「国歌斉唱のはるか前から泣いていた」:2026年ワールドカップ出場選手の1週間
ワールドカップに出場する1200人の選手の一人になるというのは、どんな感じなのでしょうか?キュラソー代表FWのジェルヴァン・カスターニールが、サッカー界最大の大会での実際の生活について語ります。

Curaçao are a team of record-breakers. They're the smallest nation to ever qualify for the World Cup, on both population and area. They have the tournament's oldest-ever head coach, and they began with the longest odds of winning it.
Just over half of Curaçao's 158,000 population could fit into the Houston Stadium where they played their opener against Germany . The small Dutch Caribbean island is formally part of the Netherlands, with 25 of their 26-man squad born there.
When Curaçao travelled to the United States for the World Cup, few gave them a chance of getting a goal, let alone a result.
