@channelnewsasia: Thousands of fans welcomed home Cape Verde's footballers on Sunday (Jul 5) after the team's historic World Cup debut. The Blue Sharks became the smallest nation by population to reach the knockout stage before their memorable campaign ended with a 3-2 extra-time defeat to defending champions Argentina.

Robert Hayes :

A solid effort by Cape Verde. They lost 3-2 to Argentina, which is actually a respectable scoreline. 🤷‍♂️
