Cape Verde's first trip to the World Cup is more than a soccer milestone; it is a celebration that stretches from the islands to Rhode Island. Bill Rhoden visits a Cape Verdean send-off as fans, local organizers, and Columbus Crew defender Steven Moreira reflect on what this moment means for a country and its global community. The piece captures the pride of a diaspora, the thrill of an underdog story, and the joy around a national team making history on the world's biggest stage. It is about who gets to feel seen when a small nation steps into a massive tournament.
