Cape Verde have arguably delivered the biggest story of World Cup 2026 so far. Now, the Blue Sharks are seeking a stellar upset against more former world champions, in the form of Uruguay. They couldn’t, could they?
Cape Verde shocked everyone by holding Spain, European champions and pre-tournament favorites, to a goalless draw in their first-ever World Cup match. Their 40-year-old goalkeeper, Vozinha, made heroic save after another, not only helping his country prove its mettle on the big stage but also rising to fame overnight himself. With his mother now likely to be in the stands against Uruguay, thanks to the US government sorting out her visa, he’ll certainly be confident of denying the likes of Darwin Nunez and Federico Vinas.
Marcelo Bielsa’s men are coming off a frustrating draw themselves. Saudi Arabia led for most of the game, and it took an 80th-minute goal by Maximiliano Araujo to salvage a point. Two-time winners La Celeste are yet to win a game since their 2-1 victory over Uzbekistan last October, and there are rumors of divisions between the squad and their head coach, whose high-pressing philosophy is beginning to grate. Real Madrid midfielder Fede Valverde, though, will be confident of getting past Vozinha at least once.
Group H is so tight after a pair of opening draws. A win for either side puts them in a strong position.
