Walai this 24 hours rule holds no water... I'm pretty sure SA knew fully... But did it anyways, because before it will be found it has exceeded 24 hours
.it better not be true 😒😏

I believe it is made up. I've never even heard of it before

From a South African media outfit

Hogwash!

Football Federations of countries are held liable for infractions like this as it is their responsibility to enforce the rules.

Algeria did not file a complaint within 24 hours and FIFA still punished us retroactively.

I do not see SA escaping the 3 points deductions

Yeah, and you can see that the SA media outfit conceded that there is a possibility of 3points deduction.

D cosafa story is coming out….is cosafa a recognised competition under fifa cos Dey re saying he had already served d suspension in d last cosafa cup

This only has to do with WCQ
He got both of them in a WCQ match
So he can't serve it elsewhere unless in the same WCQ series/match

Which nonsense cassava cup?

As far as I know sub-regional tournaments like COSAFA and WAFU cups are at best regarded as friendlies by FIFA.. even CHAN is regarded as a friendly so there's no way COSAFA cup will be counted as an official tournament

Morocco is leading their group
CIV is leading their group
Ghana is Leading their group
Algeria is Leading their group
Tunisia is leading their group
Egypt is leading their group

Cameroon (Capeverde,Angola is their head ache, with just 1point trailing capeverde cameroon will overturn it and qualify from this group)

Nigeria(South Africa, Benin is our head ache, you see this group, even if they don’t deduct any point from SA, 9ja will qualify from this group)

Senegal(DRC,Sudan is their only headache, with just 2points gap Senegal will overcome them and qualify)

though only 9ja group looks tough now

OGN is predicting the same lineup as we fielded against Rwanda. I feel Aina was shackled in his rôle though. Don't know why Éric isn't impressed with Bruno.
I hate seeing Aina on the left! How can Chelle be playing the best right back in the EPL as a left back.

Nooo. This is unacceptable

Starting Chukwueze as a CM again is weird and totally inexplicable.

Well, maybe he wants to put as much attackers on the pitch as possible in case we need to go all out attack mode.

To correct. The player in questioned already missed the Zimbabwe game so he served his suspension already. SA are just looking for lame excuses.

The rule of the game must prevail. Hopefully we win today. Then we pepper them with their mistake!!!

It is safer to start with same starting 11 as last game, bro.

Read a gosl.com report that says chukwueze can play midfield. I personally disagree anyway. This is the quotation.

"With the ability to use his right foot more than competently too, Chukwueze is able to operate on either wing – as well as through the middle in an attacking midfield role".

Guys lets go and finish off Zimbabwe , i love the way Beninoise kept mute all along this yellow card saga..its been dragging of different SA sport media and Nigeria…going round Benin sport Media they decided to be on a silent preparation….SA wont walk them anyhow im sure of that.
Genort Rohr win these guys and top the group or play draw against them, while Nigeria helps you to stop zimbabwe from catching up with you….This qualifiers like i have been saying since last year!!
WE
DIEEE
HEREEE🔥🔥🔥

Probably Chelle believes the team hasn't had enough time to interpret his ideas. From the last game I'm assured he makes good subs, so no wahala.

Ahead ahead
