Ever wonder how World Cup teams practice?      Ever wonder how World Cup teams practice?   
  
The Crow’s Nest decided to find out at the Rowdies Training Facility in Tampa. There, the island nation of Cabo Verde prepares for its third match against Saudi Arabia.  
  
Cabo Verde has become the story of the World Cup, drawing with two former World Cup champions, Spain and Uruguay. 
 
Midfielder Kevin Pina, — who scored Cabo Verde’s first ever World Cup goal against Uruguay — says the historic wins have not changed the team’s mindset. 
 
“The mentality is similar to the last two games, we want to win and we want to evolve,” Pina said during the team’s June 24 practice.  
  
The most attention, however, has gone to the team’s 40-year-old goalkeeper Vozinha, who made seven saves in the nil-nil draw against Spain. Vozinha has gained over 15 million Instagram followers since the match.    
  
A win against Saudi Arabia tonight would send Cabo Verde to the knockout stages in their first ever world cup appearance.   
 
“First time here, and, we hope, not the last to come here,” Blue Sharks defender Diney Borges said.  
  
Tune into Cabo Verde’s match against at 8pm to find out if Tampa’s team extends their stay in the Bay.

Fire crews are actively responding to a fire at th Fire crews are actively responding to a fire at the Marine Science Laboratory (MSL). 

While the cause is unclear, The Crow’s Nest received reports of either a chemical fire or a lightning strike as the cause.

At approximately 5 p.m., USF St. Petersburg students were met with sirens and a scene of smoke billowing from the peninsula of the St. Petersburg campus. University faculty and staff working near the area are being evacuated. 

The MSL is among the oldest buildings on the St. Petersburg campus, where the campus’s first classes were held in 1965. 

It was originally opened in 1939 as a maritime service training station. It currently houses research labs and faculty offices for the Marine Science Program.

This is a developing story.

The thought of an early graduation is a harrowing The thought of an early graduation is a harrowing thought for third year digital communications and multimedia journalism major Sophia Lowrie, who said that she wishes they had more time to assimilate to life on a college campus before being thrust into adult life. 

She is not the only one.

Whether the next steps involve graduate school or entering the workforce, many of the seniors at the University of South Florida St. Petersburg are feeling similarly anxious and uncertain in the weeks leading up to their graduation dates.
Nico Gramatica did not grow up playing football. Nico Gramatica did not grow up playing football. 

The sophomore kicker for the University of South Florida played club soccer and only started kicking footballs in his sophomore year of high school. 

“My dad kicked, my uncle kicked and people were asking me, ‘Why don’t you come out, try it for a year and see if you like it. If you don’t like it, you can be done after one year,’” Gramatica said. “I went out, had a great time and got to make some really good friends.”
