‘Bafana do right thing; rest Sundowns & play best team Pirates! But Broos will field six defenders including Chaine & Goss’

Published on by

Bafana Bafana play South Korea in Group A’s final 2026 FIFA World Cup fixture at the Monterrey Stadium in Mexico.

South Korea can do with a point since they have already collected one win already, against the Czech Republic, but South Africa have no option except to defeat them. They are currently on a single point that came from a draw with Czech in their second pool outing.

Bafana Bafana have never made the knockout phase in the previous three tournaments they competed. Hugo Broos is hoping to guide them to the Round of 32.

Have a look at what football fans in the country are saying, as sampled by Afrik-Foot, ahead of the highly anticipated game.

Mbokazi must play in midfield

Give Sipho Chaine a chance, actually rest all Sundowns players and play those from the best attacking team in South Africa, Orlando Pirates – Rele Glo

Bafana Bafana must do the right thing, we can’t just wake up at 3 o’clock with this cold and still play nonsense – Mupfi wadzithabelo

So long as we continue with the correct formation and player selection, we’re going to be alright. We just need the guys not to concede within the first 30 minutes – Basil Kepadisa

Mbekezeli Mbokazi must play midfield so he can chase the keeper from poles with his powerful shots – Thina Maseu

Practice shooting on target, it has been abysmal. Can’t be wasting chances in the World Cup like you’re playing Chippa United – Brad Chilling

Bafana Bafana be part of history!

Hugo Broos will field six defenders, including Sipho Chaine and Ricardo Goss, all at once. I don’t trust him, shame – Boni Given

We support Bafana Bafana, and we have faith in them, but we need to face reality at some point. We won’t get a win/draw against South Korea, that’s a fact. Let’s come back and work hard for the upcoming AFCON – Bucks MG 

Sorry, I can’t wake up for this game, I’m going to watch it in the morning when you come back – Aphelele Mzozo 

All the best, boys; we have witnessed the unimaginable in this World Cup so far. May our team be part of that story. We are behind you, make the haters choke on their bitterness – Lerato Madito 

We need to score goals early and make sure we don’t concede any. We need these 3 points! Please make us proud – Sandile Bongani Mbuyisa
