MacG read the EFF's manifesto & made a short remark

But what drove Julius Malema bonkers was the interview with Mcebo Dlamini, who destroyed Malema & trended for over a week

Malema & his supporters were silenced, leaving them without a comeback

@JacintaNgobese Even if you funded by Israel you've made more difference than many politicians could ever dream of making. Continue fighting for a better South African🇿🇦

@Plettigoal A man with authority! Top manager this one. No sugar coating, tell him in his face. He will no doubt take Germany to new heights.

@amafanswethu Sthibo is living like a Mexican😂😂 Representing us well.🇿🇦🇿🇦😎

@GustavoNinela Bro! I've been saying Bafana Bafana can go toe to toe with some European nations, some of these euro nations are indeed overrated. but what I've also realized bafana struggles to play against low blocks that might our stumbling block to beating these teams. #FWC26 #FIFAWorldCup

@KickFutbol_ Trump hired that ref, she's from the US😂

[Sandile @Saider_194]

@MT_Ntsonda There is still a lot of work that needs to be done with this defence, they leave so many spaces in between and their recovery is not that great either. The technical team has a lot of work to do. We can't be conceding in the 1st phases of the game #FWC26

[A Dog That Bites @SkepeMatsebane]

Mofokeng needs to stop passing and shooting like he’s 12 years old. Ball ae tlale leoto man. We are not playing against U12 ya Clapham.

[Sandile @Saider_194]

The expectation from the world for Bafana Bafana🇿🇦 in this #Fifaworldcup26 is so high yet we the underdogs🤔. Give the boys a break please, and let them enjoy themselves.

[Sandile @Saider_194]

@robertmarawa Good performance overall much improved from the previous game. We need to learn a few minor things tactically otherwise, we okay!

[El Capitano⚪ @_izodlalaiTv]

Everything about Bafana Bafana's game plan against Mexico screamed "unprepared team." 📝

■ We have three analysts, yet we somehow concluded that Mudau is a better wing-back option than Sebelebele. We started two strikers together for the first time, while deploying three defensive midfielders behind them.🚮

The formation was poor. The player profiling was even worse.

■ In which season has Mudau ever excelled as an attacking outlet?

There's a reason Sundowns often use him as a third centre-back when pressing high, allowing Modiba greater attacking freedom on the opposite side. Mudau can get forward, but he's unreliable in the final third. He has the pace, but his final ball lacks quality, which limits the team's attacking threat from the right.

As a wing-back yesterday, he looked completely uncomfortable. When we needed attacking qualities from that position, he provided none.

■ The back three served no purpose.

Mbokazi and Okon were involved. Sibisi was simply there. He finished with zero duels won and zero tackles won. Even Ronwen Williams recorded more clearances than Sibisi. The team looked disorganised without the ball and struggled to build from the back. Mexico not scoring 5 is not a sign that the 3 CBs worked, it's another sign that as poor as we were, Mexico were not as good as we made them look. We feared them!

We saw this same issue in Morocco, where it took until after the 80th minute to abandon the ineffective three-centre-back system. Yet we repeated it on one of the biggest stages without properly testing it in friendlies beforehand. We played all friendlies leading to the World Cup with the 4231. 

That points to a coach who is tactically limited and confused. He doesn't understand the strengths and weaknesses of his players.

At half-time, already trailing and struggling to create anything with 8 defensive-minded players on the field, the solutions were obvious:

■ Remove Sibisi and introduce Maseko on the right wing. Add pace, creativity, skill and directness to attack Mexico's defensive weaknesses.

■ Remove Sithole, who continues to struggle in the No.6 role. Bring on Mofokeng as a No.10 and allow Adams and Mokoena to control the game from a double pivot.

■ Remove Foster, move Rayners to lead the line alone, and introduce Appollis on the left. Rayners thrives on running into space, and with more creativity behind him and wider attacking threats, Bafana Bafana could have exploited Mexico's high defensive line. We have the attacking pace sitting on the bench!

