​South Africa 1-2 Nigeria: Bafana dance to West African tune

Cairo — Bafana Bafana are out of the African Cup of Nations. Confronting that fact doesn’t feel all that difficult.

When Bafana entered Cairo International Stadium for the first half, it seemed as though they had slept through Stuart Baxter’s pre-match briefing. Either that or the Scot decided to say little but instead dole out his trusty “give the ball to Percy” shtick. It took only 15 minutes for penance to arrive at the other end. Alex Iwobi’s change of pace got him to the byline — exposing what had been overly static defending. His cutback found Samuel Chukwueze and the young forward bundled it home.The second period brought welcome from all on the pitch. It also saw the introduction of a South African midfield. Dean Furman and Bongani Zungu now took the time to look up and find a pass.

Well done to Nigeria, the best team won

No surprises there....next!

Why am I not surprised - they got in by default, lazy losers

you lose some you win some!

Can you trust such directionless players. In fact God doesn’t bless a Mation so divided with hate such as us. Imagine even if God was merciful would give us progress while we still having Satanic AfriForum

Wat do u expect from Mabena team 🤣🤣

I might not like them very much but there's one thing I cannot take away from the Nigerians, i.e. they are good at soccer and always get the better of our mediocre players when it matters 😎

. 89 min. Poor poor defense.

Okay

What an absolute shocker..

BUSINESS MAVERICK: FIFA to pump millions into South Africa and kickstart amateur football economyA seismic change is about to take place in the funding of amateur soccer clubs by Fifa, and SA clubs need to make sure they are in a position to benefit. I believe they should start with pumping more money into female soccer development!!! Who is controlling the money? In my opinion keep it very far away from Danny Jordaan, also keep him far away from women.
