Aboutrika on Hugo Broos:
โHeโs afraid of the game. Itโs the first match, so heโs 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 isnโt that special.โ
Strong words from Aboutrika, who clearly believes Bafana Bafana underperformed and left too much on the table in the opener.

This is why South African players need to go play overseas, Mbokazi is the only confident player on the field. Holding on to players like Relebohile is only killing them.
@BafanaBafana Sad but necessary.
Welcome to international football.
Silly SA football fans talking about winning the WC. That time weโve never qualified from Round 1.
From @TheAthleticFC: Tyla sang the South African national anthem before the World Cup began.

@Perihandro43298@sympathyfro@CapeTown_Bru Yes, her parents moved to JHB like many work-seekers around the country do. Her accent / dialect is distinctly DBN. Different slang, and no Afrikaans.
Itโs morning in Mexico, I hope Mokoena is awake and practising free kicks, Mbokazi practising long range shots and Mudau has found a reliable bubblegum supplier.
Players denied entry .
Officials denied entry .
Referees denied entry.
Now they're denying fans entry.
The U.S was a terrible choice to host the world cup.
Halalaaaa Bafana Bafana Halalaaaa!!!
We bumped into a group of South Africans at the Amsterdam Airport Schiphol on their way fo Mexico City and the spirits are high.
