‘Even if Lorch scores 30 goals we don’t care! Broos can’t swallow his pride but even Foster can’t do sh*t’

South African Thembinkosi Lorch continued with his fine form this weekend as he inspired his team Wydad Casablanca to sustain their top position in the Botola Pro League.

The 32-year-old – who has been overlooked by Bafana Bafana coach Hugo Boos severally, was on target as Waydad Athletic Club beat Olympique de Safi 2-1 on Sunday. It was his fourth goal in the Moroccan top-flight football, and fifth in nine games across all competitions.

Whoever advised Lorch to go to Morocco deserves flowers

It's time for Bafana Bafana coach Hugo Broos to swallow his pride and call Thembinkosi Lorch to the national team squad – Bhengu Lindokuhle

I remember Hugo Broos didn't want to pick Themba Zwane because of his age back then. He was pushed by the media and fans. Finally, he picked him, and the rest was history. Now it's on Lorch – Melo Tlou 

Good for Thembinkosi Lorch. He will sit on TV and watch Master Chef Sipho Mbule at the AFCON and in the United States of America during the World Cup – Deon Baloyi 

Hugo Broos says he would rather use a defender in Thapelo Morena as a backup winger for Nkota than call for Thembinkosi Lorch in that position – Owen Kowa

Whoever convinced Lorch to leave South Africa deserves some flowers. Lorch, since his arrival in Morocco, has been doing wonders; we saw even in the FIFA Club World Cup – Retired Simp

Broos can't swallow his pride for loss!

Broos will never take away the shine from Nyoso. We need him at the World Cup; Evidence Makgopa can't do a quarter of what this guy does, even Lyle Foster can't do sh*t – Ghetto Star

Hugo Broos called up Themba Zwena on a cast, but can't swallow his pride for Lorch. It's a hot mess –  Chippamidrand

In Europe, you will find a 38-year-old in the Italian squad or Croatia having a 35-year-old, but in South Africa, a 32-year-old is done – Sir Boh 

This is not enough for him to earn a National team Call-up. Even if he can score 30, we don't care – Khaya Lesizwe

Ageism is actually so wrong. It's like someone saying Hugo Broos is too old to coach, and he is flipping old, but he is still able to perform his coaching duties. He can pick the players he wants for his team, but we must question him if he is unreasonable in his selections – Des Moloto
