But he has proven that he can take the team to the semi-finals of Afcon, so it shows that we have a good team,” Mosimane told“But the good team is not only the coach, it’s the players. We have players like Teboho Mokoena who play in the Champions League, they have the experience also, so Sundowns’ players have really contributed to the national team.

So, they have experience, that’s why I say it’s not only the coach, it’s the players also, you know, and they want to win it and they’ve shown in the Cup of Nations by being in the semifinals that you are a force to be reckoned with,” Pitso on Bafana’s World Cup chances.
