And now, we’ve got a potential Blue Wave on its way in South Africa but actual outcomes can be so fragmented in reality. When the voting stations close tonight, we’ll be waiting to see how close the polls were to reality. Time will tell. 🗳️

There’s no way that Trump was not prepared for this. He had to have known what was coming. The real question is whether or not these new leaders will bring actual change, or just talk shops. And if they bring change, will it still resonate by November 2028?

This. A million times.

I have watched Old Trafford from my couch for +35 years. I have never heard the fans like that. I have never heard them back a manager over the players like that. I have never felt that emotional after a loss. The club is broken, and Carrick - like us fans - don’t deserve it.

What’s the alternative @markgoldbridge? Been just as shit with him.
This is United without Bruno BTW.

Lewis taking the blame for the Ferrari strategy is pathetic. Even if he did get the call wrong, himself, the team still needs to improve on its strategy and decision making and have proper leadership. It’s not like this is the first time? 😂 😭

Sorry, what?
Mamelodi East, Pretoria. A soldier has opened fire on police.

Embarrasing. Pack it up and go home.
#MUNMCI – 59’ VAR OVERTURN VAR checked the referee’s call of no goal for offside – and determined that Haaland was in an onside position and recommended that the goal was awarded. The VAR also deemed that while in an offside position, Fernandez didn’t play the ball.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Rule 2 of the offside law includes the wording "A player in an offside position ... by clearly attempting to play a ball which is close when this action impacts on an opponent", suggesting Enzo Fernández should have been ruled offiside. thefa.com/football-rules…

My friend, my friend, you are traveling. So many secrets are unraveling….some other picture's coming into view…I seen the water washing over you ❤️‍🩹 💔 😢

Law is a funny thing when commentators can say the defender of a cold blooded murderer did “a great job”. I get it. But doesn’t seem right.
Karen Friedman Angiflo, Mangione's defense counsel, just said that he has been "unfairly treated" in these cases. The defense has done a great job but this statement ignores the many rulings in his favor to protect his rights in both systems...

There are 52 regions, by the way.

Isn’t this kinda like Formula One?
EXCLUSIVE: Fifa's president Gianni Infantino is planning to sell stakes in the World Cup to private investors under a scheme that could potentially earn him tens of millions of pounds. Investor discussions held with figures close to the Trump administration, say sources. thetimes.com/sport/football/…

Like, so what? Is this really an issue now?
The News24 team perused a variety of clothing items at several Old School outlets, but has yet to find anything manufactured in SA. Many of the items were labelled “Designed in Stellenbosch”, with “Made in India” signage underneath. news24.com/business/companie…

Just woke up. Looked around and realised it wasn’t a dream. It’s not coming home. England bottled it 😭

Surely it’s a bit weird that Lindsey Graham suddenly dies after returning from Ukraine? Like I’m not a conspiracy theorist or anything, but it does seem rather odd.

It’s gonna be tough to go back to a cold night at Stoke after this World Cup.

Awkward…..
I need to see evidence of South Africa qualifying for this tournament, because I'm wondering how on Earth it happened.

Genuine question. How do you believe anything you read to be everything about whatever you read? So many opinions are formed purely from reading 120 characters. But, there’s so much more that may have gone on. Yet you’re only being told part of it. But now know it all. Odd hey…
