The legend of Cape Verde: How an island of half a million built the best team at the World Cup

On June 29, two of the most decorated programs in soccer history packed their bags and went home. Germany, a four-time world champion, lost a penalty shootout to Paraguay after a 1-1 draw, missing three spot kicks. Hours later, the Netherlands, a three-time finalist ranked seventh in the world, fell the same way, to Morocco. Both were eliminated in the round of 32, the very first knockout round of the expanded tournament. These were, by all accounts, colossal disappointments. But look at who was still standing. Cape Verde, an island nation of roughly 525,000 people appearing in its first World Cup, had already held former champions Spain and Uruguay to draws, finishing second in its group, unbeaten. They would go on to heroically push defending champion Argentina, the reigning World Cup Champions, to extra time before losing 3-2. Their journey is now over, but their story still deserves to be told.  Cape Verde’s squad was drawn largely from solid professionals scattered across the top flights of smaller and mid-ranking European and Middle Eastern leagues—Portugal, Cyprus, Turkey, Bulgaria and beyond. There were no global superstars, and only a couple of players at genuinely elite clubs like Benfica and Villarreal; most plied

NHL teams get creative for 2026-27 schedule release

Social teams enlist players, cool graphics to announce matchups © Boston Bruins/ Tampa Bay Lightning By Anna Kulesa @akulesa_ NHL.com Staff Writer July 16, 2026 The Stanley Cup for NHL social teams is officially here: schedule release day. On Thursday, NHL teams posted creative videos to announce their 2026-27 schedules on social media. The Boston Bruins admins conveniently took a vacation leaving defenseman Nikita Zadorov in charge of posting the team’s upcoming schedule. Zadorov recruited teammates Charlie McAvoy and Jeremy Swayman, Bruins mascot Blades and anthem singer Todd Angilly to brainstorm ideas for the post. The group ended up just posting the schedule on X. The Dallas Stars tried to help hockey fans not turn into their parents. Montreal Canadiens forward Jake Evans attempted to fool his teammates with the team’s 1992-93 schedule. Teammate Alex Newhook was impressed with all the Heritage logos until it dawned on him, something wasn’t right. The St. Louis Blues kept it simple, posting a video of the team’s schedule on a PDF with the caption, “this could’ve been an email.” “Smashville Night Live” announced the Nashville Predators schedule. New York Islanders interns Cal Clutterbuck and Matt Martin were forced to work together on the schedule release to

UK proposes voluntary overnight social media curfew for older teens – Al Jazeera

The latest government measure aimed at curbing digital harm comes after an under-16 social media ban was announced last month. The United Kingdom has proposed an overnight social media curfew for older teenagers as part of the government’s latest push to protect minors from digital harm, though users will be permitted to bypass the restrictions. The Labour administration announced the plans on Wednesday, outlining a six-hour default lockout from midnight to 6am for 16- and 17-year-olds on platforms such as Instagram, TikTok and YouTube. Under the proposal, highly engaging mechanisms, such as autoplay videos and infinite scrolling, would also be deactivated by default for this age group to encourage better sleep and focus. The initiative follows a June announcement by outgoing Prime Minister Keir Starmer, who unveiled a blanket ban on social media for children under 16 slated to take effect in 2027. While the younger cohort faces a strict prohibition on major networks, ministers chose a softer approach for older adolescents. The UK’s restrictions reflect a rapidly growing global crackdown on young people’s social media access.  » Read More
