Hugo Broos believes South Africa needed to offer more going forward 🇿🇦📈
The manager reflected on his side's lack of attacking threat after the #WorldCup opener. 👀
Ronwen Williams: When we analysed them, most of the games in the last year they played with a back-5, 3-5-2.
Steve Komphela: I’m not sure how many games the analysts watched, because all of us in studio expected Mexico to play 4-3-3.
🤷🏻♂️
That 2010 team was far better than this…
Both the coaches were bad but atleast they had balls to fight for every ball…
South Africa is a hot country, we play in the sun for 90-100 minutes with no breaks in between except for half time…
The sun was not the problem today
This BB team were ourran, outsmarted, and outplayed💔😭
The entire world is sat waiting to see what South African football has to offer and a group of people thought it will be a brilliant idea to debut a 5-3-2 at the biggest stage. I will not lie, I’m livid!
If that half was not ample evidence of the fact that Hugo Broos has outlived his utility as head coach of South Africa, then I don't know what would suffice.
Credit to him for qualifying, but let's be honest: even if you add the three points they were docked for administrative incompetence, they still finished with the lowest points total of any group winner in CAF qualifying. With the utmost respect, the story was Nigeria's pathetic implosion, not necessarily Broos' acumen.
Under the Belgian, both a golden generation of talent and a boom period for the country's club game are being wasted. Bafana are being held back, hamstrung by a coach who clearly disdains the country's footballing identity and mistrusts the technical and tactical excellence that has underpinned the rise of Sundowns. He has come here and, against a fairly ordinary Mexico, dropped into a defensive shape that has not only failed to stifle the hosts, but has simultaneously neutered his own players.
Everybody has that one friend who they would call after something like this just to crash out!! Mina it’s gonna be an hour long call because I have something to say about every minute of that game! I’m mad and not so much at the players. I feel like they were set up to fail, not defending them, I know they should take some responsibility…but that was like putting you in a maths exam after preparing you for a history paper. Ironic because nothing we did counted anyway
hayi bra this is so upsetting. you set the team up for failure. tactics, formation and player selection all nonsense and you want to sit back 1-0 down? hayi fokof man.
