Two defensive errors and some bad luck paralysed us and broke the spirit but the fundamentals remain good. This team can pass the ball and retain possesion although they failed to press the Tunisians like they did with the Angolans. Just some consistency is asked. But the squad i believe still has the potential to be successful. I dont believe CAP mad good substitutions as Modise and Zuma should have been subbed as they were ineffective in this game early on. The biggest single change to the team would be to leave Mokoena out as he puts the team under too much pressure with poor passing. Morris made a bad mistake but generally he is more reliable than Mokoena and needs a more solid defensive partner than Mokoena or Mhlongo. Bringing in Lance Davids for Mokoena in midfield will see the ball going forward instaed of sideways or backwards the way Mokoena passes it. PLEASE DONT CHANGE THE WAY WE ARE PLAYING NOW ...ITS NOT ALL BAD. I just hope CAP has the courage to drop Mokoena. South Africa vs. Tunisia:
