Damn I need to go diving there

Fun fact: There are no large predatory animals, venomous snakes, or dangerous spiders on the islands.

The tourism boom they are about to have will be wild

Cape Verde 
Cinderella of the tournament. A number of power rankings I saw coming into the World Cup had them ranked 48/48 yet they managed draws against 2 of the top 3 nations in the world and made it out of group on their debut. Definitely worthy of being appreciated

I had never heard of Cape Verde until maybe a year ago and sure didn’t think they would make a splash at the World Cup.

They are going to get a major tourism boost due to this WC. I know I went down the Cape Verde rabbit hole because I had never heard of the place before this tournament

I think Cape Verde will receive a boost in tourism

Honestly would impress me if the US could pull this off, YES even as well as we're playing now. This is just a bonkers achievement for a small island nation

I would go.

That goalie is going to be a hero there.

Mainly knew about Cape Verde due to general geography, but learned a few years ago that the great modern jazz artist Horace Silver (one of my faves) was the son of an immigrant from Cape Verde. He wrote a famous modern jazz standard in honor of his dad, "Song for my Father":
That's his dad in the picture.
Fun fact no. 1, Steely Dan used the opening piano notes of that song to open their big hit, "Rikki Don't Lose That Number".
Fun fact no. 2, when Portuguese explorers found the Cape Verde Islands, they not only were uninhabited, but had NEVER been inhabited.
