South Africans Weigh In on Chiefs’ Loss
When something this wild happens, everyone has an opinion. And trust me, South Africans weren’t shy about sharing theirs. Some people argued that no matter how you feel about the outcome, you need to accept it and move on. Others, though, felt that if the Chiefs were genuinely robbed, the fans had every right to be upset.
@eX_gento had this to say:
"That man with a tablet knew exactly what he was doing, and the ref knew he was about to get caught red-handed."
@EternalImpacts chimed in:
"Chiefs need to be hit with a heavy fine for this kind of behavior. Look, soccer games have three possible outcomes: win, lose, or draw. You gotta accept the loss, shake hands, and congratulate Sundowns."
@tebzanine9 added:
"They should move the tent every time the Chiefs play down here. Refs shouldn’t have to walk through fans like that—it’s just asking for trouble."
@immortalz24 weighed in:
"The cop wasn’t even trying to protect them. Like, what was he even doing there?"
