“but while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat and went his way.”
Messi, you think you can sow discord in darkness and get away with it. But 6pm today, in the day… Light will rise upon the earth!
As brilliant and utterly irrepressible as Lionel Messi is, there have been a few occasions during his illustrious career when opponents — and certainly opposition fans — have suggested that he has received “special treatment” from referees.
What is certain is that, between scoring his first and second goals against Algeria, he got lucky. A challenge on Algeria captain Aissa Mandi, who was caught by Messi on his right calf and Achilles tendon, could have earned at least a yellow card — and plausibly a red card — but Polish referee Szymon Marciniak was content to award a free kick.
It was a strange incident. Mandi was in control of the ball, going nowhere fast, and there was little prospect of dispossessing him from Messi’s position. To make a lunge like that, with his studs up, seemed incomprehensible, never mind dangerous.
Special treatment? At the very least it was lenient refereeing. A yellow card would perhaps have been the most widely expected outcome — a red card second — but Messi was certainly lucky to get away scot-free.

If Ronaldo scores an hat trick tonight against DR congo and another one against Uzbekistan, he'll be two goals off messi and klose on the world cup goal record,
That record and the world cup trophy,it is possible,
Mbappe is the only threat not Messi at all.
The South African film industry has mastered the art of making soft pornography, and seeding it for public consumption like it’s another day in paradise.
I can’t even remember the titles, but once I see the film trailers on Netflix, my flags become raised, because I fixate when I watch things, and my viewing experience is never casual.
I know African societies are becoming sexually charged and framing the world through the lens of sex and sexual pleasures, I also believe we didnt reach this junction by happenstance, it’s been a slow and sinister design, but whatever it is, we must sit with the whys of our decisions as creators.
The data clearly states that this is what people want or are consuming, but we need to sit with how we got here as a society.
Additionally in the case of the polygamist, for you as a consumer, these movies don’t make you into a whole person, you become suspicious of men without cause as a woman, as a man, you come to genuinely believe show after show that this is normal behaviour, no this is a mind that needs renewal.
And for you who thinks it harmless, I hope you know your brain can’t tell the difference between soft porn and regular porn? The hooks and triggers that lead you to the depths are one and the same. A sharp or blunt knife are one and the same thing; a knife.
Even more so as a Christian, whatever is noble and pure friends, you can sit this one out as a professing Christian, you are not missing anything from shows that portray sex as something to be taken, people as tools of sexual pleasure to be taken advantage of, and the heart of how family should be designed blatantly disregarded, children an the sanctity of the home broken and disfigured. You will do well to say no, this is not an idea I am malleable to, even as entertainment.
I hope all this fiesta doesn't get to Ronaldo, we want to win a World Cup Idolo. Anybody wey score abeg, you can come back for 2030 World Cup and be shooting from range like 2010.

🚨 Florentino Pérez plans to launch €150m official bid on Tuesday for Michael Olise.
Despite denying his name live, the main star in president’s mind is Olise — as @JBurtTelegraph@jfelixdiaz report.
Bayern’s Uli Hoeneß said in May “no chance to sell, not even for €200m”.
