Makinwa Slams South Africa’s ‘Tactically Unsound’ Line-Up Ahead of South Korea Clash
Former Nigeria striker Henry Makinwa has criticised South Africa’s tactical approach at the 2026 World Cup ahead of their final group match against South Korea. He labelled their decision to use three centre-backs in the opening loss to Mexico at the Azteca Stadium as “tactically unsound.” Makinwa praised the switch back to a 4-3-3 system in their 1-1 draw with Czechia, saying the team showed more energy and determination to keep their slim qualification hopes alive. He warned that anything can still happen in this tournament and stressed the crucial nature of the upcoming fixture at Monterrey Stadium.
