Mamelodi Sundowns were undone by USM Alger on Sunday in the CAF Super Cup fixture staged at the Loftus Versfeld Stadium.
Masandawana had an advantage of playing at home, on the pitch they are used to, only to fall 3-1 against the Algerian outfit. It turned out to be a frustrating outing for the fans.
It is another salt on the wound especially after Sundowns were eliminated from the CAF Champions League despite being holders.
MTN8 curse?
Some critics claimed the Brazilians made a mistake by winning the MTN8 after beating Orlando Pirates in the final

The CAF Super Cup was brought to your doorstep and you still lost! – Mesh Ke
They thought we were crazy when we told them that once you touch MTN8, there’s nothing that will go well for you in CAF competitions – Spirax Ash
I heard you are going to be the first team to win a treble in three months, what happened? – Tony Mthembu
So my Sundowns don’t have creative players such that they depend on Cassius Mailula and later Tashreeq Mathews to unlock their opponents? I mean, Teboho Mokoena and Marcelo Allende are not attacking midfielders. So since Themba Zwane slowed down it means we are doomed? -Hazael Lekoko
USM Alger are not difficult to play against, but our coaches gambled with us! How do you bench experience in the final? – Fourie M Efzet
Time up for Cardoso!
A section of Masandawana faithful feel it is time for the management to consider replacing coach Miguel Cardoso.

How do you field players coming back from injuries? – John Haris
It looks like Mamelodi Sundowns are becoming just a name – Lesego Long Mamosha
Cardoso must leave Sundowns, we need a coach who will have the balls to drop Ronwen Williams. Why did Antonio Van Wyk and Siyanda Ndlovu not start the match? – Una Ramakuela MK
We thank Miguel Cardoso for the CAF Champions League trophy. But it’s time to go – Ayanda Manana
If we don’t sign the petition, Miguel Cardoso will send our team to the Motsepe Foundation – S’thembiso Shaka
