THE MIGHTY CABO VERDE JUST HELD SPAIN TO A GOALLESS DRAW ๐คฏ๐จ๐ป
Cape Verde centre back Roberto 'Pico' Lopes has spent his entire career in Ireland, ignored a LinkedIn message from Cape Verde FA asking him to play for them because it was in Portuguese. A year later, they sent it in English. He accepted. An all-time great World Cup story.
Marc Cucurella has completed a permanent transfer to Spanish La Liga side Real Madrid.
Everyone at Chelsea FC would like to thank Marc for his efforts during his time at the club and for the role he played in our recent achievements.
Mike Brown, who has just coached the @nyknicks to their first @NBA title in FIFTY THREE years, was, in another life, the coach of @NigeriaBasket. If he tells you what he went through, coaching the Nigerian menโs teamโฆ ๐
Is it just me, or does there seem to be an unhealthy obsession among some South African men with Nigerian men when it comes to relationships and South African women?
The hostility is often so intense and so openly expressed that it is difficult to ignore. Instead of focusing on the real social and economic challenges facing society, some seem preoccupied with who South African women choose to date or marry.
What exactly drives this fixation? Is it competition, insecurity, stereotypes, or something else? It would be interesting to have an honest conversation about where it comes from and why it generates such strong emotions.
What I looked like the last time the @NYKnicks won a championship.
