The Ghanaians were the closest african team to reach the semis of the world cup if not for Luis Suarez's impromptu 'goal keeping'.

Personally, I prefer Ghana qualifying than South Africa due to quality of play.

I'm glad u finally have your thinking cap back on. For me though, I think it's important SA takes a principled stance against this rampant corruption in African football and FIFA that y'all have come to accept as normal.

I've made peace with the fact that SA will not go to the playoffs - we'll entertain ourselves with rugby and cricket in the meantime - but for Pete's sake could u all just put a stop to corruption in your football? Otherwise SA should just join the Oceania region and compete against Australia and New Zealand like we do in other sports, and leave u all to the mercy of brown envelope officiating.

You can Also Join Antartica... Continental competition seems closer to you

KJJzjsjs

SA will still lose the appeal. SA only have a case if bribery is proven. The case of error from the referee will not be accepted by FIFA cos they appointed the referee, so they would never admit the referee made a mistake. The only thing they would do is probably make the referee not to handle official matches again or maybe go for more training. As for the match, Nothing will be done.

They should leak their wounds and move on
they have lost the game
instead of planning to do better next time
they will start looking for stores to loot and people to kill
na wa ooo

This is day light robbery. South Africa has just been rubbed.
Pls lick your wounds and move on.

FriendsAndFans:
Lol jokes on FIFA. I watched the match

Omo no be PK but CAF needs to introduce VAR now.

TMKsouth:


LOL, we weighing our options. Judging from the comments above, only in Nigeria and Africa (except South Africa of course ) would people find it acceptable that FIFA came back dismissing the appeal without giving reasons, and then adding the matter is however open to appeal. What kind of a ruling is that? SA put up a comprehensive detailed argument and FIFA owes us answers, so NO - case not closed.

Huh?

when you were allowing xenophobia to kill a lot of people without trials and jail sentence on organizers or any compensations to victims, you didn't know it has consequencies. In fact, for the next 4 decades, you will experience the same fate... Kudos to FIFA!

TMKsouth:


@bolded - maybe if u guys didn't run CAF into the ground we wouldn't have inherited a broke organisation. FACT.

Another fact is that Ghana had to cheat to reach this world cup against a tricky SA - u were trembling to the very last minute of this qualifying campaign.

Shebi una happy say your president bring the new variant come niaja??

How they nu detect one te security details having the omicron variant??

Tk, the guy that have crucified anyone nigerian in South Africa as a drug dealer, just because one small insignificant ghetto in south africa got Nigerians.

Well done ooooo

U this South African man,what are u doing on a Nigerian forum it seems u are so jobless and idle that u are always finding yourself on naija social media space.

Go to Zulu forum and lament there

Yen yen yen... Will you keep quiet Mr man.

Let's see how it plays out. I'm not even a soccer guy, I don't know why I'm vested in this matter - maybe it's coz I hate injustice.

Seun please come and ban this Zulu.

BOOOMNAIJA:


Baboon or not, it still doesn't erase d fact that most of u down there are WEAK XENOPHOBIC PIGS

I'm referring to d black shitheads among u tho

The whites av been the ones responsible for d little relevance u enjoy today...and sadly, they now clamour for a new country for themselves.

Hopefully, ur demi god Mandela would resurrect and help restore status quo....otherwise, the END beckons for u BLACK XENOPHOBIC WEAKLINGS.

Yes. The white are already appealing.
Very soon they’ll have them chased out from Cape Town, Jo’burg and Pretoria pushed back to their original Soweto slums

Englandboy:
Ghana have something to offer they look more serious than south Africa that came to practice their dancing skill in the field.

South Africa has something to offer than SE of Nigeria during buhari's regime.

Nice decision from Fifa. No room for black slaves in the world cup

A certified LOSER by the World Health Organisation holding a smartphone. Why did u get me banned - grow a spine son.

You didn't say anything new house nigga - white gods this, white gods that all the time (your coping mechanism). Didn't u say u wished COWgeria had 100,000 whites so u could rival SA? Imagine a country of 220 million people clamourimg for 100,000 whites to come save them from the misrule of cow worshippers since 500 BC. Can somebody shout FAILURES!

PS, I'm currently marvelling at the dominance of black South Africans as the richest tribe in all of Africa - the Royal Bafokeng (I know it kills u). What has COWgeria been doing since 1960 - asphalting (not in a good way )? Go compete with Togo please - black SA is out of your league, Mr (YOUKNOWWHAT)NAIJA

Context is important.

The day u all acknowledge that this sort of behaviour below is unacceptable in someone else's country, the sooner we'll all reach uhuru.

Oh

LOL, next time comment on things u are knowledgeable on or just concentrate on the real threat Biafra poses to COWgeria. The population of the Western Cape is 82% "black" - coloured included.

And the white party DA is actually against calls for Western Cape independence coz they fear what we'll do to them. So what are you on about? Next time please opt for smart submissions or forever hold your peace

U mean these township slums?

All that dancing they do, you would think SA would float across that field. I guess that xenophobic energy wasn't there to help them secure a win. It probably doesn't help that they had a nonblack on their team.

And yet they led the group throughout the entire qualification campaign until the 'Worst/Waste Africans' decided to cheat.

Take a bow to the only sub-Saharan African country with the potential to host the world cup again in the next 50 years. All hail Mighty SA

The earlier South Africa knows that football is not for them.

TMKsouth:

Please show us the whole picture of that slum in Soweto. Besides, I thought you said Julius Malema EFF was a sellout for aiding African immigrants in your country??
Now he suddenly becomes a hero,
Can’t you see how deluded you Lots are??

Look at the low cost housing county for prisoners this idiiot is proud to show me
I thought you said the whole of SA is full of skyscrapers?
Oh! I forgot it belongs to the whites and mixed colored Indians
