered a match-turning 29. Thanks in large part to Bethell’s 76 off 46 England eventually cantered to victory by four wickets, and with an over to spare.
