You can think what you like about the XXL World Cup, but this year there have definitely been stories we probably would have missed out on without so many teams taking part.

The latest example: Cape Verde, complete newcomers to the tournament, have made it into the knockout stage, becoming the smallest country ever to do so.

The island nation has a population of just over 525,000.

Now world champions Argentina, with Messi, await in the round of 32. That was confirmed after the 0-0 draw against Saudi Arabia last night. Three draws were enough for second place behind Spain.

Of course, that meant total scenes. Players and fans were naturally impossible to hold back after the final whistle. 

And then there was also the thing with the goats. Wearing shirts belonging to Cape Verde’s outstanding goalkeeper at this tournament: Vozinha.

There’s probably no better way to show who these fans think the GOAT is. We just hope the goats enjoyed the party just as much.
