BAFANA Bafana's future in the 2026 Fifa World Cup relies on coach Hugo Broos uleashing Relebohile Mofokeng as the creative pillar against Czechia.

Bafana Bafana coach Hugo Broos once famously said, “I am not a fool, as only fools do not change their minds.”

After his 5-3-2 formation backfired spectacularly during Thursday's 2-0 defeat to Mexico at a buzzing Estadio Azteca, Broos should take his own advice: change the formation and adopt a more offensive approach.

While the critics questioning the Belgian’s tactics may not share his coaching qualifications or salary, there is a universal consensus that Bafana would be better served returning to a traditional 4-4-2 system.

This shift would deploy four defenders, four midfielders, and two strikers – a necessary adjustment for their upcoming Group A clash against Czechia in Atlanta. A win here would not only provide a much-needed morale boost but also edge the team closer to the knockout stages.
