IN SOUTH AFRICA OUR LAAAAAAAANDDDD 🇿🇦❤️

[just2bubbly]

ab kal ke match ka heartfelt ramble ka waqt aaya hai honestly there's sm energy in me and it has to go somewhere, I'm gonna start off with the tournament as a whole, because some teams like Afghanistan and South Africa do deserve their appreciation as well. They both managed to do what their own teams before then failed to- playing a final and semi-final is a feat worth achieving ✨🙌🏻 and they managed to do it. We saw some good old West Indies back and that brought back a sense of childhood who had seen the likes of DJ Bravo and Chris Gayle play. Now as a fellow indian, seeing the Australian being defeated by Afghanistan and then later us 🥳 only to pin down their hope on Bangladesh- IT FELT SO SURREAL, LIKE YES BITCH CUMMINS THAT'S WHAT YOU GET FOR BEING SO RUDE (and 19 Nov ka badla hum toh Aussies se bohot baar lenge, with dugna lagaan)

Ind vs Eng, was the ultimate banger for me, the whole transition from a 10 wicket loss to 10 wicket haul was just amazing!! And sometimes we Indians forget the essence of our own bowlers in our team, but this wc was all about bowlers (ours and other countries)- after the ipl bashing, this entire month must have felt so hopeful to them. We got so many players like Bumrah, Maharaja, Rashid Khan, Naveen-ul-Haq defending low scoring matches- these matches that kept us as audience on edge. What a beautiful time to be a skilled bowler!

Now coming to yesterday, as a person that had nothing against South Africa as such but only had love for India- I deeply feel sorrow for your loss. I guess, we Indians know better than anyone how it feels to win all matches and then lose the final. I believe, your captain Markram is gonna do the magic our Rohit Sharma did last night. You just have to believe in him!

And to my beautiful Men in Blue- kal toh dil jeet liya 🥹🙌🏻 Everyone had been so worked up in the entire tournament. All of 11 players deserved the world cup, especially those that had played the 19 Nov. Last night's match was taking my breath away every over, it was so suspenseful and thriller and in the words of Sidhu "yeh match nazuk dil walo ke liye nahi hai" and it definitely wasn't and Bapu tumne toh humari jaan leli kal with that over (jeet mei sab maaf hai) but thank you Sky for taking the catch which people will talk about 10 years from now and thank you Hardik for not breaking our trust in that last over (Rohit did kiss you on behalf of 1.5 billion people yesterday 😚) but more than thank you to Captain that ended the trophy draught and thank you to the Coaches! ❤️

To Rahul Dravid, who was so intense yesterday- Indiranagar ka gunda jag gaya kal full 🥹😂 but thank you so much for making us what we are!! We are going to miss you so much 🫂🥹 and to Rohit and Kohli, we aren't sure if t20i will ever be same without you.

to the indian cricket team, WE ARE SO FUCKING PROUD OF YOU!! 💙🇮🇳

What is the rugby drama 👀

I don’t watch rugby but I love drama 🤩

Dearest anon (and the several others who sent similar asks):

Buckle up for the most hilarious “we are sore losers so we’re creating a racism scandal that never was” drama, as brought to you by the england rugby team

South Africa played England in the semifinal of the rugby world cup on Saturday evening. England were leading the entire game and with ten minutes to play SA was 9 points down, but ended up winning with 1 point.

After the game it comes out that Tom Curry (left), england flanker, approached the ref during the game to complain that Bongi Mbonambi (right) had called him a racial slur. The slur in question? White cunt

Now three things are immediately obvious to anyone with any knowledge about SA:

Cunt simply isnt a word South Africans use. Had he complained about being called a doos or a poes? Yeah fair. But cunt? It just doesnt make any sense for a South African to use cunt as an insult when the word is practically nonexistent in our lexicon

The South African team speaks Afrikaans on the field. You can hear them on the ref mic all the time. They have always done it as a way to communicate without other teams understanding and figuring out their play calls

In rugby, teams on field are referred to by jersey colour, the ref will shout things like “green use it! White stay back. 15 white is offside” etc. and England, the team playing in all white kits are naturally “white” when being referred to on field, and it has nothing to do with their pasty white asses

Now, in Afrikaans, the languages spoken by SA on field, wye kant/wit kant sounds a lot like white cunt in english, but translates as wide side or white side. There is no sound from the moment tommy boy is specifically complaining about, you can only hear him speaking to the ref, nothing from Bongi himself but in several other moments throughout the game you can hear various springbok players saying both wye kant or wit kant depending on the situation

But now, instead of the springboks being able to prepare for the final against New Zealand this weekend, they need to have this ridiculous investigation by world rugby, while every English media outlet has branded our vice captain a racist despite every South African with a soc med account telling them that there is simply no way a South African would insult you using the word cunt and it was obviously Afrikaans referring to the kant/side

So yeah, apparently white cunt is a racist slur, and teams are only allowed to speak english in case one of those sensitive monolingual souls takes offence at what youre discussing in your own language 🙄

Anyway heres the springboks during the previous wc, after winning against the wit kant in the final 🤭

i have standards to which international cricket teams i support (none of them when they go against india ofc). for example,

NZ - i like them, cute, i want them to win a tournament soon but also no bc 2019 made me cry

AUS - makes me want to kms every five seconds when they go against india but they're so good u have to respect them (also im kinda obsessed with pat cummins so take of that what you will) but also travis head jfc

WI - so cool. so many legends so cool im so excited for their comeback

PAK - the pakistan/india rivalry is bs we're all desi at the end of the day but i want to go to a pak. vs. ind match just for the vibes bc u know the fans will go all out (india better win)

SL - they're cool, i like malinga, also lowkey i want to see sl and ban. go again. just to see what would happen

BAN - same as above, they're cool

SA - Also sooo good i have to respect them but still no

AFG - so cute i support them always (non india games ofc)

NED - cuties im excited to see them grow

USA - very curious to see cricket's rise in the us but also i need to look at the players more bc if i was on the us team i would be supporting india no matter what im curious to see the idols of these players

CAN - same as USA let's be fr i don't really know either team

IRE - whatever happens here england loses so i win either way, excited

ENG - you will never ever get me to support them. hate them on principle may they be last in every icc tournament
