Bazalwane, we won’t get higher than 4 points. Korea will get to 6 (if they beat Mexico). Mexico will also get to 6 next week when they beat Czechia.
Finishing 3rd forces us to take out calculators. Zwane suspension, Sithole red card, plus 2 yellows today is a huge disadvantage for us.
We must finish 2nd. Korea must lose against Mexico.
End.
One constant so far in the World Cup is the need for defensive solidity. So important to frustrate these big teams by denying them clear opportunities.
Going band for band is a recipe to catch a hiding and coaches know this.
I watched the match between South Korea vs Czechia, bafana bafana will bite the dust in both matches 😭.
Hugo Broos is coward and he's responsible for our mental health because WTF 😭😭😭

There’s no way we can go into that game on Thursday wanting to combat them with strength & physicality. We have to play our game & to our strength. Play fast, play with wingers & get our creative players playing
I know this might sound harsh, but that was genuinely one of the biggest managerial disasterclasses I've ever seen.
This man called up 4 wingers and 3 strikers, only to bench all of them and start the opening World Cup game with a 5-3-2 that he hadn't used even once during the friendlies. He benched all of his forwards and lined up with 5 defenders and 5 midfielders against Sweden.
It gets worse. He played a defensive full-back who is basically a hybrid CB profile like Kounde for example and he played him as a wing-back, used our backup left-back, who arguably didn't even deserve a call-up, as a left centre-back, and after going 2-0 down by halftime, he didn't make a single substitution until the 72nd minute.
And when the changes finally came, they somehow made even less sense.
He brought on a central midfielder to play wing-back, and a left winger to play on the right, and then took off both of his defensive midfielders for an attacking midfielder and a striker. We literally finished the game with a double pivot made up of two number 10s.
I'm serious when I say this is the kind of squad management you wouldn't even see in FIFA Career Mode.
We've faced teams like England, Belgium, France, and Spain at World Cups before. We've always been underdogs. Yet somehow, our biggest defeat in World Cup history came against Sweden.
That alone should tell you everything you need to know about how badly this game was handled.
I know most of you probably don't care about Tunisia's tactical disasters, but I just needed to get this off my chest.
This post has been popping up a lot, clearly you’re baiting with it. The least you can do is bait with your real account instead of a burner. Come out and say it with your chest. Fine, I’m baited (my pastor will be so disappointed because he preached about taking offense and being baited in today’s service).
I digress. Sue Nyathi’s book, The Polygamist is more than 13yrs old because I actually have a copy. The Mseleku reality show is 8yrs old or so. You claim the story is stolen, that Netflix wouldn’t have bothered, Sue did nothing special? Aowa wena real writer, write your own book- about anything really since nothing is new under the sun- so that the respect we shouldn’t be giving to Sue (who’s not a real writer even with four books) can be given to you. I hope your book is a banger so Netflix can bother and turn it into a number 1 show- a spot #ThePolygamist doesn’t deserve according to you.
