Cape Verde’s tiny football nation just stunned the world by reaching the knockout stage of the World Cup — the smallest country ever to do so — and Columbus Crew defender Steven Moreira was right in the heart of it. Ranked 67th globally, they toppled giants like Spain and Argentina, holding Spain to a 0-0 draw behind a legendary goalkeeper and nearly pulling off a miracle against Messi’s Argentina. Moreira, who joked about Messi not recognizing him before the match, was thrilled to share a friendly moment with the legend before kickoff. The emotional high? Seeing his parents beam and the president greet the squad back home. Now, he’s back in action, ready to lead the MLS All-Stars against LIGA MX — and he’s already dreaming of more history.
