Percy Tau is the most selfish player in the Bafana Bafana squad. He should have been replaced early in the second half. Madillo Ramokhotho­ane

If it is true that Billiat is showing a poor attitude to his teammates then Kaizer needs to step in fast. We don’t need egotistica­l individual­s. M Ramokhotho­ane

Kaizer Chiefs followers never cease to amaze me. Last season, in a weekly football publicatio­n, they voted for Cardoso as the Player-of-the-Season against the deserving Tau, now they are turning against Cardoso, saying he is the weakest link in their defence. Seriously? Madida

Lunathi (Lulu) of the Ke Yona Team is such an exciting young player! Thank you Nedbank for affording these youngsters the chance to shine on the big stage. DJ

There is another Chippa Mpengesi in Tim Sukazi. Three games into the NFD season and the coach Vusi Mkhatshwa is out. Metiso

Considerin­g our infrastruc­ture, economic muscle and population, countries like Cape Verde, Libya, Mauritius and others should not be giving us sleepless nights. Is our football declining? JD

I think Bafana Bafana are still going to struggle in future because big teams rely heavily on foreigners. They even apply for naturalisa­tion. John Sebakeng Cheating and corruption is destroying African football. Our football is lagging behind because of cheating and corruption. Football associatio­ns should have a database of all players.

Bafana are back in the habit of making things difficult for themselves when they play qualificat­ion matches. Home teams should be taking advantage. Modiri Moroka

Black Leopards FC have the most amazing supporters. They are following in the footsteps of Bloemfonte­in Celtic supporters (of yesteryear). Lidodha Duvha, if you keep supporting that clu Rudolf

If the performanc­e against Libya is the best Bafana Bafana can give then I am sure we’ve failed once again. Everybody must come to the party, if we’re to qualify for the African showpiece. Gman

Mr Editor. I’m lost and need your help, why are Cameroon in the qualificat­ion group stages when they’ll be hosting the 2019 Afcon? Mduduzi Mhlongo (Ed: Interestin­g question. I believe it is just to give them match practice ahead of the tournament. They still qualify automatica­lly as hosts).

Orlando Pirates fans must stop booing their players, especially Thamsanqa Gabuza. He will make mistakes just like everyone. William Seloi

Kaizer Motaung is right to ask for patience from the club’s supporters and that they give full support to coach Giovanni Solinas. He knows better as he was once a prolific striker in his heyday. Sello Motloung How long will Pitso babysit Manqoba Mngqithi? It seems the latter is content to collect his pay cheque month end. It stunts his growth as a coach. Samuel Radebe

Dr Irvin Khoza showed leadership qualities in handling the Gabuza issue. How I wish he could have done the same with the Ntshumayel­o drug saga. Fanki

Mbulelo Mabizela should have learnt from Benni McCarthy and Lucas Radebe. He is now referred to as ‘Hobo John’. What a shame. Bafana Gatebe

We’ve said it before as Phakaaathi readers and we still maintain that if fairness could prevail there’s nothing that could act as a barrier for Luka Modric to finally win the Ballon d’Or award. Mduduzi Thumbs-up to the new look Phakaaathi and Phakaathi Plus, which includes South Africans abroad. Andrew

Clubs must stop being arrogant towards their players and must treat them with respect as they are also employed legally. The Fifa ruling that AmaZulu must compensate the offloaded Namibian player is most welcome. Modiri Moroka

I was really impressed with the new-look Phakaaathi, now I’m looking forward to Phakaaathi

Plus. You guys rock. Tshego

When Chelsea played Bournemout­h they did not have a single player from England, and English people are surprised why they failed to win the World Cup. Cashwell
