Bafana need a deadly finisher
Great game. We could have finished the game in the first half as we were in control but it was not to be. We need a deadly finisher, that’s all. It was a top-notch performance by our boys against a determined aggressive Nigerian team. We are slowly but surely getting there – Thamsanqa Zwane

We need VAR seriously in these qualifiers Bashiru held Mvala in the box that goal was supposed to be disallowed because there was a foul there – Izzy-e Nxams Nxamalala

South Africans should focus on smoking nyaope and since blankets are now prohibited in Lesotho we will focus on football – Thapelo Seele
Exhausted Bafana players

Tau making Bafana team one-man short
With Percy on the field sometimes feels like we are playing one-man short – Sipho Flame

He’s overrated and there’s nothing we can say as supporters because they love him so much. Let’s just pray that he retires from the national team on his own – Livingston Ntlebi
Coach to advise Tau to retire
Tau needs a good coach to advise him to retire – Sipho Flame
Bafana lack basics upfront
