Bafana Bafana vs Panama: ‘Rele is good vs useless teams! SA can’t go to WC with Makgopa & Zwane’s legs are gone’

Bafana Bafana were held to a 1-1 draw by Panama in an international friendly staged at the Moses Mabhida Stadium in Durban on Friday night.

The visitors scoed first through Edgar Barcenas who capitalised on poor defending in the 23rd minute. But South Africa had the last laugh thanks to Oswin Appollis who responded three minutes after the break.

However, the fans were not impressed with Hugo Broos’ men, who were using the game to prepare for the 2026 FIFA World Cup. Have a look at their reactions as sampled by Afrik-Foot.

Bafana Bafana can’t survive the World Cup

We need to be honest about Mofokeng at No.10. He is just good against useless teams like Magesi – Memalia

Bafana Bafana are going to embarrass themselves in the World Cup – Daniel Mpela

Not the results we wanted, but friendly matches are there to help us to see where we are lacking. Overall, a good game – Khanju Sihle

For Themba Zwane, legs are gone, and old age has peaked so badly. Broos must start watching other teams as well. This offers nothing – King Von

Bafana Bafana won’t survive the group stage at the World Cup if they go with this mentality of undermining small countries – Real Mluja

Those players can’t be the best for Bafana Bafana

South Africa can’t go to the 2026 World Cup with Evidence Makgopa and leave Iqraam Rayners at home – Ghetto Star

Relebohile Mofokeng should be protected from sour Kaizer Chiefs fans – Wheres55

This is not how we were playing months ago, and this is certainly not how we should play. We need to switch on; we can’t be dropping the standard now. We have to keep the momentum going. The World Cup is around the corner. We won’t go to the next round with this kind of play – Andre Kroos

No one. Those players can’t be the best that we are sending to the World Cup – Last King DK

We displayed such a bad performance for a team that’s preparing for a World Cup – Uncle Pablo
