“Cabo Verde are an organised, disciplined team. I watch their faces: they’re very happy – the players, and the coach. This is very important.”
On his part, Forlan added, “They’re enjoying it [World Cup games]. This is their first time, the first time they have qualified, as well, to the next phase.
“They are playing Argentina. They don’t have anything to lose. They are very experienced players, physically strong.
“The keeper [Vozinha] is doing really well. They are like the underdogs, which you get at every World Cup.”
Cape Verde will face World Cup champions Argentina in the Round of 32 this week.
Favor As Higher Power?
(The hidden truth)
Some positions in life cannot be held or retained for long if you are not favored. Favor is higher power. You are not the only one desiring, deserving, connected, powerful or qualified. Some positions in life, opportunities, success, achievements, triumphs, selection, approvals, power and position, elevation, patronage, etc, are mainly through favor. Favor is silent, spiritual and higher power. For spiritual guidance, other solutions, call/Whatsapp Dr J.A. Faros on 07030514063. With God, all are possible.
