Yeah, four goals in the last six games isn't exactly a frenzied goal fiesta.

In some ways, Salah is in a slightly tricky political spot here. He is forced by his fame to take a position on this. Either he supports his teammate publicly, he comdems him, or he says 'no comment'. But Salah saying 'no comment' rather than supporting, particularly when other teammates are going public to back Warda, effectively means condemning by refusing to be part of that stance. It's become a binary.
On the other hand, a sexual harassment allegation is making life awkward for a tangentially associated male? Well, cry me a f*cking river.
Then we get to what Salah tweeted, the very equivocal "'no' means 'no' ... [but] we need to believe in second chances". That really is Et tu, Mo? time. Because this is so typical of what happens, isn't it? The man involved gets a slap on the wrist and is allowed to continue his life/career as if nothing actually happened. There are no consequences for his misbehaviour.
And then it comes out that this isn't the first time anyway [of course]. That Warda is already on to his second, third, whatever chance. Again, that is so typical. Chances are so often unlimited on this sort of behaviour. Salah's good words a few months ago suddenly seem very platitudinous. If you can't walk the walk when it's slightly discomforting to you to do so, then what you talk is completely irrelevant.Last edited by Janik; 30-06-2019, 23:55.

Bloody hell, I thought Benin sprung the shock of the tournament. Bafana bundling out the hosts, who have Lionel Messi in their side trumps that, I think. Even if SA have a better histrical record than Benin, they've been in the doldrums for so long, and so lucky to get past the group stage.
