For the first time ever, tiny Curaçao is competing in the soccer World Cup, the biggest sporting show on Earth.
Curaçao has already crafted a story unlike any other in World Cup history.
A tiny island country or autonomous territory of about 156,000 residents is now the smallest, both in population and land area, to reach soccer’s biggest stage.
And if that wasn’t enough, they’re doing so under a coach in Dick Advocaat who, at 78, is about to become the oldest the tournament has ever seen.
Brenton Balentien is one of the most recognizable faces in Curaçao's fanbase.
