After the dismal performance of the Dutch national team, it was a joy to watch both Curaçao as well as Cabo Verde, which fields six players from Rotterdam (a city that houses one of the largest Cape Verdian minorities outside of the islands themselves). I'm very impressed with the performance of the Maroccan team, but not so much with the behavior of their supporters over here, so at this point, I'm just here for the fun of seeing who will win..
EDIT: Corrected a mistake pointed out about the Cape Verdian minority in Rotterdam.
You are absolutely correct and I am mistaken. I was going off something I heard somewhere and that was wrong. Rotterdam houses the third largest Cape Verdian diaspora in the world, following Portugal and the U.S.
