At his first press conference in Saudi Arabia following his multi-million dollar move to join Al Nassr, football star Ronaldo rather embarrassingly got the name of his new host country wrong.

"It's not the end of my career to come to South Africa," he said, in an earnest voice against a backdrop proudly proclaiming "Saudi welcome to Arabia".

While it was obviously a slip of the tongue, it hasn't stopped some South African football fans dreaming of seeing one of the world's most famous stars playing for their local team.

Although @NalaThokozane felt the move would have been exciting, she couldn't resist having a dig by saying "our league also has slots for part-time players".
