Since their historic World Cup appearance, the Blue Sharks have been in freefall, losing to inferior opponents and becoming embroiled in a controversy that has sparked national outrage.

Glory is fleeting. Just a few months ago, Cape Verde was shining brightly on the global football stage, drawing with Spain and Uruguay before pushing Messi's Argentina to extra time.

But now, after a string of poor results and a scandal that has infuriated the entire nation, the team is facing an all-encompassing crisis.

Following consecutive defeats to Rwanda and Mali, Cape Verde's prospects of securing a place at the African Cup of Nations have become extremely bleak—a disaster by any measure.

After the second loss, videos circulated on social media showing some players attending a party at a venue in the capital alongside members of the Rwandan national team, the very team that had just beaten them. The head coach has come under particularly severe criticism.

Many Cape Verde fans are calling for Betencourt's immediate dismissal, not only because of the poor results but also because of the team's dismal performance on the pitch. The lack of attacking efficiency was especially evident against Rwanda, and they were completely outclassed in every aspect against Mali.

The African Cup of Nations is Cape Verde's primary objective, and that goal is now in jeopardy. The island nation cannot afford any more mistakes; they must win both upcoming matches against Liberia and then find a way to exact revenge against Mali and Rwanda.
