The World Cup Is Over. You Can Go Home Now

After an amazing day at the Moses Mabhida Stadium, watching Switzerland humiliating Spain whilst listening to the Swiss players ringing cow bells, I was so sure my day will end on a positive note. I was so fooled.


Not that I’m crying over spilled milk, I mean I’m used to being disappointed by our national football team. They just never seem to get their ducks in a row even after all that support that was showed towards them. Football Fridays, South Africans buying the jersey (even though some of them were fong-kongs) and even prayer gatherings. Tjo even the Lord can’t help these helpless boys out.


Ok enough of the trashing now and more on the serious stuff. S.A coach, Carlos Alberto Parreirablames the Swiss referee (damn traitors after supporting them at Moses Mabhida) for our dismal and humiliating loss. Truth be told, we deserved to lose. No team will ever win without scoring goals. You need to score to win dammit!


For the first 10 or so minutes, the ball was on our half. I didn’t even know how the Uruguay keeper was wearing during those minutes! People are also complaining about the red card Khunewas given by the ref. I’m told by my sports crazy and even World Cup crazier partner that according to Fifa rules, any attack by the last line of defense, it’s a straight red card. If that’s the case then why all the noise? Read the rules people!


I call on all South Africans to calm the F down and admit defeat. Whether the ref was bribed or not we lost and Uruguay was the better team all round, Form their defenders right up to their stikers.


All that’s left is now is hope that so and so don’t win or so and so draws and beats so and so. Even during the Confed, we went through to the second round by the Lord’s mercy.


Since we won’t be going into the second round, the World Cup is over. All you foreign visitors can now pack your bags and leave and we will give the World Cup to Brazil. Show is over people, there’s nothing to see now!


On a final note, let’s look on the bright side here. We will be making history, yes history. No host nation has ever failed to qualify beyond the group stages. Let’s embrace our history-making tendency. First African could country to host a World Cup and first host nation to be given the boot on the first round.


With all that's said, I'm proud of them and their previous games. They showed that they have a point to prove. I'm still behind you, win or lose Boys Boys!


Now we know which team didn’t qualify for the WC hehehe!


Why? Coz Mpume Said So

EYE CANDY: The Hottest 100 Meter Sprinters

Watching the men's 100 meter races at the IAAF World Championships I realised how yummy these men are. My eyes couldn't help but feast on these lightning fast Gods. Here are my top 5 hottest sprinters.


Usain Bolt
You best believe that the lightning would be featuring in this list. Not because he's freakishly fast but there's something about this Jamaican's long legs that makes my pulse go doof doof.


Tyson Gaye
There's something about this silver medalist that I can't really put my finger on. He looks like he could be in his late 30s yet he has a body of a hot blooded early 20something. He reminds me my high school Biology teacher. The man was in his 40s but damn he was fine!


Asafa Powell
I just love the coolness of this guy when he's on the track. It's like he's running without giving much effort. Besides the big head, the former fastest man on earth is definitely high on my list.


Darvis Patton
I didn't know much about Patton and in a matter of fact I still don't know. All I know is that this super fine American's smile is killer. And I love a guy with a mysterious look.


Richard Thompson
Well look at what we have here. I didn't know there are men like this in Trinidad and Tobacco. I'm relocating to the Trinidad and Tobacco. Hell I'm relocating to the Caribbean. Sorry R. LOL.

The number one spot will most definitely be taken by Asafa Powel with Usain Bolt taking a close second and Richard Thompson taking third.

On a side note: I wonder why both women and men's 100m sprints are always dominated by black people in the US and the Caribbean. Could it be in the water? Whatever it is, they can do their thing and they do it good. I'm sensing Jamaica will soon be the track athlete's capital of the world. Don't say Mpume didn't say so.

Yea, Mpume said so!

Caster Semenya Saga Has Become A Fiasco



Like the rest of the world, I've been following the Caster Semenya saga closely and I'm glad this whole story has died down for now.

My heart goes out to Caster, I can't imagine the psychological trauma she's going through during this time. It's like she's been paraded and talked about like a circus freak.

What still puzzles me is the race card that was pulled with this story. Ok maybe I'm naïve and just can't see the bigger picture but what does her race has to do with anything. It's not like she's the first woman who's gender has been questioned. Don't get me wrong here, I totally disagree with the manner in which the news about gender tests being conducted on her. I feel her human rights were violated and the IAAF should of being a lot more sensitivity and privacy.

I commend all those who came in their numbers to welcome Caster and the other two medal winners, Mbulaeni Mulaudzi and Khotso Mokoena. It showed how proud South Africa and her people are proud of their achievements and that we are 100% behind Caster during this time.

But then I wonder how has the homecoming of the three athletes became a political fiasco. There blabber-mouth Julius Malema was saying what a disgrace it is that there wasn't any white South Africans who came to OR Tambo International Airport to welcome the athletes. He went as far as saying of it was the Rugby team they would have been there. Although there was some truth to what he was saying but that was not the day or time. That particular time was to welcome and congratulate the three athletes not to point who was at the homecoming and who wasn't. So what if there weren't any white South Africans. If it was the rugby team I can guarantee that there was going to be more white than black South Africans.

Back to Miss Semenya, I think this story has been blown way out of proportion. She's not the first and will not be the last female athlete to have a gender test. All I can say before I actually make any conclusions is that let's wait and see what the results, although I strongly feel she's a woman. But I'm also afraid of the consequences if the results conclude that she in fact has male chromosomes.

I will be watching this one very closely.

Yea, Mpume said so.

Walter Mokoena talks fuckery on TV and runs to court


Charmer boy Walter Mokeana who has been suspended by the SABC after spreading propaganda live on television is now taking national broadcaster SABC to court in an effort to save his job.

The SABC soprts anchor’s suspension came after he said Bafana Bafana coach Joel Santana and captain Aaron Mokoena should be fired after the national team lost 2-0 to Spain.

What the hell does this fool think is going to happen to him when he says dumb sh*t like that on national TV. The only person who needs to get the boot is you. His suspension should be made permanent.

This is not the first time Mokoena has made himself look like a fool on television. He was suspended after he said a well-known football legend lost his virginity to a goat. The SABC allegedly paid the Broadcasting Complaints Commission of South Africa (BCCSA) R2 million for the comments

It’s about time he got what’s due to him. Walter be a man and take responsibility for your actions.

Yea Mpume said so
