Vozinha, one of the sensations of the World Cup, is looking for a new club.And the 40-year-old Cape Verde goalkeeper hasn't ruled out playing in Brazil, where fans helped him reach immediate stardom on social media.Vozinha said in an interview with Brazilian journalist and influencer Daniel Braune that his contract with second-division Portuguese club Chaves has ended and he wants to keep playing and is keen on finding a new team following his success in the tournament in the U.S., Mexico and Canada.Vozinha attracted the attention of the soccer world after an outstanding performance in Cape Verde's 0-0 draw with European champion Spain in their opener on June 15. Cape Verde then drew 2-2 with Uruguay, one of South America's soccer powerhouses.I ended my contract with my previous club, Deportivo Chaves, and at the moment I still don't have anything, he said. I'm open to everything. Let's see what comes up.Vozinha said he wouldn't mind playing in Brazil, the country where another influencer, Casimiro Miguel, known as Caz, helped him go from about 50,000 Instagram followers to nearly 16 million by promoting the goalkeeper's account.It would be good, Vozinha said, smiling, in the interview published in Braunes YouTube channel. Well see.Vozinha said he definitely wants to try to make it to Brazil, at least to visit.If I have the opportunity, I'd like to go, also to thank everyone for all of their support," he said. "And I think that many of my teammates want to go as well.Vozinha said he spent time in Brazil when his former team in Angola, Progresso do Sambizanga, did its preseason in the country.He said his idols while growing up included Belgian goalkeeper Michel Preud'homme, Dutchman Edwin van der Sar and Gianluigi Buffon of Italy.His dream right now is to help Cape Verde competing in the World Cup for the first time advance from the group stage.A win over Saudi Arabia on Friday in Houston will be enough to secure the team a spot in the round of 32, which would spark renewed celebrations in the nation of about half a million people off Africas West coast.My dream, and the dream of all Cape Verdeans, is to reach the next round, he said. It's huge just to be in the World Cup, and to advance when no one thought that we could even get a point, would be extraordinary.___AP World Cup: https://apnews.com/fifa-world-cup

BBC actress Sarah Hadland sparked a social media storm after openly admiring Nigerian goalkeeper Maduka Okoye during Tuesday's edition of This Morning.The 55-year-old Miranda star appeared on the ITV programme alongside Stephen Mangan and Ardal O'Hanlon to promote their West End play The Truth, but the conversation soon veered towards the World Cup.When asked about watching the tournament, Hadland became visibly flustered, declaring: "I will be watching now I've seen the Nigerian goalkeeper. Have you seen him?! Wowee, thank you very much!"She continued: "I mean, he's absolutely gorgeous. I don't care if he can do Shakespeare. Looking lovely in a tight top, thank you."The segment quickly drew criticism from viewers who accused Hadland of double standards."If a man spoke about a female athlete like this on national television he would lose his job and be slated as a sex pest by the media," one viewer fumed on X.Another agreed, writing: "Million percent. He would be classed as a creepy predator but when its a woman doing it, its all [bleeps] and giggles."A third commenter added: "The double standard in society is real. Women can talk on tv like that but men can't in the same manner."Others suggested Hadland would be among the first to complain about sexism were the roles reversed.Not everyone was critical of the actress, however, with some viewers pushing back against the complaints."Honestly, get a bloody life, I think it's great that she's got an opinion. Bring it on!" one supporter wrote.Another pointed out the historical context, stating: "Men have and continue to sexualise and fantasise about women in sport for years. Relax."The debate highlighted ongoing tensions around gender and objectification in media, with opinions sharply divided on whether Hadland's remarks warranted the level of criticism they received.Trending video of actress Sarah Hadland admiring Nigerias goalkeeper Maduka Okoye. pic.twitter.com/hCBEFyLJ8c Emmanuella Terfa (@EmmanuellaTerfa) June 24, 2026 There was one notable oversight in Hadland's enthusiasm, however Nigeria failed to qualify for the 2026 World Cup in North America.The Super Eagles were eliminated in the second round of qualifying after losing to DR Congo on penalties, meaning Okoye will not feature at the tournament.The 26-year-old Udinese goalkeeper shot to viral fame following Nigeria's friendly against Portugal, where he kept Cristiano Ronaldo largely quiet despite a 2-1 defeat.Social media users subsequently dubbed him the "sexiest footballer in the world," with Okoye himself admitting to Ahlan Dubai: "Honestly, I think I was not prepared for this because it was quite big."Our Standards: The GB News Editorial Charter
