@joseph_kalimbwe:

"I am supporting Uruguay against Ghana. Ghana cheated their way to the World Cup through a bogus penalty against South Africa in Accra. I will never support cheating just because fellow Africans do it. They must return to Africa and deal with NPP !!!"

@UncleCul:

"Ok, look, in a way, Ghana got their revenge, and so did South Africa. "

@LungaKevin1:

"South Africa is lowkey enjoying the Ghana game ."

@fykster:

"Let's not forget that penalty Ghana got against South Africa to get here. Tsek they can go home."

@luqmaanrawat72:

"As a South African, this result is perfect. South Korea and Portugal go through. Ghana, the absolute cheats, come home, and Uruguay, even bigger cheats, leave as well ❤️ A win for South Africa and a win for Africa."
