WIlliams believes future is bright for Bafana despite Afcon exit IOLSport

A summary of Bafana Bafana’s performance in the Africa Cup of Nations reads a lot like the analysis of the tournament Ronwen Williams had in his coming-of-age display. The 27-year-old goalkeeper showed that the future is bright, and that he can be Bafana’s No 1 just as long as he cuts out what he calls “silly mistakes” that creep into his game now and then.

It’s the same with Williams - he can be the country’s No 1 but doesn’t show it consistently as was shown by his brilliant performance against Ivory Coast, only to concede a soft goal in the dying minutes of the loss to Nigeria.“It was a bad way to concede and to go out in that manner is bad,” he said.

Bafana players were dejected after losing to the Super Eagles. Their body language showed they wanted to reach the semi-finals but their performance didn’t. They retreated to the conservative nature that held them back in the group stage. “In the big games, against the big teams and under the spotlight, we can play. The more we believe that and the more we stop hyping other teams, the better it will be for us.