Those changes would have asked questions of Mexico. They would have allowed our players to play the football they are actually good at playing. The short combination between the lines. 

You can lose a football match. That's part of the game.

What is unacceptable is setting your team up in a way that gives them little chance of winning in the first place. 

■ It didn't even take Appollis 5 minutes to register a shot on target. Foster and Rayners had spent the entire game failing to trouble Mexico. The Appollis effort was eventually discounted because of the Zwane incident, but it immediately showed the attacking intent and quality we had been missing all night.

Cowardly tactics. Poor player profiling. A wasted opportunity to show the world what South African football is capable of.

[MW @MWTlali]

I saw people blaming Sithole only and truth of the matter is that Ronwen sold him there

He even did the same thing ka 2nd half

[Mateusz Perek @MateuszPerek]

Nie od dziś wiadomo, że Broos jest strasznie pragmatyczny i asertywny co do swoich rozwiązań, ale to co robi w tym meczu z 🇿🇦 RPA to już jest przesada.

Yaya Sithole po fatalnym styczniowym Pucharze Narodów Afryki był skazany przez wszystkich na odstawienie od kadry. Co robi Broos? Wystawia go w wyjściowym składzie na mecz otwarcia z Meksykiem. 🇲🇽

Efekt? Yaya Sithole zawala bramkę w pierwszej połowie, a zaraz na starcie drugiej łapie czerwoną kartkę. RPA przegrywa 0-1.

Reakcja Broosa? Zdejmuje napastnika Fostera (który fakt faktem grał słabo) i wrzuca w jego miejsce Mbathe (który fakt faktem jest solidny), jednocześnie trzymając na ławce cały najlepszy tercet ofensywny w postaci Appolisa, Mofokenga oraz Moremiego. W momencie kiedy trzeba gonić wynik.

Zaraz potem robi kolejną zmianę zdejmując Adamsa kosztem 36-letniego Zwane, będącego bez formy od jakichś dwóch lat. Brak wzmocnień ofensywy wciąż brak.

Nie ogarniam co on tu wyprawia. 🙆‍♂️

[Micky Jnr @MickyJnr__]

Aboutrika on Hugo Broos:

“He’s afraid of the game. It’s the first match, so he’s scared. He went too defensive and right from the lineup, I knew he will lose. I put the blame on the coach. A disastrous match. I am shocked as an African because this team deserves to play much better with the qualities they have. Mexico isn’t that special.”

Strong words from Aboutrika, who clearly believes Bafana Bafana underperformed and left too much on the table in the opener.

[Melissa Reddy @MelissaReddy_]

South Africa unfortunately conspired against themselves from the start here. Undoing the plan so early to be compact and create tension for Mexico, taking unnecessary risks in the face of a high press, gifting Mexico a goal and the ball at will, being nervy and snatching at play.

Such a lack of confidence and conviction in possession, especially when there were spaces to be exposed. Bar the poor decision-making and sloppiness, perhaps the most disappointing element is Bafana Bafana haven’t played like themselves at all. No sign of the slick passing, quick transitions and dangerous use of width.

[Makabe Tsolo @Tsolomm]

You know what I hate the most about this. We’re not even displaying what South African football is really about. I don’t mind losing but I’d rather lose with our style. Where are the short passes we know, where’s the flair? Broos is genuinely restricting us for no reason

@UnplayableZA This Madala is washed🚮

[Sandile @Saider_194]

If we were serious in this world cup this is the game we should have won. #BafanaMexico

[Sandile @Saider_194]

Hugo is a coward this is what you get for playing negative football. Bafana Bafana is an offensive minded team. We force teams to play our way. Regardless of who we play. #FWC2026 #BafanaMexico

[Sandile @Saider_194]

@FisoFlow @KabeloMusic Brother talent is not defined by location rather than the tactical aspects you have, technique so forth. there are a lot of Sans playing abroad but it doesn't mean they are better than the players playing domestic. Quick Q is Sithole better than Mokoena since he plays abroad?🤷‍♂️
