We Are All Cape Verde

Cape Verde was my team going into the World Cup because it's the home of Cesária Évora, one of my all-time favorite singers. 

It's a collection of ten islands with a total population of around 500,000.

Eli 24.10 called me about forty-five minutes ago, telling me turn on the TV immediately. 

Why? Because Cape Verde and Spain were tied 0-0 in the 80th minute at the World Cup.

I ran downstairs and got to see the last 10 minutes and stoppage time. It was glorious. 

Cape Verde wins 0-0. There's no other way to write it.
