Cup success: What they say...

Edward ‘Magents’ Motale Orlando Pirates legend I went to bed in the early hours of the morning... around 2am or so. I just couldn’t sleep. My friends and I were just too overjoyed. (Sundowns) have made the country proud. This will push other teams locally to take this competition very seriously. I remember when we won it; Kaizer Motaung senior came to the airport wearing an Orlando Pirates T-shirt just to welcome us. And that was a huge thing for me. Seeing him in that T-shirt said to me, there’s no room for jealousy or envy when your biggest domestic rival does well at continental level. It’s all about national pride. Such rivalry is unnecessary, really. Matthew Booth Former Sundowns player WE’VE been despondent because of Bafana Bafana’s poor performance on the continent and so Sundowns’ victory in the CAF Champions League final is worth shouting about. They truly deserve it. They took it very seriously. They wanted it more and I believe that’s what worked for them. Kudos to them for bringing the star home. Geoff Toyana Highveld Lions coach “WE were travelling back from a match in Kimberley on Sunday night, so I didn’t get to watch the game; it was so nerve-wracking having to follow it on Twitter all the way. I’m just very happy for everyone at the club. And for Pitso Mosimane and his coaching staff... big, big congratulations. We’ve had Pirates win it a long time ago, so it’s about time that the trophy comes back to the country.”
