In 2011, Julius Malema & the ANCYL championed Nationalisation mnes and local mineral refining. What did Zuma do? Expelled him to please foreign interests. Fast forward to today. Zuma copies Malema’s exact 15-year-old script word for word at MK Party rallies, and his non thinking followers cheer it on like it’s brand new revolutionary logic. The absolute jokes write themselves! 🫵🏾🤡🇿🇦

For those who aren't clear on what I said. The "touch" on Martinez and that on Salah are the exact same thing. One is a foul and the other isn't even looked at.

Egypt hard done by tonight in my view.. congrats to Argentina though.. they still scored the goals they needed.

[Black iPod @The_Aards]

Exactly! The problem in this game wasn't VAR, it was the ref's interpretation of what constitutes a foul. I strongly believe any other ref would reach different conclusions looking at the same footage.

[A Dog That Bites @SkepeMatsebane]

One is a “clear foul”, the other isn’t because “there is no touch”.
Okay.

[Black iPod @The_Aards]

There had not been inconsistencies in the way fouls were called through out the game.

It was a clear foul on the one end, not a slight touch on the pinky toe.

VAR had been consistently applied through out the tournament.

CAF 2024 Semi-Final: Nigeria Vs South Africa

This was hailed as the correct way to use VAR. Fast forward to 2026, same situation, and people are writing think pieces...

[Black iPod @The_Aards]

I feel like African refs are made to clear a higher bar to be at the WC.

[Black iPod @The_Aards]

looking at the amount of blunders that french ref made yesterday, I'm beginning to doubt there was any behind the scenes corruption. Dude is completely clueless. He definitely shouldn't be at the WC

Uhm, who is investigating?

[RT @RT_com]

❗️FBI investigating Argentine Football Association over suspicions of money laundering as team chases World Cup title — La Nacion

Probe centers on transfer of 'hundreds of millions of dollars' through US financial system

'FBI agents & federal prosecutors taking testimony'

What does it mean?❌

FIFA + USMNT= Mafia! #FIFAWORLDCUP

Gianni Infantino is the most pathetic FIFA president. He makes Sepp Blatter look most ethical.

[Joseph S Blatter @SeppBlatter]

Red cards are not overturned by political phone calls. They are overturned by rules, evidence and independent bodies. If a U.S. President intervenes with the FIFA President — and a player is suddenly cleared before a World Cup knockout match — the question is unavoidable: Quo vadis, FIFA?

Football must never become a playground for political power. #FIFA #WorldCup #GianniInfantino #DonaldTrump

Themba Zwane got a three match ban over a touch on the face, no violent conduct, no studs, just a touch on the face.

[ESPN @espn]

Breaking: Folarin Balogun will be available to play in USA's Round of 16 match against Belgium on Monday, FIFA announced.

The FIFA Disciplinary Committee has suspended the red card issued to the USA striker during their Round of 32 win over Bosnia and Herzegovina.

[A Dog That Bites @SkepeMatsebane]

I am expecting another smart answer tonight. Sometimes just ride your luck and shut up. You were no genius. You got a lucky shot at minute 90 and scored.

[Black iPod @The_Aards]

If politics have no place in sports why is Panyaza here?

[Black iPod @The_Aards]

Congratulations to Morocco.

But nothing beats locally bred talent.
I celebrate BafanaBafana's achievement more.
