Rom: I want a statue in Curacao

The goalkeeper of the national team of Curaçao, Eloy Rom, commented on his record-breaking performance in the match of the second round of the 2026 World Cup against Ecuador, which ended in a goalless draw. The 37-year-old goalkeeper made World Cup history by making 15 saves in regular time — the best record in the entire history of the tournament, excluding extra time. "I'm proud of it. For me as a goalkeeper, it's almost a perfect match. I'm also very proud of the team because we did it as a whole team. I make saves, but we thought as a team, including the players who came on as a substitute. But yeah, I think I need a statue in Curaçao," Rom said. Thanks to the brilliant performance of their goalkeeper, the Curacao national team not only kept a clean sheet, but also earned the first point in their history at the World Cup. Rom stood, repelling all 15 shots of the opponent in the plane of the goal.
