I am begging for Safa/Fifa’s interventi­on. Itu Khune started it, Chipedzedz­e mastered it and now Akpeyi adopted it. Time-wasting tactics are killing our beautiful game. The sooner Safa/Fifa intervene, the better. It’s like racism in Europe. Where is fair play here? Zoe

Kaizer Chiefs had to sweat for their victory against Magic FC. It seems they did not learn at all from being vanquished by smaller clubs in the past. Mathabiso

Billiat only scores goals if Zuma is playing. I don’t understand why the coach doesn’t see it that way. Sedric

Mamelodi Sundowns are making good progress in the Caf Champions League. Pitso and his boys, they know how to conquer Africa. I wish them all the best for their remaining games. Mama Bontle

I am not happy with the way referees handle the games. Khama Billiat is always faking the penalties and they don’t see his tricks. If Chiefs fail to score they had to give them a penalty. The game must be fair. Don’t kill the morale of football. Mama B

The Nedbank Cup offers a broader perspectiv­e of the closing of the gap in talent and performanc­es between the leagues. This is evident by clubs like Magic FC nearly shocking Chiefs and TS Galaxy reaching the quarterfin­als by seeing off Cosmos 1-0. Modiri Moroka Christophe­r Katongo is right in saying the reason Cosmos don’t stay long in the Absa Primiershi­p is because of Matsilele’s business approach to football Mamolifi

CR7 is a football legend. 1st in Portugal, 2nd in England, 3rd in Spain, 4th in all of Europe in the Champions League for the past 5yrs and now 5th in Italy. Sedric

At the moment Pirates are a bit inconsiste­nt, due to tired legs and fatigue. Pirates must perform more profession­ally, as they always show character. Frank Pienaar

If the football match of Esperance v Orlando Pirates (Caf Champions League) were a chess match, it would be certainly Pirates’ move! A litmus test for Micho’s Bucs. Billy Dali Kaizer Chiefs have never been disrespect­ed like they were at the weekend. Barcelona felt the same way last year when money forced them to practice with a small team from Chloorkop. Sedric

The Magic FC made Kaizer Chiefs run for the prize by holding them until extra time. Thanks to David Kannemeyer and his boys for their hard work. Papa Bontle

We gave Magic FC 90 minutes of game time and extra time of a goal scoring lesson, hence we are through to the next round of the Nedbank Cup. Patrick Pat

Happy Mashiane has got a bright future. His talent is so unbelievab­le. His passing and skill makes him so special. Irvin Kaizer Chiefs won’t make it past Cape Town City if they play like they did against Magic FC. I am crying already. Gift

The sooner Milutin Sredojevic realises that Alfred Ndengane is the weakest link in the Bucs rearguard and replaces him, the better and Pirates will stay long in the Champions League Abel

After being humiliated by current CAF Champions League holders Esperance, Pirates shouldn’t drop their heads, there are still a plenty of chance to get to the next round. Abel Serahi

Bogus coaches with fake football academies who molest aspiring young boys who want to be top football stars must be given harsh jail sentences when convicted. BR Once you let Sundowns occupy top spot, it will be difficult for other teams to catch up. Downs have been there and know how to win the league. Stanley Mokgatla

Khama Billiat has shown why he’s still brilliant. The introducti­on of him in the second half made the difference for Amakhosi and he ended up forcing the Magic FC defenders to make errors. Matidi

Jomo Cosmos are regarded as the yo-yo team because Jomo Sono puts his business interests ahead of football. This will make it hard to get back to the PSL. Bafana

Coach Owen da Gama should be praised for transformi­ng Highlands Park into the competitiv­e football powerhouse they are. Samzo
