Mali vs. South Africa 2-0 FT

[anointed]

South Africa will one day admit they aren't just good enough at football.
That country can't get a good scorer to save its diamonds.

With all the good organization they have, theirs is a case of having a head
but no cap.

[Babalawo]

SA the huff and puff team of African football.

They play exciting football until they get to the final third

Reminds me of a certain team ...

[YUJAM]

They played so well at the beginning. Percy Tau let the team down with the PK miss.

But S Africa should be better than this. They have the best infrastructure on the continent, and they have the richest clubs. So what's the problem? My theory is their players are too comfy because they don't need to leave S Africa to the better leagues where they'd have to elevate their levels

Absolutely spot on.

I've said it here before. Scoring acumen doesn't just exist at a high level
in the PSL.

They are extremely naive. They played superbly in the first half but the signs were there as they kept getting caught on the ball playing from the back. Second half and Mali just jumped them and they could not respond.

I think they are capable of getting points against Tunisia and Namibia though.

I am not sure about that, they normally struggle with their southern counterparts

If they can't beat Namibia they should Amapiano their backsides home.

S. African football is too insular. They need to open up that league to more outsiders like the EPL. See how EPL diversity helped England.

As for their last game, the team was more selfish in the final third than they were at the last AFCON. Maybe Mali’s defense had a lot to do with it.

Is there a law in South Africa that at any given time there must be at least one Mokoena playing for Bafana Bafana?

Likewise Nigeria alwasy seems to have a Victor on the squad somewhere .. Ikpeba, Agali,Nsofor, Osimhen, Boniface, Moses , Igbinoba and on and on
