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!
😬🟥 Yaya Sithole recorded the lowest-ever rating (4.26) by an outfield player in a World Cup match since we started collecting data.
Against Mexico tonight, he made an error leading to a goal and was later sent off... a World Cup outing he'll want to forget. 📉
When Iqraam presses he’s not getting the support he should get with Lyle. He’s isolated. And because the 8s have so much work defensively they take time joining in. We need that number 10.
What does that say about you? Omo no qualify abeg. Omo stay at home and be a hater. Wetin the home is not even your actual home. Dem run around being proud Nigerians in every country except Nigeria.
Omo wetin msunu 🤘🏾
o treinador Hugo Broos escolheu iniciar a copa do mundo com três jogadores importantes no banco de reservas.
Themba ZWANE, Relebohile MOFOKENG e APPOLLIS.
pilares do jogo criativo e ofensivo dos Bafana Bafana nas Eliminatórias africanas.
resultado: jogo sem conexões, sem associações e sem a opção de duelos individuais nos lados de campo.
África do Sul burocrática e longe das suas raizes e identidade de jogo.
It’s difficult for me to understand South Africa’s game plan under Hugo Broos with this 5-3-2.
In preparation games they usually played 4-2-3-1, and at AFCON, in a back five, they used a 5-4-1. So it’s hard to understand this shift away from their usual structure and identity today.
Mofokeng and Appolis are, for me, two of their most dangerous attacking players, but their role today was very limited. Mofokeng didn’t even play. Unless it’s a fitness issue, it’s difficult to understand.
Bitterly disappointed by the South African cowardly approach tonight.
Betrayed the terrific brand of football we saw from Mamelodi Sundowns showcased in the club World Cup - benching likes of Mofokeng epitomised the negativity and they showed Mexico too much respect.

Spain lost their opening game and ended up winning the World Cup, Argentina lost their opening game and won the World Cup. Bafana Bafana is definitely winning the World Cup now it’s confirmed 🔥🔥😭😭😭

@Cerebralcardo We were going to get positive results with that system, the players we have are very good, today's showing doesn't represent how we play, Hugo Broos made a huge error
