South Africa players sang their way from the bus into the stadium. Nigeria players will sing from the stadium all the way to the bus. That’s how stars do. #NGARSA

No player suffered in this game like Bafana's Mkhize. First, Musa used him to wipe the grass, then Iwobi, then Moses Simon. His chi was alive and ensured he finished the game with just a yellow😀😀#NGARSA
