Seeing this interview, I got a lump in my throat

World Cup goalkeeper post-match interview
Said he cried
Not because of losing the game
It's because of the visa
His mother wanted to come and watch the match live
But the visa was not approved
Because they couldn't gather enough money
He said:
“I grew up with my grandparents
They are no longer here
Unable to see this moment
My mother also couldn't come”
Then he added:
“I am happy for the people of Fogo Island”
For some people's World Cup
It really is a once-in-a-lifetime event
Some people step onto that stage
Behind them is an entire nation's weight
Soccer is truly damn cruel
And truly damn moving
