Cape Verde were one of the biggest surprises of the World Cup group stage, securing second place in their group behind Spain and knocking Uruguay out of the competition. The African team will now face defending champions Argentina in a match where they are considered underdogs.
However, Cape Verde's president, Jose Maria Neves, has expressed optimism about his country's chances, stating that the team has the necessary confidence and motivation to pull off another surprise.
" I believe that Cape Verde can beat Argentina 1-0. We play to win. When expectations for a team are low and that team is hungry for victory, anything is possible. A small nation like Cape Verde must always try to surprise. Our national team has 100% confidence, 100% hope and will give everything until the last drop of sweat. That is why we have a 100% chance to beat Argentina ," Neves declared.
Facing Argentina is expected to be the toughest test for Cape Verde in this World Cup, but the African team aims to continue its historic journey with another surprising result.
