Better Know a 2023 WWC Participant – The Lesser Springbokesses of South Afrika!

First and foremost, let us all raise our fists in solidarity:

Secondly, fuck that “Banyana Banyana” noise.  What kind of nickname* is THAT?  Lesser Springbokesses or GTFO.

*apparently translates roughly to “The Girls.”  Team Ireland no longer looks so uncreative now, does they?

South Afrika is the 54th ranked squadron in the world.  In women’s international footy terms, that means they are fodder.  They will not pass go.  They will not collect $200.

Speaking of, my Dad was always a stickler for the printed Monopoly rules, even to not putting orange moneys in the “Free Parking” pool.  And y’all wonder why Hippo is no NAWT FUN.

Anyway what was my point?  I have no point, and neither will the Lesser Springbokesses.  They’ve also apparently been in a pay dispute with their national federation, to absolutely nobody’s surprise who’s tracked SA politics since Nelson Mandela died.  They went on strike for the last warmup friendly, and one of their scabs was thirteen years old.  FFS, that’s barely Marc Trestman’s Windowless Van age!

I couldn’t even find a player to fixate on, from a performance or perversion standpoint.  The most famous “domestic side” for any of their players seems to be Italy’s Su-su-suddio (whoa-OHHHHHH).  Hey, I tried to get BC Dick to write some of these.  In closing, here’s an actual South Afrikan band/song!  One of Hippo’s all time faves.
