Why are Africans backing Mexico over South Africa in today’s World Cup opener?
Let’s keep it real.
Many Africans are saying: 'If we support South Africa, they will think we are taking their jobs.'
This is dark humour born from pain. South Africa has been dealing with serious xenophobic attacks, against Nigerians, Zimbabweans, Ghanaians and other African brothers & sisters have been targeted, beaten, and even killed recently, all because of the narrative that 'foreigners (Africans) are taking their jobs.
So now the joke is: If we cheer for Bafana Bafana, they’ll accuse us of 'taking their support' too
Mexico on the other hand? They welcome Africans. No drama, no attacks. Just vibes. Football is family… but family shouldn’t burn your shop or chase you out for existing.
Who are you Supporting today? Mexico or South Africa?

I love the scenes coming out of Ireland.
The citizens were never consulted.
They just woke up and had millions of unemployed Pakistani's, Bangladeshi's, Nigerians, Sudanese, and Zimbabweans roaming the streets
This is very similar to what happened in South Africa as well.

🚨🗣️ Donald Trump:
“We're going to have a fantastic World Cup, the greatest World Cup. And I'll tell you something, maybe it's time for a new champion. Maybe it's time for a country that's never won it before to finally get the job done. That'll make it more memorable.”
Bill Gates HOUNDED by reporters and protesters as he walks out of Epstein hearing
'GOD sees all your evil, Bill Gates. You’re a satanist, you’re transgender'
Bill stays silent
Davis: Escalation of conflict with Moscow could completely destroy the West
HIGHLIGHTED: RUSSIANS FEEL THEIR POSITIONS ARE STRENGTHENING - THE SITUATION IS TERRIBLE
American military expert Daniel DAVIS: Russia is now full of all kinds of missiles and drones, artillery shells, everything needed to conduct modern warfare. We are not capable of waging war against it. We simply cannot cope with it; it could destroy everything!
So apparently the plan is now to bomb Iran and then hope it does what Washington wants.
😂😂😂
Let's be real,that is not strategy,it's arrogance, desperation, and wishful thinking rolled into one.
After all the tough talk, the answer still seems to be the same: use military force, issue demands, and then hope reality bends to political fantasies.
Decades of failed interventions have taught nothing.
The belief that you can bomb a country into compliance is not a sign of strength,it's a sign of intellectual bankruptcy.
Such a reckless and shortsighted approach is the very definition of strategic failure.....
Trump on the deal with Iran:
"It could be the greatest deal in history.
They could say, 'We surrender, the US is the greatest power. Praise be to Allah'."
🇮🇹🇷🇺🇺🇦 Italy's PM Giorgia Meloni is pushing for a single EU envoy to handle talks with Russia
"I have long supported the need to identify an authoritative figure, invested with all the trust and mandate of all Member States, to represent Europe's point of view"
@AfricaFirsts A small group from the zoo. The Zuloose
They’re currently fighting against illegal immigration, but they’re going about it the wrong way. Being from the Zoo, they seem to have little regard for humanity.
Dear Mexico 🇲🇽
Greetings from the 53 African countries,
South Africans have to come back home earlier to protect there jobs,
We all behind you today, so you make the return of the Zulu warriors smooth by winning at least by 5 - 0
Thnx a lot , success
@africatodayMG No. Just say Some stupid Nigerians and few Ghanaians are supporting Mexico. Africa is too big that you reduce it to few bitter Nigerians and Ghanaians
After another round of xenophobic attacks, most Africans are done pretending.
They’re backing Mexico in this World Cup instead of pretending South Africa represents the continent.
Who are you supporting?
