July 22 : Cape Verde goalkeeper Vozinha and Norway striker Erling Haaland have been named in the fan-voted FIFA World Cup dream team, with both rewarded for standout performances during unexpected runs by their teams.
Vozinha topped the goalkeeper vote with 39.6 per cent after a string of impressive displays for World Cup debutants Cape Verde, taking the place in the team despite Spain’s Unai Simon winning the Golden Glove, which is selected by a FIFA technical group.
The 40-year-old, who was without a club after leaving Portuguese second-tier side Chaves before the tournament, made seven saves as Cape Verde held eventual champions Spain to a goalless draw. He also helped take eventual finalists Argentina into extra time in the last 32.
Haaland captured 27.5 per cent of the forward votes after leading Norway to their first World Cup quarter-final.
