Spain shock and Vozinha fame, but all still chill in camp Cape Verde

TAMPA, Florida, June 20 : The biggest surprise inside Cape Verde's World Cup camp is not the lack of star names but the lack of fuss.

A few days after holding European champions Spain to a draw and thrusting goalkeeper Vozinha into global celebrity, the Blue Sharks were preparing for Uruguay at a modest training ground behind a gas station and a cannabis dispensary in Tampa.

The chilled camp atmosphere survived Vozinha's transformation from a largely unknown journeyman goalkeeper to a World Cup phenomenon with 14.6 million followers and counting on Instagram.

Player of the Match after a string of saves against Spain, Vozinha gave a tearful post-match interview in which he expressed his disappointment that his deceased grandparents and his mother were unable to witness the match.
