the declan rice national thirsting centre

Thierry Henry and Zlatan Ibrahimovic, two of the game's great talkers, just taking a moment to sit in silence in the studio after the final whistle went. Cabo Verde got all of us.

I think it would be nice if any of the commentators mentioned Thomas Partey's rape charges. Just so I don't feel like I'm losing my mind thinking this is an important detail. Even just, like, the same way people talk about players' career red cards and disciplinary records when they're on the ball, or when there's a bit of a lull. "Thomas Partey, most recently played in La Liga with Villareal, he hasn't signed anywhere yet for the 2026-2027 season, likely due to the complications from being charged with seven counts of rape. He has yet to stand trial, of course- we probably wouldn't be seeing him here if he was convicted, and Canada, one of the host nations for this tournament, refused to issue him a visa for Ghana's group stage match against Panama because of these charges- but this might be the last time we get to see him on this stage." Like. It wouldn't be a lot, but it would be nice.

The concept of going toe-to-toe with the defending world champions…in your World Cup debut. Cabo Verde we will never forget you 🇨🇻❤️
