Anyway, we need to be honest about the Cedric Kaze red card. 😭😭😭💔
Akhona Makalima is the one who wasted more than 8 minutes preparing the substitutions board.
Cedric Kaze had every right to question why it was taking so long just to prepare a substitutions board.
You can criticise how he addressed her if you want, but let’s not ignore what led to the situation in the first place.
The delay was ridiculous. 🤷🏾♂️🚮
Some people say if you have faith, you shouldn’t grieve. You shouldn’t feel the pain, feel the sadness. We’re human. Jesus wept when His friend Lazarus died. He felt sorrow and heartache. In the Garden of Gethsemane, He was so overwhelmed that He sweat drops of blood. He’s God, yet in His human body, He had these emotions. It’s not a lack of faith to feel things.
Quit looking at all the things you can’t do. Have a new perspective. “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me. This obstacle may be big, but I can overcome it. This trouble is taking longer than I thought, but I can outlast it. This situation feels overwhelming, but I can handle it. I’ve been designed for it. I’m strong. I’m anointed. I’m equipped.”
💙👋🏼 Rodri’s letter to Manchester City fans.
Dear City fans, I found that saying goodbye is one of the most difficult things in life but I am going to try. It’s hard to find the words to express how much gratitude, love and support me and my family have experienced all these years.
"I remember how I felt when I arrived, signing for the big Manchester City. It was a moment of pure excitement – ‘wow I am going to play with Kevin, Aguero, Silva, Bernardo, John and many others.’ I couldn’t stop smiling. And then Pep, waiting to teach me everything from day one. Pep I can tell you now, I couldn’t handle all those tactics in my head.
"But a question came to me, ‘could we handle all these expectations for the next years.’ I think that time answered the question. I knew I came into a top team but I never thought we could be able to create the legacy we made winning trophies, fans around the world, love and respect. We made an example to inspire the next generations not only because the success, also because the way we did it. And the fans were with us every step of the way.
"Many incredible moments come to my mind. My first trophy at City, in my first game. The last minute winners, like Arsenal away. Scoring in the Villa game to reach the Premier League, when it looked so tough. Scoring the goal to win the Champions League that we all wanted so much. The incredible reception you gave me after the Balon d’Or. You cannot imagine how proud I am to be the first player to win this award in a sky blue shirt. Making history, with the Treble, with Four in a Row. We saw things they’ll never see.
"And in the bad moments, also, you never let me down. My first day back on the pitch I realised how much you love me and I understood how special these fans were.
"City didn’t just make me a grow as a player. They made me grow as a human. I saw my brother graduating from Manchester Metropolitan University. I could see my girlfriend working for the NHS. Manchester shaped my whole life.
"I will never forget stepping onto the pitch, seeing a sea of blue sing ‘nah, nah, nah, nah…CITY’, taking my scooter into town for a coffee, walking through the parks listening to Oasis and always loving Manchester’s great rain.
"So City fans, it’s time to say goodbye, thanks to the club, the fans, the staff and my teammates. This journey couldn’t be the same without you, my heart will always be Blue.”

David said in Psalm 23, “Surely, goodness and mercy will follow me all the days of my life.” He was saying, “I am confident that good things are coming. I am confident that this situation is turning around.” It’s very powerful when you add the surely to what you’re believing for.

Your worth is not based on what you have, what family you come from, or how perfectly you live. Your worth is based on the fact that you’re a child of the Most High God. You are worthy not because of what you did, but because of what Jesus did. He made you worthy.

❤️🩹🇦🇷 Leo Messi: “Dad, you kept asking me to play in one last World Cup… just days before it began was when your condition got worse”.
“It was the first time you weren’t going to be there with me at tournament… but Mom kept telling me you were going to get better and that you’d be well enough to travel”.
“I kept telling you we were going to reach the World Cup final so you could make the trip, this was my mission once again”.
