I know we suck, I admit to that. But man, the refs aren’t even giving us a chance here.

We were robbed.
We are playing much better than I expected, the acute lack of experience is showing though.

Another chance lost, Evidence actually prevented the ball from going into the net.

Don’t think Ghana would have allowed Ofofri back in the team hotel had Evidence scored. At least he’s based in Johannesburg, so he’d be fine.

Guy is having a terrible game, he must be very glad that the score is still 0-0.

A team of nobodies seems on the way to pulling a massive upset.

If those European based teams can continue to do us a favour and not allow their players to play in “high risk areas”, we may have a chance.

Credit where credit due as they did play better than most of us expected. Ghana are a stronger team on paper and it was a quiet afternoon for Ronwen Williams in goal.
Good displays from Hlongwane and Teboho Mokoena while Xulu was resolute in defence.

Still a long way to go. We tend to buckle away from home and the conditions will be difficult in Ethiopia and Ghana but this performance was refreshing. It was scrappy but international games are mostly that way.

Terrible officiating but this is not the first time nor the last time a howler like this will be given. VAR needs to be introduced to African football ASAP.

Those who collect points earlier mostly benefit from the chaos and panic that ensues in the after games, I think this win will go a very long.

Since these are all Fifa WC qualifiers whether they are in Africa or Europe shouldn't it be standard to have VAR? Or are Fifa WC qualifiers in Africa fall under CAF and so on for other federations?
Officiating is terrible in Africa. Outside of like top 5 countries on the continent, officials are so terrible. It really devalues the game. Good officiating is really far away. CAF needs to do more here.
Unfortunately, VAR is even further away. We can't even get the basic camera stuff right. I regularly watch Asian and South / Central American games and the quality of broadcasts are miles ahead even if the quality of football is rather poor in Asia. The problem is that African football will never be a good product if the quality of broadcasts is so poor. Footage is shaky, the replays are really poor quality, there are only one or two cameras which cover the action. Its a real shame because the football can be exciting and way better quality than Asia.

There was drama at St Mary's Stadium, Kitende as a yet to be identified spectator stood in front of the camera, blocking view of the game on live television.

This is not even the first time this kind of stuff has happened.
The confederations are in charge of qualifiers. So its all on CAF.

It could be money related, but I see they had VAR in the club champions league. FIFA should have mandated it and funded the struggling federations.

FIFA does set some of the rules, like using goal difference as the first tie breaker in WC qualifiers, instead of CAF's preferred head to head method.
