Twitter never falls short of drama, tonight was pretty hectic, I couldn't even keep up. Sure, Itumeleng Khune is arguably one of South Africa's best goal keepers but that didn't stop Black Twitter from having him as a midnight snack.
Khune has actually scooped a lot of awards and cash for his remarkable diving skills and distributions, I am guessing, I am not much of a soccer fan. It was actually a chilled night until the Mexico Vs Brazil match, Khune was being his usual self shem, posting commentary like every soccer fan on my TL, it was a really heated match it seemed.
Khune lost it at: “@IIKHUNE_32_16: *43 another great safe from the mexican keeper #Ochoa #BrazilvsMexico #FifaWorldCup14”...
That is how I actually knew that it is not his day and Sipho didn't miss an opportunity to troll our Khune of Kaizer Chiefs;
“@TaxiDriverSipho: Pity our keeper is not there to make safes :( “@IIKHUNE_32_16: *43 another great safe from the mexican keeper”
We will disregard the typo inception because we know how Sipho can be pathetic with his deliberate typos but I'm thinking probably Khune forgot that he is our goal keeper and that we didn't qualify for the World Cup, he is just tryna enjoy soccer and live tweet but twitter is evil, you can never forget that.
As the game was nearing the end, a fan tweeted him;
“@Tyga_scar: Mexican keeper remynds me of @IIKHUNE_32_16 im tokn abt wow saves damn.bt it aint ova til de fat lady sings #WorldCup2014 TEAM BRAZIL”
And Khune did an honorable thing and RTed the guy, he didn't even say thanks or anything like that, I'm assuming he did not pay that much mind into it, he continued to tweet about the game. Needless to say that nobody knew this Mexican keeper before the WC, well he's Ochoa and he's quite amazing and he is not signed to any team if that's important so he's pretty much a nobody (for lack of a better word).
As we were still marinating in the fact that Brazil is gon draw, another Khune fan tweeted:
“@8VINCENT: Ths mexican keeper be doing those million dollar @IIKHUNE_32_16 saves. Top notch fly”
And our Khune RTed and nobody said anything and if I actually had super powers I would've put Khune to sleep immediately after that RT. What this tweet did is it affirmed that Khune is as good as Ochoa, in his head of course, only then it hit him that he's actually the best, and he wouldn't just let that compliment slide with just an RT. Khune went on to give Black Twitter ammunition by tweeting:
“@IIKHUNE_32_16: Im very humbled to be compared to the likes of #ochoa .”
Maaaaan, twitter went wild! I ain't never seen so many memes, everyone was pretty much twit picing their reaction to the tweet more than anything. Tweeps were in disbelief as to how can this nigger compare himself with Ochoa when he is chilling on his couch...
Chill was nowhere to be found:
“@MoerSkont: Lmao! Who drew such comparison? “@IIKHUNE_32_16: Im very humbled to be compared to the likes of #ochoa .””
“@NeoMoja: :'D not today my captain, not today. "@IIKHUNE_32_16: Im very humbled to be compared to the likes of #ochoa ."”
“@Dutch23t: Humbled??yday u didn't know him mos,"@IIKHUNE_32_16: Im very humbled to be compared to the likes of #ochoa .""”
“@OfentseZA: We lost the league still:( “@IIKHUNE_32_16: Im very humbled to be compared to the likes of #ochoa .””
“@mohloboloko: And that's why Euphonik a nyakile go o mura! O na le mosela!!! "@IIKHUNE_32_16: Im very humbled to be compared to the likes of #ochoa ."”
It went on and on like this, the point was simple; Khune is crazy and there were some who already knew how far this will stretch.
“@Lemonka: Khune will trend in 3min.”
“@pearl_makhunga: This. Won't. End. Well. “@IIKHUNE_32_16: Im very humbled to be compared to the likes of #ochoa .””
“@killaldinho: @IIKHUNE_32_16 lol king unzima kakhulu kuno #ochoa uyakhumbula ukuthi u foiled Neymar kwiConfed?to u King this is Nothing,u have a talent”
“@chatlas: Ya o ntswembu ska yena..probably better “@IIKHUNE_32_16: Im very humbled to be compared to the likes of #ochoa””
“@chatlas: Ive seen Khune pull a lotta stops like that…..ibile ka distribution o fa dai maan masepa!”
“@JabbuM: Wait.. Guys what's KHUNE missing... Y'all go on like KHUNE wasn't wanted by Man United, and Chelsea at a point.”
“@JabbuM: KHUNE saved us when we won against Spain.. Mxm, y'all don't feel the guy, for what reason, aiii I don't know.”
Some tried applying their brains shem...
“@AkhonaMashaya: When Gary Bailey & Bruce Grobelaar were one of the best keepers in the world we celebrated and boasted. Khune is almost there simenza ikaka”
“@Khotso_93TI: All Khune said is that he's humbled to be compared to #Ochoa , but tweeps took it as if he was highly rating himself!”
“@Khotso_93TI: Saying it once again: The retaliation to Khune by tweeps was unnecessary, he didn't compare himself but a tweep did!”
“@iDontGotHoes_: Y'all didn't know that dude before tonight and suddenly he's better than Khune,a club less dude? Y'all don't respect Khune.”
“@Silly_boy_Kaos: Humble =boikokobetso (sotho) ukuzithoba(zulu) !!!! Don't misunderstand nor misinterpret the word ....just rephrase Khune's tweet”
The Good, The Bad and The.... Unnecessary
“@KMalatji: Khune is to football what @akaworldwide is to rap”
“@mazz706: The way you laugh RT @OscarC_Dynasty: Bari Khune needs another clap in tha face from Euphonik for that tweet. . """:D”
“@Pimp_KB: Ever since Euphonik threatened Khune, Khune hasn't been the same man.”
“@Casey_Mzimela: Khune blocking people on Twitter but he barely blocks the ball on the field”
“@Tiffany_Lekuku: Humbled to be compared to the likes of Kim K”
Then tweeps lost it...
“@BvgsBvnny: Some catching feelings outchea! Like defending Khune will bring back their runaway fathers.”
“@joaomatthews_: Twitter will find a way to call you fatherless. e.g. "Niggas slandering Khune but *insert fatherless reference here*."”
“@Nduey_Escobar: Uhlala naye? @uNgoza: Busy making fun of khune while he lives in a mansion and u live in a 4 room”
“@Thato_Legend: Those "Khune earns more money than you" locusts are up. How's the weather?”
Then shem those who didn't find this whole thing funny..“@Nthaybee: Tlohelang Khune hleng, outlwile ao”
“@Ooh_Mile: Wish I also find Khune's tweet funny. Coz right now i'm yawning non-stop.”
Then a local rapper no one really knows tried to be Captain Save Khune when he should be saving his rapping career.
“@SeanPages: but Khune is good. Unfortunately in SA we have a bad habit of being quick to laugh at own while embracing outsiders.”
Nobody really paid mind to him.
