Coach Stuart Baxter, however, was lambasted for not including Orlando Pirates' Thembinkosi Lorch in the squad, as tweeps believed the team would have been far stronger with him in the line-up.

South Africans hung their heads in shame following another loss for the national men's football team, Bafana Bafana, this time in their Afcon match against Morocco on Monday evening.

Midfielder Mbark Boussoufa scored the goal which saw Bafana Bafana lose by 1-0, putting them in third place in Group D, with Morocco at the top. Although all is not lost, chances of the boys progressing from the group are so slim we'd need mathematician William Smith to do some calculations to tell us what they are.

Mothiba and Mokotjo did nothing but he kept fielding them and putting our star Lorch on the bench. SAFA has seen that Shakes was better coz he never qualified through mathematical backdoor.

He doesn't like Pirates players I don't no the reason behind. Even Maela plays better than Hlanti. Hae! Our national coaches

Is he even a coach?
