Africa was divided as South Africa faced Mexico in the Fifa World Cup opening match on Thursday.
Many cheered for Mexico in what some online called a “successful hate watch”, amid tensions fuelled by recent anti-migrant unrest in South Africa.

> Thomas Tuchel on Arsenal's players set-piece threat:
"When you watch Arsenal closely, you realise their set-pieces are not luck, they're an art form. Every movement is rehearsed, every block is timed, every player knows exactly where the ball will arrive. What impresses me most is the commitment of the players. They treat a corner in the 5th minute with the same importance as a penalty in the 95th.
Declan Rice, Bukayo Saka and the other Arsenal boys bring that mentality into the England camp. They understand the details. They understand that trophies are often decided by moments, and set-pieces create those moments.
Modern football is about margins. Arsenal have turned those margins into a weapon. You can spend all week preparing for their open play, but if you switch off for one corner or one free-kick, they punish you. That's why they are so dangerous and why every coach in Europe studies them."
— Thomas Tuchel
What a cruel world! To imagine that such a talent - a star who proudly flew our national flag with the Uganda Rugby Cranes - fell at the hands of a mob is as alarming as it is devastating. We all hope that there will be justice for this heinous crime. Deepest condolences to his family, the Rugby fraternity, and every fan who cheered him on. May the almighty grant infinite strength to his loved ones during this dark time.
