🚨Fabio Capello on the officiating in Argentina vs Egypt:
🗣️ “I have no problem accepting defeat when the better team wins.
What I cannot accept is inconsistency.
Egypt scored a goal that looked perfectly legitimate, yet VAR searched every possible angle until it found a reason to rule it out. Later, when Egypt were asking for major decisions inside Argentina’s penalty area, that same level of investigation disappeared. That is what frustrates players, coaches and supporters.
Football is built on trust. If one incident deserves three minutes of review, then every major incident deserves the same attention. You cannot apply one standard to one team and a different standard to another. That is where people begin to question the integrity of the decisions.
Argentina have world-class players. Nobody doubts that. Messi, Martínez and the rest have enough quality to win matches on their own. But when controversial decisions repeatedly fall in one direction, it becomes impossible to ignore the conversation. Egypt earned the right to lose because Argentina were better—not because the biggest moments seemed to be interpreted differently.
The saddest part is that tonight people will remember the referee more than the football. Egypt leave with disappointment, but also with unanswered questions. And whenever supporters spend more time discussing officiating than the players, football itself has failed.”

Chief of the South African Navy, Vice Admiral Monde Lobese, Warns Unpatriotic Government Leaders and Sellouts Who Are Turning a Blind Eye to Maritime Crime and Endangering the Navy and SANDF, While Pushing for Privatization
“As the Navy, we rejected this sellout and unpatriotic decision.”
“Attempts have been made by certain government departments to bring a foreign company to come patrol our waters.”
“The unpatriotic and what appears to be a sellout posture of defunding the SA Navy and the SANDF in general…”
“…these consistent underfunding and incapacitating of the South African Navy and the defence force in general is to ensure the success of the operations that undermine our nation…”
“I often find myself questioning whether those responsible… may be directly or indirectly influenced by these drug cartels, illegal traders, maritime criminals, and human traffickers.”
“…whether the people behind what I would like to call nonsense, if they are not busy with a mission to privatize the SA Navy and the SANDF…”
“…private security is a lucrative business in our country and it is replacing the state security machinery.”
“Should the SA Navy’s roles fall into private hands… the same government that today tells us there is no money to fund the Navy will use government reserves to fund those private security forces.”
