Hugo Broos has confirmed his final decision to not continue as Bafana Bafana head coach but he could still serve in another capacity.
"Will I continue as a coach after all? No, it is irreversible! If they need me for something else, perhaps in scouting: that is something else. But football is no longer going to be a part of my life 24 hours a day."

In 2011, Julius Malema & the ANCYL championed Nationalisation mnes and local mineral refining. What did Zuma do? Expelled him to please foreign interests. Fast forward to today. Zuma copies Malema’s exact 15-year-old script word for word at MK Party rallies, and his non thinking followers cheer it on like it’s brand new revolutionary logic. The absolute jokes write themselves! 🫵🏾🤡🇿🇦
For those who aren't clear on what I said. The "touch" on Martinez and that on Salah are the exact same thing. One is a foul and the other isn't even looked at.
Egypt hard done by tonight in my view.. congrats to Argentina though.. they still scored the goals they needed.
Exactly! The problem in this game wasn't VAR, it was the ref's interpretation of what constitutes a foul. I strongly believe any other ref would reach different conclusions looking at the same footage.
There had not been inconsistencies in the way fouls were called through out the game.
It was a clear foul on the one end, not a slight touch on the pinky toe.
VAR had been consistently applied through out the tournament.

This was hailed as the correct way to use VAR. Fast forward to 2026, same situation, and people are writing think pieces...
looking at the amount of blunders that french ref made yesterday, I'm beginning to doubt there was any behind the scenes corruption. Dude is completely clueless. He definitely shouldn't be at the WC

Red cards are not overturned by political phone calls. They are overturned by rules, evidence and independent bodies. If a U.S. President intervenes with the FIFA President — and a player is suddenly cleared before a World Cup knockout match — the question is unavoidable: Quo vadis, FIFA?
