Imagine this sort of ball knowledge being coached at under 13/14 for a young Rele, WitBooi, Mdu,Mbuthuma,Vilakazi etc. When you hear such stories, you then understand the disparities in quality between us and Europeans.
🚨🗣️NEW: Thierry Henry on Germany 2:1 win against Ivory Coast:
“Football can be cruel, but today it was downright robbery. Ivory Coast didn’t lose because Germany were better; they lost because football doesn’t reward dominance, it rewards moments. And when that moment arrived, Adingra treated it like a hot potato. At this level, you cannot miss chances that simple. The goal was staring at him, begging to be touched, and somehow he found a way to turn gold into dust.
For most of the game, Ivory Coast had Germany chasing shadows. They controlled the rhythm, won the battles, dictated the tempo. Germany looked like passengers on a bus Ivory Coast were driving. Kessié should probably be leaving this match with two goals and the headlines, not with regrets and a defeat.
But this is where elite football separates itself. While Ivory Coast were wasting opportunities, Julian Nagelsmann was playing chess. Every substitution shifted the board. Every decision changed the momentum. Undav was magnificent, a problem Ivory Coast never solved. In fact, I was asking myself one question for 75 minutes: why is Havertz still on the pitch? The moment Nagelsmann changed things, Germany came alive.
That’s the difference. One team controlled the game, the other controlled the outcome. Ivory Coast wrote the story, Germany wrote the ending.
And football only remembers the ending.”

Low-key, HipHop is the one genre that requires you to have serious knowledge about everything. From cars to fashion, music, movies, politics, history, sports, books, places, events, even art.
If you're not tapped in, the bars will most likely fly over your head.
That's why rap is for smart people. 😉 😉
My "Roman Empire is the realization that my life is a lottery win. Somewhere in Sudan, Pålestine, iran, Afghanistan, Iraq or Congo, there is a boy smarter than me. He is more disciplined, more resilient, and holds more potential in his single finger than I do in my entire career.
The only difference? I am siting in a train and he is sting in the rubble of his dreams.
My "bad days" are his wildest dreams.
My "burnout" is a luxury he can't afford because his only job is staying alive.
It's geographical luck and it's a haunting injustice that we all refuse to acknowledge and look away
we live on a planet where trees warn each other of danger through underground networks. where octopuses dream. where elephants return to the bones of their dead and stand over them in silence. where bees communicate through dance, showing each other where to fly. where flowers bloom...where crows remember human faces -especially those who were cruel to them - and pass that memory on to their young. where ants build entire cities. where cats purr at a frequency that can help heal bones. where forests, after fires, grow flowers first.
