TEBOHO MOKOENA DROPS F-BOMB DURING POST-MATCH INTERVIEW
In the wake of Bafana Bafana’s heartbreaking elimination, a clip of player Teboho Mokoena dropping an F-bomb in a live TV interview had South Africans amused.
The player, who scored a goal against South Korea in last week’s group-stage match, was asked about South Africa’s loss to Canada.
Appearing forlorn, “Tebza” said: “It was very tough, eish! The way we conceded that goal. And even me, I felt f**k”.
Realising he had sworn, Mokoena quickly covered his mouth before adding “Tjo!”.

“One last meme before coming home”, commented one. Another added: “At least our players are funny”.
A third added: “We didn’t win the World Cup, but we definitely won funniest country. A win is a win”.
SERVING MEMES
Teboho Mokoena’s slip-up is the first meme of the FIFA World Cup from the Bafana Bafana team.
