The South African football conversation is fascinating, because - like anywhere - there’s so much context required before you’re able to understand the full picture…
One of SA’s biggest strengths on a domestic level is a big contributor to their struggles on the world stage. The PSL is lucrative and is at a good level, so there’s no need to leave.
At Mamelodi Sundowns you can conquer the continent, and earn incredibly well in doing so. At Orlando Pirates you can win trophies and play in front of tens of thousands of people.
But there are levels to this game, and when you’re not at the highest level every week then you’ll feel it when you’re up against players that are.
Benni, Lucas, Schillo, Shoes, Fish, Bartlett and so many more effectively had to leave. They became better players - and #Bafana became a better team - because of it.
This isn’t about disrespect for the PSL, because it’s an excellent product with the really good players, but for SA to grow on a global scale, we need more talent in the big leagues.
@the_smallie Yeah, they aren't playing anything special because the team is good. They need not play anything special to win at this stage. Messi is special isn't he?

Did you know ?
Lucky Dube was fatally shot on October 18, 2007, in Johannesburg during a botched carjacking. Court records and testimonies from the 2009 trial confirmed that the assailants did not recognize the reggae icon and mistakenly believed he was a Nigerian 🇳🇬.
Because of their h@t€ for Nigerians they killed a world music lagend
@Bhanz_TheBeat@Sinawo_Thambo You are right but you see, the clamp down on illegal immigrants in those countries were/are done by law enforcement agencies not thugs.
