“Not a single player in Hugo Broos’ team heading to the World Cup was born out of the nation, and bar, Lyle Foster, every one of their stars still plays their football in South Africa.” - @ahoworth97

For an African team on the World’s biggest stage, that stat is mad! 🇿🇦 ⚽️

[Ali Howorth @ahoworth97]

Rather than do a normal set of previews. I’m doing something different on my Substack.

Here is my pitch as to why you should support South Africa at the World Cup.

@BradleySweeney @South_ParkFC TBF 2 goals in 31 appearances isn’t a great return for the Sparks… Here’s to hoping to see you more often over the next season 🍻

[James Kieran Smith @TheAnswerIsJ]

Football is always better when you’re surrounded by special characters and good people ❤️⚽️

Season 25/26 done and dusted, but already looking forward to the next 🙌

I hope Tolfs never sees this, but please donate if you can. I was sadly with him at the time of this injury, it was completely freak and he was devastated. Time for the GK union to rally around one of its greatest members and an absolutely brilliant man

@DelDavies04 Congrats Del 🙌 Well done bru ❤️

[James Kieran Smith @TheAnswerIsJ]

@BigShaw1 This weekend, whilst I had possession of the ball, the referee stopped play to check if an opposition player required treatment…

About 10mins later, a teammate lay injured in my own box, only for the ref to wait 8 seconds, award a corner, and then stop play for treatment 😂

Just make sure you’re keeping those receipts and putting all your pairs of football boots, gloves and travel through as deductible expenses this season…

[Spartan South Midlands Talk @SSMLtalk]

Are we about to see financial declarations come into force from Step 4 😲

The Southern Football League's pre season registration forms contain 'Non Contract Financial Details Form'

Is this a good thing? 🤔

[James Kieran Smith @TheAnswerIsJ]
