The tiny island nation of Cape Verde, population 600,000, kicked off their 2026 World Cup debut with a 0-0 draw against Spain on June 15, then battled back for a 2-2 tie with Uruguay on Sunday in Miami. Irish-born defender Pico Lopes, born in Dublin to a Cape Verdean father, started both games, helping concede just two goals while Kevin Pina scored their first-ever World Cup goal from a 30-yard free kick.
