The Goalkeeper Who Broke the Internet: From 50K to 7 Million
from The Football Show · host Break FC & BIZBROS
A forty-year-old goalkeeper from a second tier Portuguese club just held Spain scoreless... and then went from fifty thousand Instagram followers to over seven million in a single day. We break down Vozinha, the Cape Verde keeper who became the story of the World Cup, and why his seven-save masterclass was no fluke (the stats back him up).Then we get into the FIFA mess... how they tried to stop journalists from asking questions in Spanish at a World Cup hosted partly in Mexico, the backlash, and how fast they folded.Plus: Belgium stumbling against Egypt on Salah's birthday, the travel handicap Iran is being forced to play under, a Korean keeper who just became a dad, and the Spain stat that's almost impossible to believe (Oyarzabal went thirty minutes without a single touch).Five days in, this World Cup is wide open.
