Mamelodi Sundowns co-coach Manqoba Mngqithi says the 5-0 drubbing of Bafana Bafana by France is not a true reflection of what SA is capable of.
Stars such as Kylian Mbappe, Olivier Giroud, Antoine Griezmann, N’Golo Kante and Paul Pogba showed how far behind SA is in top international football.
“I would not want to put a lot of reference to the match on Tuesday because I also don’t think that is a true reflection of what SA is capable of,” he said before his side's Caf Champions League game against Al-Merrikh of Sudan on Saturday at FNB Stadium.
“In SA, you make as many mistakes sometimes, you can give an opposition maybe three good chances and they still don’t score.
