What a load of bollocks! Cape Verde were absolutely robbed of their first-ever World Cup qualification, and it's a f*cking disgrace!
Controversial decision denies Cape Verde
The Blue Sharks needed a win to secure their spot in the 2026 finals, and they thought they'd done it with a stunning 4-3 comeback in injury time. But no, the ref had to go and spoil the party by disallowing their winner for offside. What a muppet!
Replays clearly showed the goalscorer was onside, but with no VAR in use for African qualifiers, the decision stood. It's a f*cking joke, mate. The beautiful game strikes again!
Fans erupt in anger
Football fans everywhere were rightly p*ssed off with the decision. One fan even shared a picture showing the goalscorer was onside. It's criminal, I tell ya!
Another fan said, "THIS is why we need VAR as a standard everywhere on international level." You're damn right, mate. It's about time footy caught up with the times.
Cape Verde's World Cup dreams still alive
Despite this absolute sh*tshow, Cape Verde can still qualify for their first World Cup with a win against Eswatini on Monday. They're top of Group D in CAF World Cup Qualifying, with 20 points from nine games.
If they secure qualification, they'll become the second-smallest nation to appear at the tournament. It's a tall order, but I reckon they've got the bollocks to do it. Come on, lads! Show 'em what you're made of!
