Shameles pipos.
World cup soccer is here again!
Nigeria is nowhere to be found.
10 countries from Africa. 10 countries!!! Nigeria failed to take one of 9 automatic slots and even when FIFA did abracadabra to help us into the playoffs, Naija still failed to qualify.
Great work by awon Onigbese. Very good job. Unu don try.
Now, we sit, relax and watch others play the world cup.
Meanwhile. 10mins into the game, SA don collect already. Quinones strikes.
Mexico feel superior to SA, so they will keep coming at them. Wave after wave of attacks.
The SA officials should have lobbied FIFA to allow them play this match at home. They should have played this game in SA. After all, is that not how they managed to qualify?
Banana Banana must play in SA, otherwise, NO WAY.
Big problem for Mzansi. Make unu try!
This south African team don’t deserve to be in the world cup
From what I see so far, SA can get something from this game. Because Mexico are just huffing and puffing, no genuine quality. And the Mexico defense looks incredibly shaky.
Problem is SA too are short on quality. Too yeye teams going at it.
Williams is keeping SA in the game with his impressive saves.
You are so right.
Abasi mbok.
One of SA’s 3 center backs is named OKON.
So Nigeria is stylishly present at the mundial, lol.
SA playing 2-5-3.
So far so good for both teams. Eight 3rd place teams will make the next round, so no need for SA to go crazy looking for result in this game. They just have to stay compact, and avoid wotowoto.
If they can score themselves, even better.
mr Hugo broos just get ready to be sack because i no sure. say you go win any match and trust me this Xenophrobics guys will sack you because there level of understanding is very low
SA have been so poor.
Even Zim of Unity Cup would have given Mex a harder time.
If SA was playing a team better than Mex, hmmmm. Katakata for don burst.
Xenophobian republic 0 Mexico 2 hahaha what a wonderful evening,
