Cabo Verde could make history today by being the smallest African nation and 2nd smallest overall to make it past the group stage.

Cape Verde vs Saudi Arabia has come out of nowhere to be the most exciting game playing today.

If Uruguay loses to Spain all that CV needs is a tie to leave their group in 2nd place.

EDIT:

~~Iceland holds the record as the country with the smallest population to make it to the knockout stage~~, CV could become the smallest nation to do this!
