It’s Spain vs Cape Verde here in Atlanta today and huge shout out to the amazing contingent of @fcfcomunica fans! I chatted with a Cape Verdean family who told me a bit of their story seeing the team make it here and what they expect!
A @FIFAWorldCup match is getting ready to kick off in a couple of hours in my hometown of Atlanta, Georgia and I think this was the moment it really hit me.

Haiti vs Scotland kicks off in 20 minutes. Three hours later it’s Turkey vs Australia.
This World Cup schedule is a complete mess. Who exactly is staying awake at these hours to watch Haiti vs Scotland?
The World Cup should be prime-time football, not a sleep deprivation challenge.
Heavyweights, dark horses, and massive underdogs feature in Day 4 of World Cup action.

So far, the groups that have played in this World Cup are super intriguing. Scotland beating Haiti while Brazil and Morocco drew makes for a fun time, and Canada’s group being even adds to the chaos.
Trying to be unbiased but the U.S. has been the best team we’ve seen so far.
