The Brilliance Of Doctor Khumalo Against The Seleção 

This team was the best

They were good but lost 4 to against a zimbabwe team with real players like Peter Ndlovu kkk

Speedygarth When they came back to international football post apartheid they were being beaten by big margins but the 1996 era to the World Cup 1998 and the 2000s era of Benni McCarthy we were a force my friend. It was not easy to beat us.

This team played with it heart and for the nation

@@speedygarth in our defense that Zim team was unstoppable

Best comment in this thread, factual and straight to the point! No need to add anything. 👏👏👏

Every household in the community would be glued on the screen, taking in every moment of the game. Today I don't even know half of the team - mediocrity.

Facts!!!!!!

brother i m from india...i am really astonished to see how SA used to play as brazil's jogo bonito..this type of play deserves world cup semis spot..but how SA didn't become famous and they seem to hv lost this footballing style...how just HOW?!

Yeah that was wrong. I’m from Colombia but my best friend is from RSA so I knew all the players. We would watch the game so miserable that our favourite player wasn’t playing...

Sad reality of football

When politicians administer football that's always the case. Our national has never recovered from that.

Movie wa 16v The best

Underrated comment! Just like Xavi, Iniesta, Pirlo, Messi etc.

Those days will come again

@@___Runnaz3768 If we fix safa

@@musandlala7991 That's right, mate. Safa is broken, and has been for ages. There's no reason a country with the talent pool and financing of South Africa, as well as the passion of the people, should have such a rubbish national team. We should look at Senegal, which is a much poorer nation with a much smaller population, yet their national team is globally competitive, they have stars and quality players in leagues across Europe. What's the difference? Less corruption in the national federation, I'd wager, but also enabling players to play their brand of football from a young age, and I mean YOUNG. In SA, we're still calling players "up-and-coming" when they're 24, 25, 26 years old. Anywhere else in the world, at that age, you're a mid-career player. Senegalese players come up through academies in Senegal from a young age, and they start getting picked up by European scouts when they're 15, 16, 17 years old. That's when SA's talented young players need to start getting noticed and moved on to bigger opportunities. But the difference is that Senegal has a number of quality academies with a lot of input from the talent developers in Europe. You don't necessarily need to so much European input, but you do need a lot of investment in youth football and academies. And we also need to really invest in our own brand of football on the pitch, like Bafana in the '90s. But that's a rant for another time, and this comment is already so long no one is going to read it, so I'll shut up.

@@bcmhayes Don't shut up, I read it all. Personally I think if the parents took interest in their children's lives, this situation would all solve itself. You know if the parents took an active part in raising their children by not allowing the children to sit and do nothing (or worse) on Saturday. Maybe a have a weekend league for the children in high school and primary. We would have more talent seen at a younger age and leave to be developed in Europe. You look at the Germany 2014 team, the majority of their players come from school football. As for SAFA they are useless.

@@bcmhayes worry not some of us read it, it's one of the best comments in this thread. 👏👏👏

They're not hard to find, coaches keep on looking to sign players from zim and stuff. Our talents are there eKasi

Hahahaaaaaaaaa! Jokes....

💯! Exactly the same thing I said when I saw Zidane for the first time, playing for Juventus wearing jersey number 21. He had the exact same style of play as Doc. Not sure if “Mr Jokes” knew Zidane back then. Otherwise you spot on KingLionel.👌

Agreed

Yes!👍👍👍

Zidane was better than Doctor but not by a lot.

I don't know the name of this song can you help please ka go gopela

He was deceptive in that he appeared to be slow until you tried to dispossess him then you see flames. I cannot recall one incident in this particular where he was dispossessed, perhaps a pass was intercepted but never dispossessed. Once you attain that level of respect from opponents where they "let you have the ball" to prevent embarrassment is when you realise that you have arrived as a soccer player. A highly skillful player with great vision. He played the game like he was watching it from the stands. Unbelievable.

Soccer is still real .different is that it has developed

@@nzuzolifangwenya1044 without showboating S.A. soccer died We won Afcon 1996 with showboating

@@mybubathegenius8524 ..we won it because we had good players who were willing to fight for each another and make the country proud.. showboating was just a bonus on the side..

@@nzuzolifangwenya1044 fair enough THANKS MAN

No high salary but great football

Definitely. When I look at him i reference Mike Tyson's life as well. They are both cancers. Tyson went to jail and h was never the same again. Khumalo's father passed away in a tragic hijacking and he was driving Doctor's car. Doc was never the same again. I think that affected him psychologically. He was very close to his father.

True... Well said...👏 Poor mentality we have.

Ronaldo was not in that game. Bebeto was

Romario, Bebeto, zhino, aldair, cafu, dunga, denilson,zerobeto, dida, edmilson etc. Ronaldo wasn't there

That was a great Brazil team and they took every game seriously. They toured the world that period and never lost a game. We did well to lose that narrowly.

Actually David Nyathi wasn't a regular. That left back position was played by Lucas Radebe, Mark Fish and Tovey were at centre backs. Nyathi became a regular from 98 when Tovey was no longer there and Radebe moved to centre back.

Helman Mkhelele madoda 😭😭😭

Horrible subs!!!

Clive should've went with his best team all the way. He became over excited and made some mistakes.

I remember after he got substituted then Brazil came back

@@leomamofokeng5104 even Bebeto clapped his hands when Doctor went off the field and the rest is history, from leading 2 to losing by a goal and the worst substitutions ever

I see the late sizwe motaung
