In 2013 during my rein as Bafana Bafana coach, I was privileged enough to face then World and European champions, Spain.
International matches even “friendlies” fall in a variety of categories. These categories range from training matches all the way up to Tier 1 International A matches, with each having different governing rules and implications. Having had the opportunity to watch Vincente Del Bosque’s men in the 2010 World Cup and again in their matches leading up to our game, we were under no illusions of what we were in for. This was a team preparing to go defend their title in the upcoming 2014 World Cup. Having lost only one official match since that 2010 triumph, they were certainly not looking to lose any of that momentum against SA.
We continued to frustrate the Spanish and after some quick interplay substitute Kamohelo Mokotjo picked up possession and laid off a perfectly weighted one time pass for Bernard Parker to run onto. However to my surprise, members of the Spanish national team, including players, walked over to my technical area to request that they be allowed to make a seventh substitute to bring on a goalkeeper.
soccer6za Im willing to be an errand boy, a gardener or any form of odd job just to feed my children🙏🏾. They've been going to school and back on an empty stomach and that cripples me as a father. I humbly ask for any tinned food or grocer you don't need🙏

Wasn't it a friendly game as usual?
They must teach their counterparts in Afcon qualifiers a lesson too. 😏
