Reposted by Scott McDowellTom Bogert @tombogert.bsky.social · 04/07/2026Cape Verde captured the hearts of the soccer world this tournament. Words can't describe. I was dubious of the 48-team World Cup. Maybe this Cape Verde team still would havet qualified with 32 (topped their group in qualifying). This team is the best argument for expanded tournament. 391926169
