Bafana Bafana
After watching Bafana Bafana lose 3-1 to Tunisia on Sunday night, Mamelodi Sundowns coach Gordon Igesund, said some players were not being used in their best positions for the national team.

Igesund may have a solution...


"I believe a team has to be built around the strengths of its players," he said. "When I won the league with Manning Rangers I had a tall striker (George Koumantarakis) and we could knock the ball upfield to him... and I was criticised for this long-ball tactic.

"I could not use the same tactics at Sundowns as the players I have here are different to the players I had at Rangers," said Igesund, who has won the PSL league championship with Rangers, Orlando Pirates, Santos and Sundowns.


Igesund criticised some of the players for being over-elaborate when one pass was all that was needed to finish a move.

Now Bafana Bafana have a very slim chance of getting to the next stage as Angola and Tunisia just need a point each to get to the next round of the Afcon.



On Thursday Bafana take on Senegal who surprisingly lost 3-1 to Angola in their group stage game earlier yesterday evening and, like SA, are on one point only after two games.

 Angola and Tunisia will face each other on the same day (both games start at 7pm) in a match where only a draw is needed. - Sapa
