It's not just Cape Verde: African soccer is having a World Cup moment

African soccer teams are demonstrating relentless performances during the current World Cup, contrasting with the uneven play of traditional powerhouses like Brazil, England, and Spain. Notably, Cape Verde has become the smallest country to ever reach the World Cup knockout round. This achievement by Cape Verde challenges existing assumptions regarding tournament expansion and underscores the significant potential for smaller nations to excel on the global stage during this specific sporting event.
