Let me tell you guys another story before the Spain v Cape Verde game, it’s similar to this tweet I quoted.
There’s an Irish pub in New York, they were looking for a team to support at the World Cup because Ireland didn’t qualify.
There’s an Irish player in the Cape Verde team. His mother is Irish and his father is from Cape Verde, he’s the only Irish player at the world cup. Born and raised in Ireland, the current Captain of Shamrock Rovers. He’s represented Ireland at youth levels before switching to play for Cape Verde in 2019.
So, this Irish pub has decided to support Cape Verde at the World Cup because Cape Verde has the only Irish player at the World Cup. The guy’s name is PICO LOPES.
It gets more interesting. Immediately this pub announced it, it went viral. The owner of the pub has a brother actually working at Shamrock Rovers, then the person passed it on to the player, Pico Lopes, who reposted it and it went viral amongst the Cape Verde population.
Before you know it, some Cape Verde nationals in New York visited the pub, introduced the owner to some Cape Verde culture, and also the drink. Before you know it, the official drink in Cape Verde partnered with the pub, which means they’ll be selling Cape Verde drinks at the pub. Beautiful story.
If you’re in New York, you can visit the pub, called HONEY FITZ BAR.
Watch out for Pico Lopes also.
Nah, this is amazing.
Ireland 🇮🇪 didn’t qualify for the World Cup, but their flag is similar to that of Ivory Coast 🇨🇮.
So a pub in Ireland, decided to support Ivory Coast at the WC. They’ll be selling Ivorian meals & playing Ivorian music.
