The Blue Wave from tiny Curaçao will be making World Cup history
BOCA RATON (US): (May 27) There won’t be millions of people from Curaçao cheering on their national team in the World Cup, because Curaçao doesn’t have millions of people.
Not even close.
Before the tournament even begins, Curaçao has already crafted a story like none other in World Cup history. A tiny island country — autonomous territory, if you prefer — of about 156,000 residents in the Caribbean is now the smallest, both in terms of population and land mass, to make it to soccer’s biggest stage. And if that wasn’t enough, it’s doing so under a coach in Dick Advocaat who, at 78, is about to become the oldest the tournament has ever seen.
