@kgubex @BillGardenSA @thomasmlambo @MASTA_KING Is it because you're are a different kind of dumb?

@Sbu_VJ @BillGardenSA @thomasmlambo @MASTA_KING Glad I'm not this dumb

For those who aren't clear on what I said. The "touch" on Martinez and that on Salah are the exact same thing. One is a foul and the other isn't even looked at. Egypt hard done by tonight in my view.. congrats to Argentina though.. they still scored the goals they needed.

@FIFAWorldCup Yeah. You made sure!

Argentina won this match. #FIFAWorldCup

@BillGardenSA @thomasmlambo @MASTA_KING That is a foul anyday. Not looking at it is what brings suspicion especially because it led to a goal like the one that was looked at and got chopped off as a result. 🙆🏾

@thomasmlambo @MASTA_KING They are not the same, on Sala incident the defender went for the ball and touched it 1st before that soft contact on Sala.

@LineBreak_ @BillGardenSA @thomasmlambo @MASTA_KING So it's okay fouling a player after touching a ball?

@BillGardenSA @thomasmlambo @MASTA_KING This is clear. The touch was after he won the ball. Hai bo Thomas 😂😂😂 Busy hate watching on the job.

@blacksquad_22 @grok This picture has South Africa out of position because Nigerians always lie about being from South Africa when their genetics and appearance correctly locates them in their original place of birth.🤣🤣

Hey @grok, why can't build a bridge like this?

As we wait for #GaytonMcKenzie to rub it in our noses. #BafanaPride

After Ronaldo won EURO 2016 while Messi was still without a senior international trophy, a common argument across football media, punditry and mainstream football discourse was that international trophies were not essential to determining individual greatness. Football was said to be a team sport, and a player’s legacy should not be reduced to what he won with his national team. At the time, Messi had lost four major international finals with Argentina and had even retired from international football after the 2016 Copa América final defeat to Chile. A few months later, Messi returned. What followed was an unusually busy Copa América schedule. The tournament was played in 2015, 2016, 2019 and 2021, four editions in just six years. Many observers could not help but notice that a player who had repeatedly fallen short was being given more opportunities to win in a short period and rightly so. Eventually, Messi won the 2021 Copa América. For years, the football world had been told that international trophies were not necessary to be considered the greatest of all time. When Messi lacked an international trophy, the importance of international success was routinely downplayed. Similarly, when Messi lacked a World Cup, it was not considered essential to being the GOAT. Once he won it in Qatar, however, the World Cup was elevated from being one achievement among many to the achievement that supposedly settled the GOAT debate forever. To many Ronaldo supporters, this is the clearest example of shifting goalposts in football history. The standards appeared to change at every stage until they aligned perfectly with Messi’s résumé. What was once irrelevant became important. What was important became essential. And once Messi achieved it, the debate was declared over. In Qatar, Argentina received five penalties during the tournament, a World Cup record for a single team in one edition. Several refereeing decisions involving Argentina remain debated to this day, including Messi’s handball incident against the Netherlands that some believe warranted a second yellow card. For many critics, these were not isolated incidents but part of a wider pattern they believe has followed Messi throughout his career, where controversial decisions repeatedly seem to fall in his favour. They point to numerous moments over the years where they believe punishments that would have been applied to other players were overlooked when Messi was involved. Some supporters have even argued that similar concerns resurfaced only recently, after another incident in which they believe Messi was fortunate to avoid a red card. Whether one agrees with that view or not, it has become a significant reason why many Ronaldo supporters remain sceptical of the narrative surrounding Messi’s achievements and the way they are discussed by the football establishment and mainstream media. For many Ronaldo supporters, the issue has never simply been about preferring one player over another. It is about what they perceive as inconsistent standards. They see achievements weighed differently depending on who accomplished them. They see one player protected from scrutiny while the other is subjected to it at every turn. That is why many continue to side with Ronaldo. Not because to many he is the greatest to ever kick a ball or he has won every trophy or because he is beyond criticism, but because they believe the standards applied to him have often been harsher than those applied to his greatest rival. They would rather support a player who loses with his honour intact than celebrate victories they believe are surrounded by unanswered questions. As José Mourinho once said: “If I have to win in that way, I would be ashamed.” For them, the issue is not simply who won. It is whether the criteria for greatness remained consistent throughout the debate. In their view, they did not.

Mokoena won't be available in the next match. He'll be available for knockout games though. I mean back in the country!🤣🤣 #CZERSA

@DuncanMaph68985 @brokegirlKay Mexico beats any other team they will be at 6 points. A milestone we'll never reach. Wake up!🤣

@brokegirlKay Korea must beat Mexico tomorrow. So last game Mexico beat Czechia, we draw Le Korea re grand

If South Africa beat South Korea and Czechia beat Mexico, what happens in Group A? Who goes through? 😭

@BarryOnHere Are there other countries in USA?

