When shown the number of Instagram followers he had gained after helping tiny Cape Verde hold off powerhouse Spain in his team's World Cup debut, 40-year-old goalkeeper Vozinha gasped and laughed, in shock.
He was speaking shortly after Monday's stunning 0-0 draw in Atlanta against the European champions, when he had gone from about 50,000 followers to more than 1 million.
Less than 24 hours after the game, Vozinha already had nearly 10 million Instagram followers - more than NBA superstar Victor Wembanyama (6. 2 million) and NFL quarterback Patrick Mahomes (6. 4 million).
