  • Ricardo Goss, Bafana Bafana, September 2023Backpagepix

    How did Goss get selected

    I don't want to sound like I'm against the selection, but honestly speaking, my concern is, how do you select a goalkeeper who hadn't play even a single official game to convince you since the reopening of a new season and leave a goalkeeper who showed a great performance in all 4 games by having a clean sheet in all matches, I mean Ricardo Goss was selected based under which circumstances? - Donald Lechuti

  • Super Eagles of NigeriaBackpage

    Super Eagles will beat Bafana

    Nigeria will beat us with this selection of players, wing-backs no speed, no timing, central midfielders no hard markers defensively we needed a Makhaula, Monare, Nduli just to get us over the line, upfront we needed a Makgopa like maybe Grobler, Mothiba for target men, just my opinion - Allie Ncapayi
