I want to send a message of respect and solidarity to all the Latino families in Los Angeles that today face some difficult times, especially to my Mexican people. I admire your courage, work, and love to move forward. We are with you. Don't lose faith.
Ik quite a few people are tuning into the World Cup this year, especially with it being spread across North America but I feel like I need to emphasize how big of a deal that Cabo Verde has done what it has.
Cabo Verde is the third smallest country to qualify for the World Cup (by population; 530k). Less than half the team was actually born in Cabo Verde. This is their first time ever qualifying for the WC.
FIFA World Rankings listed Cabo Verde at 67th in the world. The other members of their group are Spain (#2), Uruguay (#16), and Saudi Arabia (#61). From the beginning the expectation was that Spain and Uruguay were going to have an easy time with their group as giants of the soccer world.
Then we come to the Spain v Cabo Verde opening game. Where again it was believed that it would be an easy win. Except Cabo Verde has Vozinha; "Little Grandma" in Portuguese.
Vozinha, Josimar Jose Evora Dias, is a 40 year old goalkeeper who currently plays for a second division Portuguese league, for G.D. Chaves (which finished 10th in their league this last year). He is now the oldest goalie to have a clean sheet, complete shutout, in a World Cup game. In 3 games he has performed 2 clean sheets. Spain scored 0 goals on him. Saudi Arabia scored 0 goals on him. And Uruguay only scored 2 goals on him. 54 shots against him, 13 on target and only 2 goals conceded.
Another incredible story to come out of the assembly of this team is the story of Roberto Lopes' recruitment. He was previously a mortgage advisor in Ireland and would play amateur soccer. In 2017 he was given the chance to play professionally. While playing for that team he would be messaged on LinkedIn in Portuguese by the Head Coach of the Cabo Verdean team extending an offer to play for them, as the coach discovered Lopes' father was Cabo Verdean. Roberto ignored the message believing it was spam until months later when the coach reached out to follow up on the offer in English. It was at that point that he google translated the previous message to see the offer and accepted, he made his debut for the team in 2019.
Along with Vozinha and Lopes, there are few other standout players such as:
Steven Moreira- MLS 2024 defender of the year
Captain Ryan Mendes- Primarily plays in a second tier Turkish league; appearing in 33 out of 40 games
The entire team, all 26, have a transfer value of $63.1 million. The 18 yr old Spanish player, Lamine Yamal, is worth $232.1 million on his own.
The World Cup has always been dominated by Latin American and European teams that have incredible funding that lead them into becoming the giants that they are. Unlimited resources and people to whittle down until they have the best 26 players of the millions available to them. Some players set aside their birth countries when given the chance to play for powerhouses.
WORLD CUP CHAMPIONS AND RUNNER UPS
Compare the above list of champions; across 8 tournaments that typically feature 32 countries; have only had 11 countries make the podium; and only 6 different winners to the World Ranking below:
The FIFA Men's World Ranking:
Argentina
Spain
France
England
Portugal
Brazil
Morocco
Netherlands
Belgium
Germany
Barring Morocco; all of the top 10 men's teams in the world (as of Jun 11, 2026) have made the top 3. The World Cup has been a feedback loop of the same dozen teams fighting each other with a breakthrough here and there that never makes it all the way.
The outside world sees the big players and their charges to lead their countries to victory. Mbappe in France. Messi in Argentina. Ronaldo in Portugal. Neymar in Brazil. Haaland in Norway. The big actors and the background characters that make up their teams to the general public.
But when you really look at the Cabo Verde national team, you see teamwork. You see the story of misfit puzzle pieces that have been trying to force themselves into other teams, other leagues, that have found that they fit with each other in this "obscure" nation.
They finished second in a group of giants. They qualified for the Group of 32, one step closer to a championship.
That seems like a pretty amazing story for an amazing team that has overcome the odds. I will be rooting for them on 7/3 as they take on Argentina

pope who knows his dick is big so everytime you makeout and start to put your hand on him, he pushes it away. now you just think “oh okay, he’s not ready for intimacy yet.” understandable!
but it gets to a point where one day you convince him to pull down his jeans and you see his thick, heavy cock slap against his tummy. i mean heaaaaavy, like the crimson pink tip is so big & his balls are spilling out of his boxers and he’s soooo warm.
and you’re just staring— gazing, rather. his cheeks & ears are so red and he’s avoiding eye contact nervously as his fists clench and unclench. bare assed, sitting on the bed sheet and swallowing as he pinches his mouth and looks at you… sweet, doe-eyed you. you coo “oh andrew…” in lust and he’s shakily replying “‘m just… really big, didn’t wanna scare you off… or anything.”
i searched sooo deep into h the is priv community im in bc i wrote something similar in april and i had to share after seeing this thank u miss cherry
the first few months of your guys’ relationship he wouldn’t let you touch him, wouldn’t let you suck him off bc he knew his size and didn’t want you to strain yourself. and he didn’t mind eating you out and humping against the bed, or fingering you while he palms himself down.
when you finally corner him ab it bc you just wanna make him feel good too he’s all big eyed like “we can do whatever you want baby, always. i just don’t want you to hurt yourself or hurt you.” and you’re confused bc??? it can’t be that bad.
but he gets his boxers off and it genuinely springs out like a tree hitting the ground after being cut down. literally shock all on your face, bc it’s so thick and long and pulsing and CURVED and PRETTY and “you’re staring.” oh right my fault my fault.
he’s all sweet above you as he guides you onto his dick, rubbing at the underside of your chin whispering sweet notes of “breath baby, ok? not a race,,” “calm down, don’t gotta take it all” “doin’ so good”
and as cautious as he knew he should’ve been, he’s silently cursing himself for keeping this throat from him. your eyes are rolling back once he starts thrusting into your mouth, and he’s apologizing when he fucks your throat rougher than he should as he reaches his climax.
and he’s oh so sweet and gentle in bed, even if you’re cursing him to pleeeease speed up, you’re not glass you can take it. “baby if i go too fast i could hurt you, just stay still ok?” though he’s completely locked in, almost dizzy watching you stretch around his length.
me and my girly were talking about how he’d get secretly turned on hearing you moan about how big he is and how loud you get.
he’d be red in the face, trying to tune you out but you’re scratching at his biceps, squirming under him as he rocks into you so deep it makes you drool, and practically screaming ab how u feel it in ur stomach. he can’t deal, he’s a minute away from bussing inside you.
“baby it’s-it’s not that good..” he can’t even look at you he’s so worked up, eyes to the ceiling as he slams into your hips, biting his lip each time you squeak and moan under him. “no it’s sooo good popey…you’re so big i can’t take it i feel you in my stomach” aaaand hes cumming in you so hard uncontrollably :( apologizing bc he didn’t mean to but he couldn’t help it you got him so worked up :((
