World Cup 2026: Curacao's Eloy Room on his 'perfect game'
Published 1 week, 1 day ago

Remarkably, his performance came just days after conceding seven to Germany in their opening match of the tournament. The 37-year-old tells Mani Djazmi how he, and the team, recovered from that loss and why his display in Kansas was perfect for a goalkeeper.
