Cape Verde is enjoying a fairytale World Cup , with their performance becoming the story of the tournament.

There was the shock 0-0 draw with Spain in their tournament debut. Then on Sunday, there was another when they drew 2-2 with two-time champions Uruguay in Miami. This now puts them in serious contention for a place in the knockouts.

We would like to hear from Cape Verdeans in the UK and across the globe. What are your thoughts on your nation’s performance so far in the World Cup? Have you been celebrating their progress? Where will you be watching Cape Verde’s next match against Saudi Arabia on Saturday?
