How Far Can Cape Verde Go?

from The Soccernomics Podcast · host Simon Kuper, Stefan Szymanski, Ashish Malhotra

After Stefan takes us back to the 1974 Poland-West Germany World Cup match, we talk about the fairytale story of Cape Verde so far, and discuss how far they can go in this year's tournament. We also talk more broadly about smaller countries like Portugal, Croatia and Palestine, whose teams have long overachieved based on their populations, GDP and global football experience.
