Let's not create entitlement, those three clubs are the best in their respective countries and leagues. So it's going be a tough one indeed –  Sihle Dlamini 

We will top the group, Borussia Dortmund are not the same. We are Mamelodi Sundowns –  Sfiso Shezi 

Only Dortmund will be the opponents the rest are training facilities for Mamelodi Sundowns – RM Edits

A win against Ulsan HD FC then maybe a draw against Fluminense FC only if we play well. The less I talk about Borussia Dortmund the better, but all in all, going through to the next round is achievable for this group –  Onotywala Andibize

We remain ambitious yet humble, this is a bigger stage for us to showcase to the world what Mamelodi Sundowns football club is capable of. We fully support our team ahead of this historic tournament. Let's go and show them why we are the best team in South Africa – Reel Goats 

Sundowns didn’t deserve playing in the Fifa Club World Cup

In our last club World Cup, we were beaten by an Asian team, so there is no easy team at this stage. But if we can take all the games seriously we may have a chance – Lwazi Malindzisa 

Mamelodi Sundowns are living every South African club's dreams right now – Star Shine Jaquar 

With a good coach, we can easily win this group. I don't see us winning any game with Manqoba and his squad rotation – Kulani Makaringe 

This is the easiest group for Mamelodi Sundowns but the toughest for Mngqithi Manqoba – Mpfareni Rianze 

Mamelodi Sundowns didn't deserve to play in the Fifa Club World Cup. Young Africans SC deserved – Punishertz
