I'm with Mexico now. England you will pay.

Very kind of the Congolese to spare the Black English players racial abuse from their home country tabloids... for now.

Fuck.

That equalizer was God's punishment fur whatever Lovy Longomba is up to in his cult.

Bamalize barudi nyumbani!!!

Come on DRC! You got this. England looking shakier than a tower of jellied eels.

Families of those killed and missing say investigations have stalled as accountability remains out of reach.

LOL Police statement said yesterday they don't know of any planned demonstrations and waziri said it's a normal working day everyone should go about as usual.

Yesterday, as the World Cup went on, Israel was dropping bombs disguised as footballs on southern Lebanon.

Viva Congo! Turned your Goat to soup 🎉🎉

Send the Portuguese no 4 to hell for that!

Let's go DRC!!!

Guys, why would FIFA be confiscating a national flag during a match? Especially when we can clearly see people proudly waving it in the background? Is there maybe something Ms Nesterova is omitting here? I'm sure it's AN Iranian flag. But is it THE Iranian flag?

All those minutes as a Cape Verde fan has led to this. I deserve this.

Award-winning Somali referee, Omar Abdulkadir Artan, has been removed from the World Cup roster after being denied entry to the US despite holding a valid visa.

World cup will suck but I'll be cheering for DRC, Haiti and Iran in that order.

Documentary was pure ass. Basically calling Tanzanians who protested gullible idiots who know nothing about the political situation in their own country and got manipulated by two Instagram baddies. Thunder fire Hundeyin.

Waende kwa ofisi kuhara kwa desk ya mdosi ama?

Watched highlights of the USA vs Senegal friendly and when the Yanks scored, flames shot up behind the goal posts like a WWE entrance LMAO.

Anyway my money is on DRC for quarter finals of the world cup if it happens. Joga bonito<<<<kosakana kitoko.

Mali army says armed groups launch nationwide attacks; gunfire near airport https://aje.news/vt4rz2

I started playing FM last weekend and I loved it. Got fired after losing 10 in a row and I hate it.

Damn. Sucks that Gen AI and Disney can't give us the fictionalized version "Black Jet Down: Epic Fury" starring Jake Paul in cinemas by next week.

Kenyan bar DJs will slide from Celine Dion to Burning Spear like nobody else can.

"nobody is doing anything" remains a lie meant to soothe the person saying the words. It's not true. YOU may not be doing anything but a lot of people are.
