Growing up in South Africa, all my life I believed I was the slowest person on earth. I now realise my country is just blessed for speed, and maybe I was just...average pace.

Would he even be allowed in the US to perform, if this came out in 2026?
FIFA can try for another 100 years and still won’t recreate this masterpiece 🤌⚽️

Growing up, playing saxophone there was simply one SA jazz artist that reigned supreme, where you would lose yourself in the improvisations, counterpoint and pure melodies. I'll never forget performing Mannenberg or Beautiful Love to a full audience Thank you Abdullah Ibrahim

Brilliantly timed message 🇪🇸🇨🇻
🚨 Joint-statement from Cape Verde, Curaçao, Uzbekistan, Congo, Haiti, Algeria, Tunisia, Morocco, Egypt, Ghana, Senegal, South Africa and Côte d’Ivoire expressing their “profound disappointment” following the recent comments made by UEFA President Aleksander Čeferin arguing the expanded World Cup will create “uninteresting” games. “We respectfully but firmly reject these comments. “For our countries, there is no such thing as an unimportant World Cup match. “For Cape Verde, Curaçao and Uzbekistan, qualification for the FIFA World Cup represents a historic achievement and the realization of a dream shared by generations. “For nations such as Congo and Haiti, returning to football’s biggest stage after a long absence carries a special meaning for millions of supporters who have waited years, and in some cases decades, for this moment. “To suggest that these matches are somehow less important is deeply disappointing and fails to recognize the efforts, sacrifices and aspirations of players, coaches, clubs, football leaders and supporters across the world. “Behind every qualification stand years of work and investment. Behind every national team stand entire communities and millions of people who see football as a source of pride, hope and unity. “Football does not belong to a select group of nations. Its strength comes from its universality. The FIFA World Cup is the world’s greatest football competition precisely because it brings together different cultures, different histories and different football journeys. “For many countries, participation in the FIFA World Cup is not only a sporting achievement. It is a moment that inspires a generation, accelerates football development and creates memories that last a lifetime. “We believe that every nation that qualifies deserves respect. Every team has earned its place on merit. Every supporter has the right to dream. Every match carries meaning for millions of people around the world. “We therefore reject the UEFA President’s comments and reaffirm our belief that the growth of football must continue to create opportunities, inspire new generations and strengthen the truly global nature of our game. “Every team qualified on merit. “Every match matters.”

Unbelievable! One of THE famous test wins for the @ProteasMenCSA. It also shows just how tough that pitch really was, stand up Captain Temba, my MOTM #IndiaVsSouthAfrica

Make no mistake, these last two Springbok wins are among the top of the Rassie era. Unreal grit, self belief and cohesion where superlatives don't do justice, given the context of the teams played. #ITARSA #Springboks

Such an important take on Mo Salah's form - which most pundits seem to have just left out of the conversation. It's his decision making and touch which are not up to standard - elements which are absolutely psychological and so obviously affected by Jota's loss

Mo on the verge of tears after scoring yesterday, Robbo pointing to the heavens and blowing a kiss after the penalty went in. Easy as the fixtures keep rolling to forget that these are young men who have lost a friend a couple months ago. Something Mo tweeted in the aftermath stuck with me: "I am truly lost for words. Until yesterday, I never thought there would be something that would frighten me of going back to Liverpool after the break." The fact that the lads are sticking together and finding a way to get results is unbelievable, the performance don't need in depth analysis yet, let the manager do that, they just need our unadulterated support.
