2022 FIFA World Cup feature preview, Semifinal, Match 61, 13 December 2022

All SuperSport viewers on all DStv and GOtv packages will be treated to unrivalled coverage for the remainder of the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar.
That’s right, ALL customers on all packages can watch the semifinals and final of the World Cup.
DStv and GOtv is the only true home of football in Africa, offering a range and depth of action that no other rival can match – it’s literally ‘Unbeatable Football’! If you’re going to spend your money on something, it may as well be on the best football in the world.
The first semifinal of the 2022 World Cup pits Croatia against Argentina at the Lusail Iconic Stadium on the evening of Tuesday 13 December.
The Blazers shocked the football world by defeating Brazil on penalties (after a 1-1 draw over 120 minutes) in the first quarterfinal on Friday, while La Albiceleste triumphed over the Netherlands thanks to a goal and an assist from the legendary Lionel Messi – as well as nerves of steel in a penalty shootout!
“This is a victory for Croatian people,” said coach Zlatco Dalic after the triumph over Brazil. “A great match. We eliminated the main favourites. This is Croatia – pride, courage, faith and patriotism.”
He added, “Croatia is the best when it’s needed. When it matters, Croatia always succeeds. No one should underestimate us. This is not the end, we are moving on. We can achieve a lot.”
Meanwhile, Argentina coach Lionel Scaloni believes his side’s blend of quality and grit could yet tale them further in the tournament.
“That’s our identity – we fight for every single ball and try to be strong. That’s what we asked our players ahead of the match, and that really reassured us – that’s what we saw on the pitch,” said Scaloni.
Key players
Lionel Messi – The narrative that this World Cup will be Messi’s crowning moment as the greatest player of all time is gathering pace. However, the player himself will need to put all that out of his mind and focus on unlocking Croatia’s resilient defence.
Luka Modric – Croatia’s extraordinary playmaker continues to defy expectations (and father time!), having guided the Blazers into the final four of the World Cup for the second successive time. The Real Madrid man will aim to dominate the middle of the park, but how much does he have left in the tank?
Head-to-head stats
In head-to-head stats, Argentina and Croatia have met in five previous matches. La Albiceleste and the Blazers have two wins each, with one game drawn. The teams’ most recent meeting was a group stage match at the 2018 World Cup in Russia which Croatia won 3-0 thanks to goals from Ante Rebic, Luka Modric and Ivan Rakitic.
Battles to watch
Lionel Scaloni v Zlatko Dalic – Scaloni’s Argentina have come a long way since their opening defeat to Saudi Arabia, but they face their toughest task in trying to break down Dalic’s defensive-minded Croatia.
Julian Alvarez v Dominik Livakovic – Alvarez has been a great foil for Messi in Argentina’s attack, but he’ll need to show sharp finishing to get the better of the outstanding Livakovic, who has been one of the star goalkeepers at Qatar 2022.
Rodrigo de Paul v Marcelo Brozovic – Two of the hardest-working midfielders at the World Cup, the battle between relentless runners De Paul and Brozovic will be one which determines control of the all-important ‘engine room’.
No rival can compete with SuperSport’s coverage. Our viewers on DStv and GOtv enjoy an unrivalled selection of football from around the world!

Apple Music reveals Yung D3mz as the latest Up Next Artist in Ghana

Apple Music today announced Afro-fusion rapper and songwriter Yung D3mz (real name Nicholas Edem Coffie) is the latest musician to be featured in its Up Next artist development program in Ghana.
“Look ma, I’m Up Next! It’s an honour to be considered amongst the new guard of Ghanaian music,” he tells Apple Music. “I’m super geeked for this major opportunity to share my story and my art.

Must-watch trailer: cheerleaders are turning up dead in Trompoppie

Homebrew pulled together an equally all-star crew, including SAFTA nominees Sunel Haasbroek (Hans Steek Die Rubicon Oor, Alles Malan) as DOP, Marné van der Burgh (Blood & Water) as costume designer, Johan Prinsloo (Tali’s Joburg Diary) and Eva Du Preez (Nêrens, Noord-Kaap, Die Boekklub) as editors, and Loki Rothman (Troukoors) creating the original music.
Fourie’s previous project, Stiekyt, was an intensely personal arthouse hit, nominated for five 2023 SAFTAs after screening at International Film Festival Rotterdam and at Tallinn Black Nights Film Festival, where festival programmer Edvinas Pukšta described the film as “Hitchcock meets Almodóvar in a South African drag club.”
In contrast, Fourie says he wanted to make Trompoppie for a much wider audience. “Trompoppie is a love letter to audiences,” he says. “It’s a wild ride but it’s entertainment, pure and simple, a whodunnit made to keep you on the edge of your seat, to get you excited to be the first to know what’s going to happen next before your friends and colleagues. I wanted my mother to be able to watch it, my sisters, my friends: anyone should be able to watch it and be surprised and entertained.”
While you wait for 7 December 2023, watch Fourie’s films Stiekyt, Die Windpomp, and Liewe Kersfeesvader on Showmax, as well as his series Tydelik Terminaal.

Showmax Original “Tejiri” Premieres on Akwaaba Magic This November

An ongoing long-term investment by MultiChoice in developing talent for the content, production and entertainment industry is having an impact across Africa and helping to grow vibrant new economic hubs on the continent. This investment, the Multichoice Talent Factory (MTF), is a shared-value initiative that provides a platform for the TV and film industries to develop talent and build partnerships.
Earlier this year, Africa’s premium streaming platform, Showmax, commissioned some Ghanaian alumni of the MTF initiative to produce a feature length film titled “Tejiri”. This came because of a successful pitch which these alumni had completed to the Showmax team. Shot here in Ghana by award-winning directors Deladem Duvi and Joshua Tsootsoo, this duo assembled a team comprising other MTF Alumni amongst others to accomplish this project “Tejiri”.
“Tejiri” is a compelling film that delves into the intricacies of power, corruption, and the resilience of the human spirit in the face of adversity. Set against the backdrop of an average African society, the story revolves around Tejiri, a young man whose life takes an unexpected turn when he is randomly thrown into prison for a crime, he knows nothing about. As he struggles to comprehend the injustice he has been subjected to, the outside world begins to unravel the mystery of his disappearance. He must define his place in this vicious new world if he is to survive or be found, as lead Detective Prempeh and his partner Baako race against time to uncover the mystery behind his disappearance.
At its core, the film aims to explore the duality of society both as a collective organism driven by political interests, and as an entity that can profoundly impact individual lives. It takes the audience on a rollercoaster journey, witnessing the contrasting perspectives of an average African society grappling with greed and the constant manipulation of its politicians, while simultaneously examining the profound, life-altering effects such machinations can have on one person.
“It came as no surprise to us when the organisers of the International Festival of Author Film of Rabat selected our film Tejiri for screening at the 28th edition of the International Festival of Author Film in the Africa Cinema Section scheduled for Rabat Morocco in December 2023,” said Deladem Duvi. “My team and I are excited about this rare opportunity to share our film with the world at this festival. Similarly, we encourage African movie lovers to make a date for the premiere of ‘Tejiri’ on DStv and GOtv on the 19th of November 2023.”
“Our vision was to celebrate of the unyielding human spirit in finding the light through our film and would like to extend our appreciation to Showmax, cast, crew, the MTF and all other supporters who in diverse ways supported us.”
The Africa wide premiere of the Showmax original “Tejiri” on Akwaaba Magic is scheduled for the 19th of November 2023 at 7pm on DStv (Ch150) and GOtv (Ch102).
