Thierry Henry on South Africa qualifying for the World Cup knockout stage for the first time ever:
🗣️ “This is why we love football. Tonight isn't just a victory for South Africa. Tonight is history. An entire nation has waited for a moment like this, and now it finally belongs to them.”
“When the final whistle blew, you could see the emotion everywhere. The players, the staff, the fans. These are the moments people remember for the rest of their lives.”
“Many people didn't believe South Africa would get this far. They were underestimated before the tournament started, but they kept fighting, kept believing, and now they have achieved something no South African team has ever achieved before.”
“Look at those players. Some of them grew up dreaming about representing their country on the biggest stage. Tonight they didn't just represent South Africa they made history for it.”
“What makes this story beautiful is that nobody can take it away from them. Years from now, people will still talk about the team that broke the barrier and carried South Africa into the knockout rounds for the very first time.”
“This is bigger than football. Somewhere in South Africa, young boys and girls are watching this team and believing that anything is possible.”
“South Korea fought hard, but tonight belonged to South Africa. Every tackle, every save, every sprint was for a place in history, and they earned it.”
“The celebrations will be unforgettable because these players know exactly what they have done. They haven't just won a match. They have given an entire country a moment of pride.”
“When people talk about the greatest stories of this World Cup, South Africa's name deserves to be part of that conversation.”
“Tonight, millions of South Africans will go to sleep smiling. Not because their team won 1-0, but because their nation has achieved something it had never achieved before.”
New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani alongside State and FIFA officials announced the largest fan zone at Central Park for the FIFA World Cup Final on July 19th- accommodating 50-thousand ticketed fans for free.
He also gave out this shout out to South Africa's hosting of the World Cup in 2010 ... and Durban in particular....

@X_PaNdAmOniUmZA@NomadicDev_@DeezyphandaSA I work in tech too. Indians from India are mostly devs & testers. Leadership roles are held by both white & black South Africans mostly.
Infact his statement about Leadership roles being held by Zimbabweans & whites is FALSE. The Employment Equity Act does not even allow this.
@Jnrbobby2@muzi_mocco@EiiScanty If there was, the plane will be full. Ghanaians are cruising nicely over here. The internet can be very misleading in this age if AI and everyone feeling a need to be relevant by spreading misinformation.
@Discovery_SA@twr74041098 They promise to get back to you, switch to DMs, ask for your details and they never assist. I have been struggling just to change account numbers for my household policy since last year. They keep debiting the wrong account. I sent all the documents they requested and no help
@Clicks_SA@OneCartZA Someone from clicks has already been in contact. I was informed that the 250ml veet lotion has been discontinued. Even OneCart only has 125ml which is what I ordered but somehow ended up with an expired 250ml which they cant produce a receipt for
@OneCartZA@Clicks_SA Clicks requested a receipt which l called in to ask for but no one can produce it. How can you prove that the shopper got the expired product from clicks if you can't even produce a receipt
