Iran, Cape Verde and DR Congo: World Cup history, drama and heartbreak #worldnow

The World Cup isn't just about who wins, it's about the stories that stay with us. Iran remained unbeaten but still went home after visa restrictions, relentless travel, three disallowed goals, and a heartbreaking final twist. Cape Verde, a nation of just 500,000 people, reached the knockout stage on their World Cup debut and captured hearts around the world. DR Congo scored their first World Cup goal in more than 50 years, won their first-ever World Cup match, and reached the knockout stage for the first time, despite conflict and Ebola affecting the country. And that's only part of the story, with several other nations creating their own unforgettable moments. Ahmed Ghoneim explains it all in this episode of More Than Just A Game. Which World Cup fairytale has been your favorite so far? Let us know in the comments below.
