We all have our GOATs. There will never be a consensus. Mine is Pele.
At 17yo, that's Pele in the photo at the 1958 World Cup.
He played 4 games and scored 6 goals!
Maradona needed 2 WCs to reach 6 goals.
Messi and Ronaldo needed 4 WCs.
A poor Brazilian boy.

#Tunisia already two goals down inside the first 10 minutes, lol. Not that I'm watching the game though. I feel for Tunisians. Herve Renard has his work cut out for him if he survives this debacle.
11 goals and counting conceded in just three games! Wow.

SA 1-0 S-Korea
CIV 2-0 Curacao
#Cotedivoire join #Morocco and #SouthAfrica in the last 32! That's 3 out of 3 for now, but we know #Tunisia , who play next, have been eliminated.
The other 6 teams have a chance!
#FIFAWorldCup
FULL TIME.
CIV are 3rd African team into the knockout stages of the World Cup.
Nicolas Pepe peppered Curacao twice to ensure a 2-0 win for the Elephants.
#Cotedivoire finished second in Group E behind Germany who lost 2-1 to Ecuador.
#FIFAWorldCup#Ecuador#Germany
⚽ 7' - Great start for #Cotedivoire Pepe strikes after just seven minutes following great work from the exciting Yan Diomande!
A win would guarantee the Ivorians a place in the last 32.
#FIFAWorldCup
Curacao 0-2 CIV
⚽ 64' - #Cotedivoire double their advantage over Curacao as Pepe gets his second of the match after a pass from Ibrahim Sangare finds him unmarked.
Surely now CIV on on their way to the knockout stages.
#FIFAWorldCup#Ecuador#Curacao
Many didn't think Africa could present 10 competitive teams at #FIFAWorldCup. Well, from where I stand, up to 7 African teams could reach the round of 32.
Morocco and SA are through. I expect CIV, Egypt, Ghana, DRC to join them as well as C-Verde or Algeria. Maybe even Senegal.
How much did #BafanaBafana miss Teboho Mokoena against S-Korea? His young replacement, 21yo Rehebohile Mofokeng, was solid.
Passing accuracy: 86%
Chances created: 4 - best of the game.
Defensive work: 100% tackles won
Goal attempts: 2 shots.
Rating: 7/10
#FIFAWorldCup
#SouthAfrica is the only African team at the 2026 FIFA World Cup with 100% homegrown players. 19 of 26 play in the PSL. At a time Africans are cheaply hunting for quick-fix solutions abroad, this is exemplary!
I'm a proud fan.
#FIFAWorldCup#BafanaPride
HISTORY MADE
#SouthAfrica have qualified from their World Cup group for the first time ever after deservedly beating #SouthKorea in Monterrey to finish 2nd in Group A.
South Africa 1-0 South Korea
#BafanaPride will take on Canada in the Round of 32.
#FIFAWorldCup
AFRICA ROUND 3
#SouthAfrica need to stop wasting good chances or the Koreans will make pay. They should be ahead at this point.
South Africa 0-0 South Korea
