The Green Cape national team became the sensation of the World Championship.

In their first participation in the prestigious tournament, the team managed to go unbeaten in the strong Group H and secured a ticket to the Round of 16 match against Argentina.

Despite grim predictions, the representatives of a country with fewer than half a million inhabitants once again captured the hearts of football fans – they lost only after extra time 2:3.

The leader of the Green Cape team, Vozinha, has been marveling at the magic of the World Championship for some time – he delights in being recognized as the most popular goalkeeper on the social network "Instagram” with 20.7 million followers.

After the match against the Argentinians, supporters filmed a special act by Vozinha.

At the full-time whistle, Vozinha went around lifting his teammates who had thrown themselves to the ground in disappointment, telling them not to be so despondent and instead be proud of their performance.

He lifted his grieving teammates off the grass, stating that they should only be proud of such a tenacious fight against the world champions.

After the match, Vozinha was also pleased with the compliments from Argentina's team leader Lionel Messi.

"He hugged me and said that I played excellently and that people should admire such a performance. It was incredible to hear these words from such a player as L. Messi.”
