@thobelandlebe@KgasiWilly@appiecule We're, however, that 1st game wasn't the one to employ that tactic as we also needed to register points from the onset. If we weren't good defensively, Mexico would've thrashed us 5-0 or 6-0.
Thierry Henry on Lionel Messi becoming the oldest player ever to score a World Cup hat-trick and the player with the most goals from outside the box in World Cup history:
🗣️ “I honestly don't know what more there is left to say about Lionel Messi anymore. Every time you think he has reached the top of the mountain, he somehow finds another peak that nobody else has ever climbed before.”
“The oldest player to score a World Cup hat-trick. Just stop and think about that for a second. At an age when most players are retired, coaching, or sitting in television studios, Messi is still breaking records on the biggest stage in football.”
“And it's not just the hat-trick that amazes me. He now has more World Cup goals from outside the box than anyone in history. That tells you everything about the level of technique, vision, and confidence we are talking about.”
“These are not lucky goals. These are moments of genius. The type of goals where everyone in the stadium knows what he wants to do, but nobody can stop him from doing it anyway.”
“What makes this even more incredible is that this is his sixth World Cup. Six World Cups. Different generations, different teammates, different opponents, yet the same outcome every single time Lionel Messi deciding matches.”
“People always ask what makes certain players special. Well, special players break records. Legends create records. Messi is doing both at the same time while carrying the expectations of an entire nation.”
“I've played against some of the greatest footballers in history, I've watched some of the greatest footballers in history, but what Messi continues to do at 38 years old simply doesn't make sense.”
“This is no longer about talent. This is no longer about numbers. This is football history unfolding right before our eyes, and every single match feels like another chapter in a story that nobody thought was possible.”
@kingMrR63@1kokotela@AfricaFirsts As a South African 🇿🇦, we're proud of Papa Aliko Dangote 🇳🇬, I'm truly inspired by him. Please don't bash Black South Africans 🇿🇦 ,we've only been partaking in our economy for 32 years, in the next 5 years, there'll be more of us on that list.

❤️🇿🇦 The entire South African national team lined up to take pictures and sign the jersey of the ONLY kid who showed up to visit them at their hotel in Pachuca.
They also signed his World Cup album and the coach gifted him the South Africa jersey. 🏆👏🏼
@odedanilo Instead of focusing on the negative, why don't you highlight the difference each of them made? None of them inherited a Utopia but they all did the best they could with the cards that they were dealt.
These cooperate matters are quite interesting…….
Manngwe Mining says Accelormettal South Africa is bullying them into buying their shares at a R1 share whilst halting purchases of Iron Ore in the interim.
Sadly whilst those in cooperate suites are engaged in their discussions, the grass has suffered without getting their salaries on time.
Will be an interesting case study of the mining sector…….
Collen Kebinatshipi 🇧🇼 after his performance in Xiamen now holds the World Lead in the 100m and 400m!
No man has ever accomplished that feat in modern-day athletics.
Rob Bentele shares the story of his Australian father and a Black woman mother.
He says his father was a young Austrian man, his dad was back packer traveling the globe. He met his mom in the rural areas of Matubatuba called eMakhambane. He paid Lobola in 1986, they got married and lived in a Caravan at their family homestead. His sister and him were born into true rural Zulu culture. Eventually, they moved to Empangeni but they still would go home every chance they got.
@Morweng14@Knick_RSA Indeed, Deputy President Paul Mashatile has been Acting President on multiple occasions, he did even during the signing of the 2nd President Health Compact and declaring official funerals. I think this guy is lying, creating controversy for clout and the silly likes.
