Ronaldo drops stinker today, we cook.
He scores one go, we cook.
He scores two goals, we cook.
Portugal draws, we cook.
Nothing is saving Mazi Okonta today. 🙏
Messi has set the tone for a successful hatewatch - today I am Congolese. 🙌🏾
@FIFAWorldCup As an amature goalkeeper myself, I must commend these ones who have stood strong as the final wall of defense for their teams, kept their country's hopes alive and given the 3 billion football fans globally gasping moments!🤩
@FIFAWorldCup Top candidates are:
- CapeVerde's Vozinha's MOTM display against Spain🔥🔥 (the 2nd goalie to win the MOTM award so far, after Qatar's Mahmud Abunada vs the Swiss),
and
- Saudi's Al-Owais, who has made the most saves (9)🥊 in a single game so far, against Uruguay.
Heroes!🫡

There's absolutely no event like the #FIFAWorldCup ⚽, and this year's opening games have already produced thrilling moments.
Speaking of headers, I've seen true-pass header from Scot's Hickey vs Haiti, and a curling (R2) header by Ned's VVD vs Japan.
Football is beautiful!🤩🥳
Greek mythology always leaves me pondering - it stuns me with the vivid pictures, then allows me to pick lessons.
So is the story of Antaeus. He was born of Poseidon and Gaia. Poseidon ruled over the seas, Gaia was the earth herself - the mother of Uranus.
Long before he was defeated by Heracles, Antaeus was always rumoured to be invincible. Stories recorded that Antaeus would wait at the entrance of Libya and force passersby to wrestle him - he always crushed them, piling their skulls so he could build a temple to his father, Poseidon.
This is where it gets interesting - he was only invincible as long as he maintained contact with Mother Earth. When Heracles eventually crushed him, Heracles did so by suspending him in the air, away from Mother Earth, crushing him in a bear hug.
In reflection, a lot of people have not been truly tested by the realities of the world because they have insulation. Insulation in systems, in parents, in their backgrounds. Just like Antaeus, the illusion of their strength is in contact with Gaia.
On the day Heracles decides to test your resolve, all it takes is for you to fall once, and if there is anything I know, it is the fact that a man who is used to standing and has never fallen will not be able to stand on the day he falls.
An extension of this conversation goes to parents who shield their children entirely from life's realities. You cannot apologise for having leverage in life, especially if your parents paved your way - but it is important to consistently stress-test how much of life you really can handle.
In the absence of the strength that grounds you, how do you survive?
Went to buy my usual pepper and tomatoes today and immediately noticed how small the quantity was.
I had to increase my budget and asked the seller to add more because what I was getting for the same money made no sense.
Only to get home and open Instagram to see your president saying the economy has recovered, agriculture is booming, and food is now everywhere.
These guys live in an alternate universe

Withdrawing 69 students straight without option of resit or repeat based on academic performance should be a crime against humanity.
But we are in Nigeria, where humans don't have rights.
Nothing will happen.
The uni will admit 400 students again next year and do it all over again.
Useless country.
