Cape Verde has no intention of stopping now. Having qualified for the World Cup Round of 16 in their debut appearance, the Blue Sharks approach their clash against Argentina with ambition and composure.

At the press conference, Deroy Duarte insisted that his team feels no particular pressure ahead of facing Lionel Messi and his teammates.

We achieved our first goal by qualifying for the World Cup. The second was to get through the group stage, and we've done that. This match against Argentina is another chance to make history. So, why not?

The 26-year-old midfielder draws confidence from strong performances against Spain and Uruguay, fueling belief in another upset:

The ball is round. We've already shown we can compete with the top teams.

For Duarte, the support pouring in from fans around the globe only boosts the squad's motivation, as they remain determined to extend their remarkable World Cup journey.
