Some Nigerians have taken to social media, particularly X, to mock South Africa after Bafana Bafana lost to Mexico in the opening match of the 2026 World Cup.
South Africa were defeated 2-0 by the Mexicans at the Estadio Azteca in Mexico City on Thursday.
Two South African players during the game and the overall performance of the South African team have made them the point of banter on social media.
Even other Africans joined in the mockery, with several of them pledging their allegiance to Mexico, even though the match was played.
Social media is awash with Africans clad in Mexico’s El Tri jerseys, dancing to Mexican music and giving themselves a Latin American name just to express their dissatisfaction with South Africa.
The harmless banters are reflections of growing anger at the xenophobic attacks against other black Africans
