Aboutrika Slams Broos’ ‘Fearful’ Tactics After South Africa’s Loss to Mexico

Egypt legend Mohamed Aboutrika has criticised South Africa coach Hugo Broos after his side fell 2-0 to Mexico in their World Cup Group A opener at the Estadio Azteca. Aboutrika argued that Broos set up his team too defensively from the start, saying he could tell the coach was scared and that the chosen lineup was far from the best. The match saw three red cards—two for South Africa and one for Mexico—and leaves Bafana Bafana needing positive results against Czech Republic and South Korea to keep their knockout hopes alive. In the other group fixture, South Korea edged past Czech Republic 2-1 to top the standings.
