So today I, a guy from Portugal, decided to make a bit of a joke with my Spanish Managers because I saw that there would be a world cup game today between Cape Verde and Spain.

Surely an easy win for a massive favourite like Spain, especially against a small island Nation with a population of 500k.

So this afternoon in the operational managers group chat I sent the following message:

"- How about today? 1 goal for Yamine Lamal and 1 goal for Jovane??"

2 people reacted with laughing emojis, the rest didn't respond.

The group chat has 9 people, 7 of which are above me in the company hierarchy.

I might get sacked.

Now if you don't know this, football is big, very big. In Spain its a - everyone was offline in teams 5 minutes before the match - big.

Oof

TL;DR: Made a joke about Sports, the Cape Verdean Superstars made sure to screw me over and make their whole country proud at the same time.

Edit: I obviously know they won't really fire me for this. I'm honestly just trying to throw even more shade to Spain 🇨🇻🇨🇻🇨🇻🇨🇻🇨🇻🇨🇻🇨🇻
