Stick around for Part 2! It gets even better! 🔥
SAFA is very disappointing, hence we need leadership, during the qualification we were deducted 3 points cause of negligence..
Bro speaks more than the guest, pushes a narrative as well
Sadly is that the officials are going to get rid of him because of this interview
I don’t think played liked Hugo Broos and majority of our South African fans
PITSO has always been better than Broos the European .
Broos didn’t do anything that hasn’t been done before in the history of the national team. All he did was divide the country and leveraged Sundowns’ success without adding anything more to it.
Pitso need to continue working with Grand and Mandela it's would him alot but knowing Pitso with pride I don't think he will
Imagine wearing the same thing for 4 days in the biggest footballing tournament
SAFA's problem is one(for over 10 years now): Danny Jordan
The host is talking too much; what’s the use of the guest on these platforms?
Get Pitso there, then we'll come right
Helman was the 2nd in charge, I would rather listen to him because he is privy to the real issues other than a "goalkeeper coach"
There Should Be Investigations Brought Forth.
One Could Tell Something Wasn't Ayoba Over There and I've Always Had Suspicious Blame Towards SAFA Struu 🤞Mafra.
"One tracksuit, shortpan + T-shirt for 3-4 days" at a World Cup would absolutely wreck morale, hygiene, performance. At that level players expect fresh kit daily.
Who would be responsible for kit/logistics?
1. SAFA Team Operations / Logistics Manager
2. SAFA Chief Financial Officer / Procurement
3. Kit Sponsor / Supplier
4. Team Manager
5. SAFA Executive / Technical Committee
Peter , I just love the straight talk, no beating about the bush, let's go for 200k subs👍👍👌👌👍👍
Nb
-Stop hiring foreign coaches
-Replace the board with ex players
-Invest in development and school football
-Play carpet football
And the new coach's name is Dr Pitso Mosimane, thank you
All SAn football supporters must Stand up now.. it's enough come on Guys.. Jordan must leave we need new board members ,New Banyana Coach ,Pitso for Bafana and we want to be the best competitor in any competition given .. We're tired of this rotten attitude in the SAFA office
Thank you Peter . I love this kind of content. Don’t change please
Danny Jordaan is the problem at SAFA and the structure is too politicized, rampant corruption.
The team manager of Bafana is mediocre. I'm terribly embarrassed hearing what coach Grant is saying.
We cannot have all these ppl still working at safa,not only Danny Jordaan must leave safa everyone except the Cleaners and the securities..these ppl have been dragging our football to the mud for years now.
Great interview 🙏🏽
Thanks Peter for bringing coach Johnson, great analysis, great episode 🙌⚽️
What's new? SAFA has always been an incompetent organisation, even the 2010 world cup there were issues that were unforgivable, imagine in the last month bafana had no base, shocking! The MAMPARA dance if you analyse it it is SAFA that must carry the bulk of the blame. Truth be told Hugo Broos achieved more than we expected, better than all the previous coaches. Just qualifying for the world cup it was a massive achievement. Granted his plan in the first world cup game did not work, it was unfortunate. As at now Broos is the most successful bafana coach by a huge margin.
Safa has been failing our football for years, they are busy with their positional politics, neglecting what brings money into that entity, SAFA is a SOE and must be held accountable.
Those will never happen under pitso, even if it was bennie he'll never allow that mediocre
Soccerbeat this is good, not the usual propaganda 😂 lemme sub
Grant Johnson down to earth man a servant of the beautiful game football.
