Bafana Bafana coach Hugo Broos was found wanting as SA succumbed to a 2-0 World Cup opening day defeat to Mexico https://t.co/HZDLaTpV3J

@tdyani 😢😢

[Nkareng Matshe @Nkareng]

@siyaloyilane @Kei2M Mostly gets last quarter at Downs to manage the game. This coach of ours introduces him when we are trailing and a man down. Very strange tactics

[Nkareng Matshe @Nkareng]

Again it’s all on Broos. Sithole sent off but should never have returned for second half, Zwane sent off but probably introduced too early (doesn’t even get this many minutes at club level). The madala drank us tonight

[Nkareng Matshe @Nkareng]

Terrible performance. Terrible tactics. We disgraced ourselves on the world stage tonight. But we can bounce back in the second game next week. We have no choice. Victory against Czechia is a must. Our coach must be bolder and stop being so archaic

[Nkareng Matshe @Nkareng]

That botched free kick sums up Bafana’s night. Let’s take the defeat and go regroup. A disasterclass!

[Nkareng Matshe @Nkareng]

What.A.Disaster! TWO RED CARDS 😳😳

[Nkareng Matshe @Nkareng]

You retain a system of five at the back and three holding midfielders but it doesn’t help anything defensively. This is squarely on the coach

[Nkareng Matshe @Nkareng]

Haai I give up. Let’s hope we don’t concede more and put focus on the next game . I’ve lost hope

[Nkareng Matshe @Nkareng]

Unfortunately our coach seems to have lost the plot 😳

[Nkareng Matshe @Nkareng]

Sithole should never have returned for second half

[Nkareng Matshe @Nkareng]

Not a good first half by Bafana. Too edgy and appear suffering stage fright. System too defensive but unable to stop Mexico. Something has to give in second half. Make two changes at least

[Nkareng Matshe @Nkareng]

@Lenn_Moleko Yes. IPL-style “strategic timeout”. This will be a long, loooong World Cup

[Nkareng Matshe @Nkareng]

Commercial breaks midmatch? We’ll see it all at this World Cup

[Nkareng Matshe @Nkareng]

@Lenn_Moleko It’s an American thing

[Nkareng Matshe @Nkareng]

These guys been pressing from first minute and we want to play from the back 😳

[Nkareng Matshe @Nkareng]

Good save by Williams

[Nkareng Matshe @Nkareng]

First match of the World Cup and we are kicking off minutes late 🤦🏾‍♂️

Mbekezeli Mbokazi, who could make his World Cup debut for South Africa against Mexico in the opening fixture of the 2026 tournament, is the most popular Major League Soccer player you've never heard of.

The 20-year-old is one of the brightest prospects in South African soccer, and when he moved from Orlando Pirates to Chicago, his fans followed.

More than 572,000 accounts from South Africa follow the Fire, representing a quarter of the team’s social media audience.

And mere months into his tenure in MLS, he has gone on to outpace Lionel Messi, Son Heung-min and the rest of the league’s players in fan voting for the summer’s All-Star Game.
