Teaching at a Model C school as a black person😢😳: 1. Parents, learners & staff don't trust your teaching method. 2. Learners (especially blacks) constantly make fun of your accent & your pronunciation of English words. 3. More likely to blamed by parents when their kids fail

Death is so weird because I don’t think Jayden Adams would have ever imagined the entire football world standing still for him.
The world’s biggest stars pausing what matters most as a sign of respect for his life.

I hope he knew he was a big deal and may we never forget🤍

Heartbreaking news. South Africa international and Mamelodi Sundowns midfielder Jayden Adams has sadly passed away at the age of 2,5, @SundayWorldZA confirm. 💔🇿🇦

Adams recently made his World Cup debut with South Africa and played a key role in Mamelodi Sundowns’ successful CAF Champions League campaign.

Two weeks ago, Adams lost his grandmother Marianna Adams but demonstrated remarkable professionalism by featuring for Bafana Bafana in their World Cup match against Czechia.

Our condolences and thoughts go out to his family, friends, teammates, and everyone at Mamelodi Sundowns.

Rest in peace, Jayden. 🕊️

He was against Feroz Khan coming to the Adhoc Committee. He defended Andrea Johnson at the Adhoc Committee. Back then we thought he was being genuine kanti he’s protecting his own interests.

Am I the only one who feels zero remorse for Embolo ? He just blatantly dived for zero reason on a yellow ?

[Japtej Ghura @japtejghura]

People are so hung on this Argentina conspiracy stuff that they can’t accept that is the HEIGHT of stupidity from Embolo.

Just plain stupid.

[STOP THAT LAMINE!!!! 🇳🇬🇳🇬 @bayern_MOB]

This was literally the second game of the tournament usa vs paraguay, almiron got a yellow card for simulation just like embolo

[(fan) Trey @UTDTrey]

Fuck bro, I want to scream corruption but Embolo was dumb asf there. What you diving for bro, ruined everything for your country💔

[. @SCFCJosh96]

Pretty shocking that a guy who played at this world cup has died whilst the tournaments still on

3 months ago, Ramaphosa proudly appointed acting Minister of Police, Puleng Dimpane, even though her name had already come up in Madlanga Commission. Today she's officially charged with tender fraud of R43m😣

Ramaphosa is such an incompetent & corrupt hardcore mafia. This can't be the "new dawn" we were promised 🤧

I’m going to take my time with this one. If you’re busy, bookmark it and come back later.

Do you know the biggest problem with Cristiano Ronaldo? It isn’t that he never won the World Cup. It’s that he spent years telling everyone what separates legends, only to change the standards once he couldn’t reach them himself.

After winning Euro 2016, Ronaldo made it clear that winning a major international trophy was what completed a player’s legacy. At the time, Messi had just lost another international final and was going through the toughest period of his career. Those comments only added to the narrative that Messi could never be the greatest because he hadn’t won with Argentina. For years, that became the standard. Messi was called a bottler, while Ronaldo was praised as the player who had proved himself internationally.

Nobody wanted to hear about context. Nobody cared that Messi had dragged Argentina to a World Cup final in 2014 with a squad many considered weaker than the Portugal teams Ronaldo has had over the last decade. The only thing that mattered was that Ronaldo had won a major trophy with his country, and Messi hadn’t.

Then Messi won the Copa América. Suddenly, the goalposts moved. We were told one Euro was worth more than multiple Copa América titles because South America supposedly wasn’t competitive enough. That became the new excuse.

Then Messi won the World Cup. The excuses changed again. It was “fixed.” It was “scripted.” Then came, “A career can’t be defined by seven games.” Funny how nobody was saying that before the tournament, when many believed it would finally be Ronaldo’s chance to win it.

Now Portugal have been eliminated from the World Cup, and Ronaldo posts about Euro 2016 again. That’s what I find ironic. When international trophies favored Ronaldo, they were the ultimate measure of greatness. When Messi caught up, people started ranking competitions differently. When Messi surpassed him by winning the biggest trophy in football, suddenly the World Cup wasn’t supposed to define a career anymore.

That’s the contradiction.

The difference between Messi and Ronaldo was never just about goals, assists, or trophies. It’s about consistency. Messi never needed to diminish Ronaldo’s achievements to elevate his own, nor did he ask football to change its standards because they no longer favored him. He simply kept playing until he won everything there was to win.

League titles. Champions Leagues. Ballons d’Or. Golden Boots. Copa América. Finalissima. World Cup. Every major trophy that was ever used against him eventually became part of his legacy.

Cristiano Ronaldo will always be one of the greatest footballers to ever play the game. But this is exactly why I believe Messi is the greatest. He didn’t ask football to rewrite the standards.

He met every single one of them.

Guys are you hearing the evidence in Madlanga Commission 🙆 IDAC senior officer helping Pakistans to get South African IDs in exchange of money 💰 This country is being sold by police officers 🙆

[Kobi @UTDKobi]

Our hate for Argentina is making us ignore things like this. If it happened the other way around, everyone would be talking about it

It’s football, moments like this happen. But the outrage only seems to appear when it’s Argentina

ICU in private hospitals costs 35k a day.

Unless your medical aid has unlimited cover you’re going to exhaust a million in 28 days.

We need to fix public healthcare! Yho!

[ChocoTribe 🇦🇷 @Debbybruno3]

Imagine Messi spamming us his Copa America trophy because he couldn’t win the World Cup. God forbid 😭

[Harisva @Harisva7]

@RasslinGawd Here you go. Attempting to deceive the referee by pretending to have been fouled is a cautionary offense(yellow card). Embolo fell without being touched by Paredes so there was clearly no foul. The Referee initially gave a yellow to parades so there was an attempt to deceive

[has Real Madrid robbed a club ? @Has_RMrbdaclub]

Literally happened in USA vs Paraguay this World Cup 😂

Incorrect.

The most hated country in the world is still Israel.
