119 - Teboho Mokoena had 119 touches of the ball v Czechia, the second-most by an African player in a World Cup match since Opta began collecting these stats (1966).
Only Cameroon's Geremi (122 v Saudi Arabia in 2002) has had more among African players. Touching.

Teboho Mokoena has today become the first player in our *entire* #FIFAWorldCup database (since 1966) to record the following numbers in a single match:
โข 1+ goals
โข 5+ key passes
โข 90+ accurate passes
Keept South Africa's hopes very much alive ๐ฅ
๐จ๐ฃ๏ธRoberto Martรญnez: โIt made no sense at all to take off Cristiano Ronaldo who is the best goalscorer in history off the field when we were looking for goals.โ
Ayyoub Bouaddi is quite possibly the best midfield talent in the world right now.
18 years old (!!!), playing a World Cup opener against Brazil, and he looks just about the most confident, assured player on the pitch.
So good, so complete.
Maybe because I'm a bit more harsh on those who know better. I mean, you spend a whole lot of time reading and learning about the game, and you can't objectively participate when it's time to discuss a national agenda?
Come on fella.
