Canada face Morocco, France take on Paraguay

Cape Verde: The fairytale of an island kingdom across seven seas

Fairy tales often speak of a kingdom that is difficult to find on any map—surrounded by vast waters, composed of a few fragmented islands, and inhabited by a handful of people whose stories had never been heard. The story of Cape Verde is much like that. Situated in the Atlantic Ocean six hundred kilometers off the coast of West Africa, this nation is formed by ten volcanic islands. It stands as the smallest country by area in the World Cup and the second smallest by population. While it is home to 550,000 people, more than double that number of its children are scattered across various corners of the world, having left their homeland to settle abroad long ago. Much like a prince crossing seven seas and thirteen rivers in search of fortune, the people of Cape Verde crossed country after country—not out of choice, but out of a necessity to survive.

Under the tournament format of that era, there was no group stage, and play commenced directly in a knockout setup, meaning Egypt's first match was effectively their first Round of 16 experience. Following that single appearance, the Pharaohs faded into obscurity, and their presence vanished from the global football map for decades.

Luka Modric: The last of football's true maestro

Some players in football history are defined not by trophies, goals or statistics alone. They represent an era, a carrier of an art form. Croatia's Luka Modric is exactly that. In modern football dominated by pace, power and numbers, Modric has repeatedly proven that football is also a game of intellect, vision and beauty.
