"A man who hangs around a beautiful girl without speaking his intention ends up fetching water for guests at her wedding" African proverb. https://t.co/wKU3CTd46v
people QTing this thinking that when he says ‘This was gone forever until now’ he meant it’s been lost since the engraving, and not ‘until we found this it was going to remain lost forever’ is exactly what that Atlantic article on reading & understanding was talking about 😭
Whether it is or isn’t a red to Balogun is now irrelevant. Government interference is a violation of FIFA Article 2 & 15, and the punishment is disqualification and suspension. #FIFAWorldCup
What makes these African teams getting knocked out even worse is how condescending the commentators are when talking about them from beginning till end. I can’t take it anymore.
‼️🗣️Thierry Henry on the Senegal penalty:
“I know it’s difficult to make decisions at that crucial moment as a referee, but I think he was too harsh considering the time of the game. If you swapped the jerseys, it was never going to be checked by VAR.”
african teams and conceding late. south africa conceded a 90+2' winner to canada, ivory coast conceded a late winner to norway, drc crumbled under late pressure, and now senegal blew a 2-0 lead to belgium, conceding in the 86th and 89th minute. there's evil afoot.
Il faut avoir les nerfs solides pour suivre les matchs des équipes africaines commentés par des journalistes occidentaux. La condescendance, le manque de respect, de professionnalisme, d’éthique, de déontologie envers les africains est insupportable.
Went to the mall this morning and walked past @PicknPay Clothing. Guess what was front and centre at the entrance? A whole display of Springbok merchandise. I couldn’t find any Bafana supporters’ merch even inside the store. Interesting, considering Bafana are currently in action
Has any team at the World Cup called out the discriminatory treatment against the Iranian team having to travel to and from Mexico for games?
Where is the sportsmanship?
