Cabo Verde's Goalkeeper Smashes Jalen Brunson's IG Follower Count Despite Knicks Championship Win After Dominating World Cup Game vs. Spain
The 40-year-old goalkeeper stopped 27 Spain shots as Cape Verde earned a 0-0 draw and set off celebrations at home.
- On Monday in Atlanta, 40-year-old goalkeeper Josimar Dias, known as Vozinha, recorded a clean sheet against Spain, who controlled 75 per cent of possession during the scoreless World Cup match.
- Despite the historic performance, Vozinha's 59-year-old mother, Ana Candida Evora, watched from across the Atlantic, unable to make the 6,400-km trip due to high costs and previous U.S. visa bond requirements.
- Washington dropped the $15,000 bond requirement last month for World Cup ticket holders, but Mario Semedo, president of the national football federation, noted that airfare and accommodation remain significant hurdles for the 10-island archipelago.
- House of Representatives Democratic leader Hakeem Jeffries called on the administration to help Evora, asking Secretary of State Marco Rubio to ensure she can attend Sunday's match in Miami.
- As the Blue Sharks prepare for Sunday's match against Uruguay, Davidson Evora noted the family has not yet made plans, though he called the potential for his mother to attend "something wonderful.
