MOKWENA JOINS PYRAMIDS
Egyptian club Pyramids F.C have appointed South African Rulani Mokwena as the club's new head coach.
The former Mamelodi Sundowns FC , Orlando Pirates Football Club Wydad Athletic Club - WAC, MC Alger coach Mokwena who left Libyan club Al Ittihad SC just a couple days since being appointed 4 month ago has now moved to Egypt.
Only logical thing the Iron Duke can do is blow a big bag on both Witbooi and Letlaku... That's the best way to replace Rele and potentially anticipate Appolis leaving as well

Black African teams have a general psychology issue playing against Euro sides,
they have greatly improved in skill and performance,
but too many times in knockout games once up a goal, its like they can't believe they're actually winning, so they just then self-sabotage and lose out.
This is really the story of Africa in general.
Gotta reject self imposed Ls.
Mbekezeli Mbokazi. TLB. What a colossal defender.
My Man of the Match regardless of the result.
Operating as a centre-back/left centre-back, possesses an outstanding passing repertoire. Genuine playmaker from deep zones, capable of breaking lines through the thirds, switching play with precision, and dictating possession from the back.
Brilliant left foot (a weapon in build-up), allowing him to progress attacks rather than merely circulate possession. Outstanding distribution abilities.
What truly impresses me is his work without the ball. He reads danger early, positions himself intelligently, and consistently arrives in the right place at the right time.
Clearances, blocks, interceptions, recovery runs: he does the fundamentals at an elite level. Rather than diving into challenges, he prefers to anticipate and extinguish attacks before they develop.
Pace allows him to defend large spaces, his 1v1 defending is aggressive yet controlled, and he looks remarkably comfortable defending wide channels when isolated.
In an era where centre-backs are constantly exposed in transition, those qualities are invaluable.
20 y/o and already one of South Africa's brightest defensive prospects. You did your country proud today.
Regardless of the scoreline, that was a centre-back performance full of courage, composure and immense quality.
The future is incredibly bright. ππΏπ¦

Pitso Mosimane has officially submitted his application for the Bafana Bafana head coach position! ππΏπ¦
Also... It's so obvious Appolis plays better on the right, why has he only played there for like 10 minutes the whole tournament? And you could see him get into the game too once he was moved there... Ey kuningi π
It's like the plan was artificial transitions or nothing. The moment Canada stopped giving us the space, we lacked ideas and that's a coaching issue IMO...
We were slicing through them with so much ease in the 1st half that they had to stop pressing us high. But as soon as they stopped, it's like Broos didn't have a plan B or didn't trust our technicians to break through their mid block/low block if we forced them into one...
