โšก HISTORY IS REPEATING ITSELF AT THE WORLD CUP.
June 11, 2010: Mexico ๐Ÿ†š South Africa. Johannesburg. 1-1 draw. Tshabalala's screamer went viral before "viral" was a thing.

This has NEVER happened before in 96 years of World Cup history.

๐Ÿ”ฅ UNPOPULAR OPINION:
Shakira + Burna Boy performing "Dai Dai" at the opening ceremony is more anticipated than the actual Mexico vs South Africa match.
Latin pop meets Afrobeats on the biggest stage on Earth? That's not an opening ceremony. That's a cultural event.
Sorry, footballers. The musicians are stealing the show tonight. ๐ŸŽถ
