Un brasileño y un noruego insultándose en el idioma universal: el español.
Este era el mundo que nos tenía preparado Felipe II, pero tenemos que conformarnos con hablar esa abominación germánica, el inglés. En fin.
I wrote this long before South Africa took Israel to the ICJ.
So, "foreigners did make Black South Africans Afrophobic" - Black South Africans did that themselves.
I was in South Africa in 2010, shortly before the World Cup. The hotel receptionist told me that "After the World Cup, they would deal with Nigerians".
So let's stop cooking up conspiracy theories on what exactly is driving this thing - it is intricately linked to internal South African politics and the worldview of the average Black South African in the townships.
If we're rewriting football history now, I have a small suggestion:
I'd like FIFA to rescind the yellow card shown to Michael Ballack in the 2002 World Cup semifinal, the one that ruled him out of the final.
And while we're at it, we might as well replay the final against Brazil.
