Story
Capo Verde debutta al Mondiale — 600.000 abitanti nell'Atlantico. Il Girone H con Spagna, Uruguay e Arabia Saudita è il più duro possibile. Un singolo punto sarebbe storico.
Tactical Profile
Approccio difensivo e di ripartenza. Rosa della diaspora formata in Europa. Il divario qualitativo è enorme e la profondità minima.
Giocatori Chiave per il Tuo Tabellone
Iğdır FK · 36
Age 36, but Cape Verde's all-time top scorer and captain
Cape Verde's all-time leading scorer and captain. Mendes has been the face of Cape Verdean football for over a decade. At 36, his role is about leadership and set-piece delivery — his free kicks and penalties are Cape Verde's most likely route to goals in Group H against Spain, Uruguay, and Saudi Arabia.
Apollon Limassol · 35
Age 35, but brings European league experience that most Cape Verde players lack
Cape Verde's most experienced attacker. Rodrigues has played in Turkey, Saudi Arabia, Greece, and now Cyprus — a level of exposure that gives Cape Verde tactical awareness beyond what their FIFA ranking suggests. His directness on the wing provides an outlet on the counter.
