Your dad is not wrong. I even have written on it once.

Morocco shows up as MAR on scoreboards because FIFA's country codes do not always come from the English name.

A lot of them come from French, which is the working language FIFA has used since it was founded in Paris in 1904. Morocco in French is Le Maroc. First three letters: MAR.

And Morocco is not alone. This happens more than people realise.

Germany is GER, which tracks in English. But then you get to Ivory Coast, which shows up as CIV, from Côte d'Ivoire. Algeria is ALG from Algérie. Haiti is HAI from Haïti. Switzerland is SUI from Suisse. Spain is ESP from España. Iran appears as IRN.

The pattern runs across the entire scoreboards.Some countries are also coded based on whatever their language is.

FIFA built its codes in an era when French dominated international administration, and colonial history shaped which language a country's name was recorded in first.

That legacy is still sitting quietly on every scoreboard at this World Cup.

I hope you have learned something today.

‘Stay home, stay safe’ is not a plan when the home isn’t safe.
Ghana needs a national emergency system. Not tied to any party. Not activated by tragedy and abandoned by dry season.
Where is our emergency system?

90% of these cars be third-party insurance policy 😭

[Johnnie Hughes, TBG @hughes_onair]

At this point, I am sure that INSURANCE BROKERERS, INSURANCE COMPANIES and their AGENTS are holding crunch meetings and doing some serious mathematics ahead of the claims that policy holders will file, as a result of the floods. Hmmm! #JohnniesBite @tv3ghana

Interesting last line in Ghana's national anthem which says "and help us to resist oppressor’s rule with all our will and might forever more." Wonder who that refers to?!

I think this is the perfect time to remind you that Ronaldo's GF Georgina Rodriguez is the only Argentine to touch an international trophy in 28 years
