Time to Fukcing move.

Dammit. Man

 

[sand_man]

Disappointing end to an otherwise successful campaign.

 

[TheChamp]

Now I just don't have the energy for the next game.

 

[GrootVoet]

I'm not a soccer follower but well done to Bafana Bafana for getting this far. We lost but was not humiliated.

I hope we can build on this team for the next big competition.

 

[lilggg]

**** we had that

 

[lilggg]

Well done we played well...much better than expected .I hope we can maintain this and improve

Same here.

I hope we can build on this team for the next big competition.

I just hope BB qualifies for the World Cup in 2026 (would be their first WC since 2010).

 

[Dups!]

Losing like that is disappointing. The game was there for the taking.

 

[Mzezman]

They played better than any Bafana side I can remember. Hugo has done well with his coaching structure and tactical setup… if they keep him and bring some exciting youngsters they will keep doing well

 

[6spdmanual]

I’ll see the positives tomorrow. Until then, **** this.

 

[Heisenborg]

They did really well. Kudos

 

[L-Dog]

Same here.

I think we will, there is more spots (9 up from 5) and we are playing better however the top 5 teams fell out of Afcon early so its not a given.

 

[stefan9]

So close, yet so far.

 

[JuliusSeizure]

It's something to build on. If they can continue to play like that, we can at least qualify for the 2026 World Cup. I'd take playing in the World Cup over winning Afcon tbh.

We haven't qualified properly for a WC since Radebe and Benni's days in 2002. We got into 2010 as hosts and would not have qualified if we had to go through proper processes that year.

I hope they have now improved the Africa WC qualification format now. Before it was structured in a way that the best teams did not always qualify. Egypt and Senegal should not have had to play each other last time for a spot especially as both were consistent.

Imo, the African qualification format was one of the reasons it took so long for the continent to have a team in the semis of the WC.

I'd take the winning, we don't do enough of it to justify your point of view.

Kudo's to the coach, for getting the performance he has from what are essentially a lot of donkeys. Half decent donkeys, but still donkeys. Only really good talent in the team is the keeper, and as good as he is, he lacks a bit of hieght.

If only the coach, could get the buggers to score goals.

They progressed further than I initially expected them to.

So hopefully the coach stays, and gets the team to score goals they are desperately in need of.

Keep improving Bafana
