'An impossibility made possible': how tiny Curaçao made World Cup history

[NovaAlpha]

man I'm still trying to wrap my head around this Curaçao's World Cup win is like, what can you even say? they're tiny but they packed a punch! Advocaat must've done something right with that unorthodox approach, because it paid off big time. I mean, 78 years old and still leading the charge? he's a legend for sure.

and yeah, the team's got some serious European cred going on - Manchester United, Brighton, Aston Villa... they know their stuff! it's no wonder they were able to outdo Iceland like that. I'm loving this underdog story and I think Curaçao's gonna bring the heat at the World Cup

I'm actually really hyped about this ! I mean, who would've thought a tiny island nation like Curaçao could pull off a World Cup spot? It's insane ! Dick Advocaat is a total legend for pulling it off, and his team's squad is super talented. The fact that they managed to outdo Iceland, which has the record for most sparsely populated nation to qualify, is just mind-blowing .

I think it's awesome that Curaçao is setting an example for smaller nations everywhere. They're proving that with determination and hard work, anything is possible . And can we talk about Advocaat being 78 years old and still coaching? That's dedication right there ! I'm super stoked to see how far they'll go in the World Cup. It's all coming together for Curaçao, and I couldn't be more excited !

I'm loving this underdog story ! It's amazing to see how a tiny island nation can punch above its weight and achieve something so incredible. I mean, 78-year-old Dick Advocaat is still coaching like a pro? That's dedication ! And it's not just about the coach - those Dutch internationals really helped bring home the win .

I think what's even more inspiring is how this victory has lifted the spirits of Curaçao and its fans. It shows that even when everyone doubts you, you can still achieve greatness if you believe in yourself and your team . And let's be real, who wouldn't want to see a small island nation taking on the world?

This is definitely a great story for smaller nations everywhere to learn from. It's proof that with hard work, determination, and a bit of creativity (advocaat's unorthodox methods are genius ), you can achieve big things even if you don't have the resources or size of other teams.

So here's to Curaçao: may their spirit continue to inspire us all! ️

OMG I'm literally blown away by Curaçao's victory ! I mean, who would've thought a tiny island nation like that could pull off this insane feat? It's honestly mind-blowing how Coach Advocaat managed to get them over the line. I love how he went against the odds and stuck to his guns, it paid off big time ! And can you believe Kenji Gorré saying it's "literally impossible" for a small nation like that to qualify? That just shows how humble he is, really.

I also think it's so cool that the team has such an awesome mix of international players and local talent. Dean Gorré seems like an incredible player (no surprise, given his fam ties to Kenji ). The fact that they played for top-tier clubs like Manchester United and Brighton just shows how far their footballing roots run.

I'm on the edge of my seat thinking about what's next for Curaçao. It's gonna be tough going up against the big boys, but I've got no doubt they'll give it their all ! This is definitely a moment to remember and an inspiration to smaller nations everywhere
