Cape Verde vs Saudi Arabia: World Cup Live Streams
Cape Verde are one of four debutants at this World Cup. Many worried about Bubista’s newcomers potentially being embarrassed in North America, but the Blue Sharks have more than held their own. Draws with Spain (0-0) and more recently Uruguay (a thrilling 2-2 featuring a Kevin Pina banger) mean the small African nation is one win away from a history place in the knockout phase. Goalkeeper Vozinha is now a bona fide World Cup legend.
A draw would be enough for Cape Verde to go through in second (if Spain beat Uruguay), or take a potential best third-place spot (if Uruguay draw and finish the group stage having scored more goals than Cape Verde). In the case of the latter, they may need results in other groups to go their way.
As for Saudi Arabia, they must win on matchday three to advance to the round of 32, and hope Spain beat Uruguay. They have a route via third place, too, but it’s unlikely.
The fact that the Saudis need all three points means they will probably play on the front foot here, but Cape Verde showed against Uruguay that they are capable of playing some flamboyant soccer on the break. Against all odds, Cape Verde are on the verge of doing something remarkable.
