How to fully enjoy Bafana Bafana?

keep your expectations on flight mode and please stop comparing them to other SA national teams like rugby.

It’s a different sport, different management, different vibe, different budget and honestly a different mentality altogether.

[PABLO @WonderMahlobo]

Let’s have hope that Hugo Bross is not all talk but he will use Sundowns experience in hostile environments and start Adams and Mokoena in that midfield. I won’t mention names cos we are supporting all the boys but that man must most start.

@Mbali_Sigidi @Hollywoodbets Raul Jimenez

[SnqoeMasinga ✌️ @SnqoeMasinga]
