FIFA told Gillette to cover up its logo because it wasn’t an official World Cup sponsor.
Gillette responded by turning it into a giant blob of shaving foam.

Whenever I hear commentators call Curaçao (pronounced "cure a sow") I think of Api.

They might even hold Ecuador to a draw. Goalie has made 15 saves so far, one short of the WC record.

Ecuador and Cuarcao draw their stage match, o-o.

Eloy Room (37 years old) put on a masterclass in goal. He single-handedly kept Curacao in the game, denying Ecuador clear goal-scoring chances over and over again.

75% possession.
27 shots.
15 shots on target.
3.05 xG.
And somehow... 0 goals.
Ecuador threw everything at Curaçao, but a resilient defensive display earned the underdogs a huge point in a 0-0 draw.
Football can be brutal.

HISTORY IN THE MAKING RIGHT BEFORE OUR EYES!
Right now, live in front of the world!Curaçao - a tiny Caribbean island with just ~150,000 inhabitants — has secured a historic 0-0 draw against Ecuador on their debut at the 2026 World Cup!

A team with zero previous experience at major tournaments has earned a priceless point against a South American side with deep World Cup pedigree and regular qualification.

It wasn’t the dream victory, but this draw is already a fairytale — a genuine David vs Goliath story that proves football can still write incredible scripts.
