History made! 🇨🇼⚽ Just watched Curaçao play their first-ever World Cup match.
While I am Aruban, my roots run incredibly deep in Curaçao—my grandfather, his father, their siblings, and generations of the Simon family before them all come from the island. Seeing them on the world stage hits very close to home.
Going up against four-time World Champion Germany, everyone wrote the boys off and expected a total blowout. And yes, while the final scoreboard read a tough 7-1 loss, the numbers don't tell the whole story.
Against all odds, the team showed incredible resilience. They didn't just defend—they fought back, broke through, and scored their first-ever World Cup goal. And what a beautiful, unforgettable goal it was! 🙌🔥
It hurts to lose by a big margin, but the experience, the immense pride, and the joy of seeing the flag at the World Cup is massive. A historic day for the family roots! Mi ta orguyoso di boso! 🇨🇼❤️
