Bafana Bafana head coach Hugo Broos was full of praise for the entire team following their win over Morocco at the FNB Stadium on Saturday.
South Africa ended their successful AFCON qualifying campaign with a 2-1 over the 2022 FIFA World Cup semi-finalist, curtesy of an own-goal from goalkeeper Munir Mohamedi and a Zakhele Lepasa winner in the 48th minute.
Broos feels the performance against Morocco shows the progress they've made in recent months and hailed the team's defensive organisation and chance creation.
Here's how the readers reacted to Broos' comments in the "Broos Hails Bafana: 'There Were No Weak Players'" story:
"Aubaas, Aubaas... Bathusi is just pure class and welcome in advance to the Sea Robbers. Up the Bucs," says resealaphuti.
"All the players were in FULL FORCE. Keep the light burning my coach," says peloj.
"This madala is trying to bring the glory days back. Qualifying for AFCON on merit means a lot. Madala is transforming the team and we are fully behind him.
"There are games you going to lose and that's just football. Keep up the good work madala," says dalivala18
"Congratulations for the win! But honestly that Mayambela boy was very weak, you brought on Hlongwane who was very weak," says ke.makobe.
"They will always criticize you, especially when we lose, fact remains you changed Bafana madala, so keep up the good work. We are fully behind you as a nation, don't worry about people who never kicked a ball - instead they played cricket. #GO BAFANA," says Ghost1.
Read: Tau: We Can Play At The Highest Level
Bafana Bafana star Percy Tau says they've shown people that they can play at the highest level after their win over Morocco.
Tau had an early influence on Saturday's win, after his cross was spilled by goalkeeper Mohamedi in the fifth of the encounter, with Bafana's famous win seeing them leapfrog Morocco into first place in Group K of the AFCON Qualifiers.
The Al Ahly man credited that national team's growth but admits there's still room for improvement in the side. Tau, who recently won the CAF Champions League with the Egyptian giants is happy to be fully fit and only wants to get better and to build on his recent showings.
Here's how the readers reacted to the "Tau: We Can Play At The Highest Level" story:
"Mr. Intelligent Percy Muzi Tau... Keep doing the good work and you deserve to play in best leagues in Europe," says silungilemyeki017.
"People must learn to support and appreciate sometimes. Like now, Broos is doing a great job, mixing unknown young players with so-called good players to build Bafana - but there are people who are waiting for him to lose one game and start to point fingers.
"..Thumbs up Broos, you made us proud. Imagine, when last did we qualify for AFCON? SAFA must keep you," says Cutter.
"Thanks Bafana bethu. Bafana played so good today. Morocco's team was in big trouble. They didn't expect to face a well oiled and resolute Bafana team. Well done Bafana," says raditselalouis.
"I'm not convinced," says Onside.
"Were they trying to win or to convince you?" claps back Slow_Poison.
