FIFA World Cup: Cape Verde’s historic victory tarnished, captain accused of rape

According to foreign media, 36-year-old captain Ryan Mendes has been accused by the team’s Brazilian female translator.

The team’s Brazilian female translator has accused captain Ryan Mendes of forcibly entering a room in a New Zealand hotel in March and torturing and raping her.

It should be noted that Cape Verde, a small archipelago located off the west coast of Africa, is also the smallest country to make it to the knockout round, which is a big surprise of the World Cup.
