Brazil’s Marcelo leads by example. He plays with passion and determinat­ion. He deserves to be the captain. He will surely help his team to win the World Cup. Lejobi

The recent hat-trick by Christiano Ronaldo in Portugal’s draw against Spain in the World Cup just proves what kind of a hard worker he is, but I still believe Lionel Messi of Argentina is the greatest footballer in the world. Rudolf

Nigeria disappoint­ed African fans by giving Croatia an easy win. They’re the strongest African team on paper and should’ve done better. They must step up in the next game. Kalotsa

The promotion play-offs saga seems like it’s not over, but the vibe shown by Leopards supporters make them a worthy replacemen­t for both Platinum Stars and Ajax. John Sebakeng Argentina’s failure to beat lowly Iceland is a serious setback going forward and Messi’s missed penalty could yet come back to haunt them. Chief Makuwa

I would like to applaud Kaizer Chiefs for not signing players before appointing a coach. This for the first time is a step in the right direction. They must let the new coach sign players of his own choice. Shadung Thamaga

Hi I am urging the people of South Africa to show the love of football by supporting all African countries that are participat­ing Phakaaathi, in the 2018 World Cup in Russia, even though South Africa havn’t qualified to take part. Let us go there and show our love and support of football. France Pelego

Chiefs delaying appointing a new coach will result in the club not getting the right players for the coming season, which at the end of the campaign the coach will be blamed – not the management. Prosper

I think all African teams should make Iceland a case study. A country of not more than 330 000 people punching above their weight and holding the mighty Argentina to a draw, surely they must be doing something right. Monde Khumalo Zola

I am deeply disgusted by the pace at which my favourite club Kaizer Chiefs are doing things in terms of preparing for next season. Hopefully they come out with some good things.
