'If it didn’t mean anything‚ then people would not have came out there in their numbers” BraMahlatse
The SA players‚ the technical team and the backroom staff were paraded like champions in an open top bus in the streets of Sandton in a move that alarmed Bafana's Brazil coach Carlos Alberto Parreira.
“The entire Sandton City was barricaded and there were people on rooftops waiting to see the boys. It was amazing to see so many people gathered to motivate the boys before they went to play the first game. "It gave us the opportunity to be closer to the people and experience their support first-hand. We interacted with the people we were going to represent.
"Going to the next round could have gone a long way and one take that as a low point. We really wanted to go through for the sake of our country that put up a lot of money to make sure that we hosted the tournament.
