Cape Verde centre back Roberto 'Pico' Lopes has spent his entire career in Ireland, ignored a LinkedIn message from Cape Verde FA asking him to play for them because it was in Portuguese. A year later, they sent it in English. He accepted. An all-time great World Cup story.

They waited a lifetime for this moment. 🌍🇨🇻 #FIFAWorldCup

Lol. More of these please. I’m tired of seeing them come out of team buses like they are one European team. Bring that AFCON spirit to the world stage. We are Africans please!!!

i sincerely like the way Burna Boy respects himself around women. my GOAT! 🐐

🇨🇻 7 saves for 40 year old goalkeeper Vozinha from Cabe Verde against Spain.

It’s called prayer. Christian prayer. To the Lord Jesus.

Besonderer Moment! Während die Teamkollegen sich beglückwünschten und dem Publikum dankten, bildete sich ein kleiner Kreis aus fünf Spielern. Im Kreis vertreten: Mehrere Spieler Curacaos und Felix Nmecha sowie Jonathan Tah. Arm in Arm steckten die Spieler die Köpfe zusammen. Torschütze Nmecha erklärte nach dem Spiel die Szene am ARD-Mikro: "Wir sind im Spiel Gegner und nach dem Spiel alle Christen und Brüder. Dann haben wir einfach ein kleines Gebet zusammen gemacht, weil wir immer noch sehr dankbar sind", erklärte der 25-Jährige. #wm #dfbteam

Moises Caicedo was seen praying even in defeat to Ivory Coast

🚨🗣️ Felix Nmecha on why he prayed with the Curacao National Team after the game: "In the match we are rivals, but after the game we are all Christians and we are all brothers." "We shared a short prayer because we believe that Jesus is glorified through the game."

Burna Boy has reached a new all-time peak of 39.75 million Spotify monthly listeners ( 549,410).

Bruno Onyemaechi paid a courtesy visit to his grassroot manager, Oga Uche. What I love to see, no be all these footballers wey go blow come forget where Dem dey come from and who helped them.

Curaçao to the World 🌎

The World Cup is genuinely unmatched, Curacao could lose this match 10-1 now but that one goal alone has given their people a moment that will live forever with them

🚨 Shakira & Burna Boy’s “Dai Dai” spends a 3rd week at #1 on the YouTube Music Global Weekly Top Songs chart with a new peak of 53.9 MILLION weekly streams 🌍🏆

Africans Have Always Been The Blueprint

Seeing this generation of footballers and basketball players openly talk about God and their relationship with Him But what I love most is that so many of them have a personal scripture they keep returning to. Then you watch that scripture become a real-life testimony through their career That’s the goal! You want your life to look like your prayer life! You want your testimony to sound like the prayers you prayed when nobody was watching

I got to pick this as the single to herald the release of the African Giant album, as part of our @Star_NG campaign that year, when Burna played me the album in his car in the middle of one of the Star TV ad shoots. It was between this and “Spiritual” for me. After selecting it, @ClarenceShotIt and killed it.

FIFA doing this to avoid a lawsuit they’re not being generous
