South Africa's national team coach Hugo Broos has dropped Sipho Chaine, a top goalkeeper, from the national team. This decision has sparked criticism, but former PSL star Tshepo Motsoeneng defends Broos.
What happened?
Broos didn't select Chaine for the national team, despite being one of the top goalkeepers in the Premier Soccer League.
Why it matters for South Africa
Motsoeneng says Broos is brave for making this decision, as it shows he's not afraid to make tough choices. Chaine has been Ronwen Williams' assistant in the national team setup, but this time he was dropped.
What comes next?
Former Bafana goalkeeper Jackson Mabokgwane believes Chaine should focus on his club duties and not worry about being left out of the national team. | Player | Team | | Sipho Chaine | Orlando Pirates | | Ronwen Williams | | | Renaldo Leaner | Sekhukhune |
Broos' decision to drop Chaine has raised eyebrows, but he's trying to open South Africa's eyes to a bigger pool of goalkeepers. Kaizer Chiefs' Brandon Petersen has also been impressive, hoping to be considered for the World Cup.
