Cape Verde’s Vozinha says U.S. visa issues stopped mom witnessing World Cup heroics (Gift Article)

Vozinha was spectacular for Cape Verde. This is shameful.

“I cried after the game because I grew up with my grandparents when I was a kid, and they could not be there. They passed away a few years ago. My mum could not be here either for a visa issue, and the money we had to pay for it. We did not manage to do this in time.”

The Cabo Verde GK Vozinha’s mother couldn’t come because of visa issues. Cabo Verde is on the State Department’s pathetic, racist list of restricted countries. www.nytimes.com/athletic/736...

I love the World Cup because I knew nothing about this man before today and now I would march into battle for him www.nytimes.com/athletic/736...
