Referee and players steal World Cup spotlight
The FIFA World Cup tournament witnessed some unusual events, most notably the emergence of Cape Verde's goalkeeper, Vozinha, who maintained a clean sheet against Spain and became the talk of the crowd after his Instagram followers skyrocketed from less than 50,000 to around 29 million over the weekend. This significantly elevates his market value despite not being attached to any club at the moment. The tournament also drew global attention to young players like Ismaël Siguiri, who transferred to Bayern Munich for approximately 50 million euros, and Gilberto Mura, who delivered an impressive performance in his first World Cup appearance. Additionally, goalkeeper Niland garnered attention for saving a crucial penalty against Brazil. The tournament’s refereeing decisions also made headlines, such as El Salvador's Ivan Barton’s decision to send off Paraguayan player based on a new rule, which made him one of the most prominent refereeing figures in the competition.