Soccer is only popular in countries outside the United States because those countries don't have the NFL, NBA, MLB, NHL, etc. Soccer will never matter in the United States.

@_GhChronicles No we aren't. We ain't delusional like y'all.

South Africans are wondering why all Africans are supporting African teams except SA.

@Awakhiwe_ @Giksgyiek @casspernyovest Then they're are here illegally. A law has been broken in that act.

@Giksgyiek @casspernyovest Most enter the country legally with their passport however they fail to secure the relevant work permit /visa when they are already in South Africa. Therein lies the debacle . The issue is not just black and white as you think it is.

Why do you guys intentionally leave out the word ILLEGAL when you’re reporting on what the protests are about?

@MrJamesKe There is reasoning with African "Brothers". Absolutely no hope at all. We have a problem with illegal immigrants here. People that commit crime and break the law that are untraceable. Which the majority of all immigrants are here illegally and those that are legal they overstay.

Before telling other Africans to leave SA, it is worth remembering that over 100,000 South Africans live, work, and run businesses across other African countries, and there are also SA companies operating widely across the continent. What applies to others should apply equally to them. We are also waiting for the 30th of June!

Knowing Hugo Broos is an arrogant, proud old man, he will be fielding the 5 defenders and 3 defensive midfielders, just to prove a point. Old man, please! We've accepted that we ain't going past group stages now. Just play the attacking football that we know and understand.

@JuniorSr88 I'm no Sundowns fan but what I will not do is look down on their success. They showed up in African top competitions and won when they had a chance. No one can take that away from them, not even your dementia or jealousy.

@Sbu_VJ Lol, Sundowns players are ass and overrated. Bragging about participating in caf while barely winning it. You can't win in the world cup coz you have experience playing against amakula

Pirates fans called us names when we tried to show them the true colors of this clueless madala. 🤣 Afcon was enough to show us that we're nose-diving. He was lucky he was appointed at the time Sundowns was doing well locally and internationally. Came in and took the shine.

Ion understand how everyone is blaming Roneen for that pass to Sithole. Yaya is a seasoned player, he should've dealt with that ball calmly without trying to be fancy. And besides he had plenty of options other than trying to turn. Disastrous from the team altogether.

Wow!! Seeing this now...😒

@yusuf_19816 @GovernmentZA Can they give you more so we can transport y'all dickheads back home?

📰 Department of Home Affairs confirms that it has processed 586 Nigerian nationals for repatriation after they were found to be residing in the Republic of South Africa illegally. The first repatriation flight departed on the morning of 11 June 2026, carrying 268 passengers. All individuals processed for repatriation were issued with Emergency Travel Documents by the Nigerian High Commission, enabling their exit from South Africa and return to Nigeria.

@JuniorSr88 Sundowns have been consistently playing in CAF competitions nd doing well. Don't act like u ain't know that. Pirates have only been better a season or 2 ago which justifies their selection. All I'm saying is Hugo benefited from those clubs doing well. Not his "genius tactics."

@Sbu_VJ Sundowns was doing well internationally how? What did they win? You love feeding us these useless overhyped Sundowns players,

@Sinawo_Thambo Oh Sinawo. How did you become this dumb?

Yesterday’s FIFA World Cup Opening showed what this handful of hateful Ntelezi idiots have done for South Africa’s international reputation and decades of goodwill. All the genuine outrage against illegal immigration has drowned under their violent acts, human rights violations and threats while they run around the country barefoot telling us they are “men” Decades of goodwill built on international solidarity, opposition to Israeli genocide in Palestine, cooperation with other nations, gone to dust. Football is a global language where even politics find expression, and these jokes about how SA at the World Cup is in a “rush to go home and defend their jobs and women” or how “They can’t attack Mexico because they are not African and Black” - this is not only banter, it’s political satire It shows how the world view is shifting towards viewing South Africa as a hub of hate, something that has never been part of our identity. I mean we are being compared to Argentina and Morocco, who have committed human rights atrocities against Africans respectively. The State should take responsibility for allowing hate groups which stop children at clinics, schools, beat people and in some instances incite murder, to define our international identity. It’s not a joke, and we cannot banter our way out of it. It’s a stain. South Africa being regarded as the hate capital of Africa at a FIFA World Cup would have been unimaginable in 2010. Israel is smiling wherever it is, because its mission accomplished. We have lost our moral authority on the global stage.
