Curacao Defy the Odds!

Curaçao has stunned the football world, becoming the smallest nation ever to qualify for a men’s FIFA World Cup after a dramatic, hard-fought draw with Jamaica. This tiny Caribbean island — long considered an underdog on the global stage — has shattered expectations with a historic, goosebump-raising achievement. Under the guidance of veteran coach Dick Advocaat, they went unbeaten through qualification and leaned heavily on players from the Dutch-Caribbean diaspora. At 78, Advocaat could become the oldest coach in World Cup history. 

We dissect that - alongside Scotland's return to the World Cup and preview the upcoming round of Premier League matches - only here on Just For Kicks. ​
