"I blame Sundowns players for this," Mc U Be said.
"Bafana is nothing without Sundowns players," says Lucky Ncala.
"Beautiful football and winning are two different things, when last did Bafana win a major tournament with their beautiful football?" says Lolo Makgatho.
"It's Sundowns players that brought good playing style," says Bokang Kakapa.
"That's why the coach started 7 or 8 Sundowns players to form the core of his team. At Supersport Utd they didn't play that style. Fortunately, the whole country benefited, they reached a very decent stage,' says Chere Ntoampe.
"I am a Sundowns fan.....Mara Bafana Bafana represents south Africa not Sundowns," says Thapelo Thobejane.
"Pirates players are playing Gqom," says Ow Africa Ow.
