‘Leon is a scam, Matthews is cursed & Cardoso is weak! SA won’t win even one game at World Cup’

Mamelodi Sundowns chances of making the knockout phase of the CAF Champions League hang in a balance after a 1-1 draw against St Eloi Lupopo on Sunday.

The result left the defending Premier Soccer League champions third in Group C with six points. Al Hilal Omdurman have eight points, followed by MC Alger who will play Masandawana in their final pool game.

A draw for the Brazilians will not be enough, they need a win to advance. Have a look at the reactions from the fans after the recent result.

Cardoso needs to go

Tashreeq Matthews is the unluckiest player in our generation. His crime is missing the chances he created beautifully. He genuinely needs help with his finishing. The boy is a gem, please don’t butcher me for this truth, members, damn, I bleed for him – Brother’s Keeper

We dominated and could have made it count by at least by scoring two or three goals. We leave it to the last game in Pretoria against our own – Tino Malinga

Coach Miguel Cardoso needs to go, or Bafana Bafana won’t even win one game at the World Cup. Sundowns are our national team – Isaac Kgafela 

Cardoso keeps making wrong subs. Why take out Arthur Sales when he’s the most likely to score or create? Why bring in Marcelo Allende when we had already played about 70 minutes without him? Mathews drinks us every time, but he still brings him. Why not play Themba Zwane? He could open up that team – Remsa

How is this underachieving Portuguese still employed? Thlope Motsepe has to grow a pair of balls and do what’s best for the team. With trajectory, the team will go trophyless this season – Dumisani

Matthews experiment has failed

Tashreeq Matthews is cursed, shame. He blasted that ball outside the stadium – Ntrulubisi

I hate talking about missed chances, but I love the fighting spirit that I saw in our players – Mthuli

Brayan Leon is a scam. Tashreeq Matthews’ experiment has failed, and Miguel Cardoso is a weak coach – Peace

It’s the referee’s fault, Cardoso has a picture of them talking to Lupopo officials – Syyiden

Even if they said players are loyal and play for the badge, you cannot buy a new player, and they walk straight into the match-day squad from the plane, while others need to prove their worth. Eventually, that will cause players to never play for the coach who is unfair – King Zama
