Bafana Bafana captain Ronwen Williams has made a sobering admission following South Africa's humiliating defeat to France. Full story ➡️
The South African men's national team was dealt a stark reminder of the work that remains to be done to improve after suffering a humiliating 5-0 defeat at the hands of reigning world champions France in Lille on Tuesday.
"It was a wonderful experience and we learned so much but, obviously, it was tough," Williams told the SAFA media team on Wednesday. "We don't have to look far. Since the coach has come in, we've played eight games against African opposition, won five, drew two and lost one. It shows that we are moving in a positive direction.
"Against our African opposition, who we will obviously face more often, I think we are comfortable and can compete against them."
