But it is her reason for picking Messi over Ronaldo that raised eyebrows.

Messi, because Ronaldo is a p**s, she is heard saying. When her colleague asks can you even say that?, Twiggy responds I just did.

TWEEPS FEEL THERE ARE QUALIFIED WOMEN WHO CAN ANALYSE SOCCER This whole World Cup has had influencer women on Supersport who don't give a damn about soccer and it's so infuriating because there are so many women who could actually give proper commentary, a tweep replied.

Twiggy called the most popular footballer in the world a p**s on national TV. You may dislike Ronaldo but there's a better way to express negative feelings esp at work. I wana see if Supersport is going to retain her, another tweep wrote.

While another wrote: They hired a person who doesn't know anything about sports! SHE KNOWS ZERO. Ronaldo is a p**s' she really thinks she's on a twitter debate.
