@Varca_Owner Some of you just come here to fart 💨

There is no way Kylian Mbappe is going to start ahead of Players like Cherki, Dembele, Olise and Doue in the world cup.

@Rendani666 @Mbaliyesizwee People get too excited.

He is Kylian Mbappe. Let’s not get carried away

Turns out the 0 gram shoe is that time Ethiopian runner Abebe Bikila did the 1960 Rome Olympics marathon barefoot and set a world record of 2:15:16 while winning Gold. He was late addition after another runner got injured and the shoes they gave didn’t fit, so he went shoeless.

@cagiago_ You were saying? 👀

Most boring 1-1 ever

European football is really the highest level of football in the world. What did we just watch?

@RyanHatesGovt Trevor really lost me here.

Liberal logic is mind-boggling. 🤯

@FIFAWorldCup, are we at least getting a World Cup theme song? Give us something to build the hype up. It’s quiet out here.

Nike spent ten years trying to break the 2-hour marathon. They named a project after it. They built special shoes. They paid the greatest marathoner alive to chase it. Yesterday, a Kenyan runner finally did it in 1:59:30, wearing Adidas. Sabastian Sawe used to be a pacemaker. A pacemaker is the kind of runner you hire to set the speed for the first few miles of a race and then drop out before the finish. In January 2022, Sawe got booked to do exactly that at a half-marathon in Spain. He'd never raced more than three miles in his life. He stayed in for the full 13 and won the whole thing. Adidas signed him not long after. Four years later, he became the first human ever to run an official marathon under 2 hours. Nike, meanwhile, started this whole project in 2016 with a public goal called "Breaking2." They paid for the shoes, the pacemakers, the science labs, and Eliud Kipchoge himself. Kipchoge ran 1:59:40 in Vienna in 2019, but the event was a closed-course exhibition with rotating pacemakers and a pace car projecting a green laser line onto the road. The sport's governing body never recognized it as a real race. It didn't count. Then Nike's running business cratered. Digital sales fell 26% in one quarter. Their share of footwear sold at Dick's Sporting Goods went from 39% to 32% in five months. On Running grew from $330 million to $1.8 billion between 2020 and 2025. Hoka nearly quadrupled. Roger Federer left Nike for On. Nike's board fired the CEO in October 2024. Adidas spent the same period building a better shoe. The new Adizero Adios Pro Evo 3 took three years to develop. It weighs 97 grams, about 3.4 ounces, lighter than a deck of cards. A Wall Street Journal-cited study found that wearing a shoe 3.5 ounces lighter saves a runner around 57 seconds across a marathon. Sawe beat the third-place finisher by 58 seconds. Adidas also did something Nike never did for Kipchoge. They wrote a $50,000 check to the official anti-doping body for track and field, asking it to test Sawe more aggressively than any other runner alive. He got tested 25 times in the two months before last year's Berlin Marathon, and Adidas signed up to fund this for the length of his contract. The logic: the moment Sawe ran a marathon this fast, the world was going to ask if he cheated, especially after his countrywoman Ruth Chepngetich got a 3-year doping ban in 2025. Adidas got out ahead of it. The shoe retails at $500 and is barely available. Adidas's Adizero shoes won half of all major marathon races in 2024. Yesterday in London, four of the top five finishers wore the same Adidas shoe. Yomif Kejelcha crossed the line 11 seconds after Sawe and also broke 2 hours. The top three runners all beat the previous world record. Nike's only response was an Instagram post. Three sentences long: "The clock has been reset. There is no finish line." That was their entire public reaction to losing a 10-year moonshot to their biggest rival.

@thomasmlambo @NdumyMbingo We prove these stereotypes about us to be true.

Also guys, we can't have games being postponed by 45 minutes because people are late when the stadium opened at 10am.. That's ridiculous.

HE. President @CyrilRamaphosa needs to act against Ngizwe Mchunu and Jacinta Ngobese Zuma et al for inciting violence against other Africans in South Africa. We can’t defend human rights globally when Africans are being assaulted in our country! Crime is NOT patriotism!

@molise_khauhelo @shottyshanee Block your card.

@shottyshanee Please tell me if you managed, how you managed.🙏🏼. I don't know how I got into this 😭

If anyone believes that these billionaires are going to give you free money, you're an idiot. Just like he was going to make Twitter all about free speech.

Microsoft is investing $329 million in South Africa🇿🇦 to expand data centres, boost infrastructure resilience, and develop AI skills. This follows a previous $1.2 billion commitment, highlighting South Africa's rise as a key regional digital hub. The new funding covers land acquisition for data centres, enhancing power and water readiness, and increasing existing capacity. Microsoft stresses that robust data centre infrastructure is essential for scalable AI development across Africa.
