DOWNS WIN SUPA8
Before I can start to critisize i would like to congradulate Sundowns for beating my Bucs 1-0, it was a good game of soccer.As of now i really dont know who is to blame at Pirates whether the coach or the players. On saturday even if the game played for another 90mins we were not going to score there was no urgency in our play, to Downs ga se ra fetsa the battle had just started. I am still not convinced by Mutombo, remember the coach is the one who select a starting 11 and he is the one who makes all the decisions either wise or stupid.

BOKS JUST TOO GOOD FOR CHAMPS
Well done to the Boks on theri perfomance on friday it was what i call a clinical perfomance, everything we could have hoped for. Beating the defending champions 36-0 is just too good.A good game from our scrum-half Du Prezz i doubted his selection ahead of Ricki but he proved me totally wrong. All the best to the Boks they are really on the right track to clinch the world cup provided they continue to play like they are at the moment. our next two games in our pool are against Tonga and USA which i think are walkovers so the real test will start in the quaterfinals.

T20 HEATING UP
The Proteas are giving us a good show at the T20 world cup. Two wins in two days against England and Bangladesh. But against England our batting left a lot to be desired thanks to a good knock by A.Morkel he just won the game for us, i guess that is the beauty of having a long batting list.Pollock also gave us a good start with the ball, no matter how you dismiss him as long as K.Pietersen is out we have every reason to celebrate(good play Shaun). I think the selectors must consider bringing in Tshabalala for variety in the bowling department because against teams like Aus we will struggle with our predictable bowlers.

FERRARI TAKE 1-2
Well done to my Ferrari boys for taking the 1-2 positions again. This season we are going to witness one of the best finishes to the season of F1.I think Hamilton is going to crack at the last minute because of inexprience and because i hate Alonso so much i am giving this one to Kimi.Well done to Ferrari again.

Nice weekend for South African sport.The boks and the proteas are giving us every reason to celebrate during these World Cups.I liked how our crickect side stayed calm under pressure and the winning habit will definately help when we meet teams like Australia,New Zealand and Sri Lanka.But hey all the best to the boys.U have made South Africa proud.

What I know about Rugby, I am not prepared to discuss in public!!!

I am enjoying the T20 to bits!!! Heee they even have penalties??? (the India-Pakistan game on Friday).

I thought we were gon lose the game against England. Pollock had a good game shem and what happened to Ntini’s bowling, hi economy rate was heartbreaking.

Madenza, what’s a free-throw? Never in my life had I heard of such a thing ‘til the T20.

jordan:are u talking about a free hit
            Its when a bowler bowls a no ball and the next ball becomes a free hit
            were the batsman can only be out with a run out only.

           Hope u know what a no ball is?

@Jordan- A free-hit is when the bowler bowls a no-ball,the next ball is a free hit
                   which means that the batsman can not be dismissed unless it is a
                   run-out. and the field may not be changed for that ball.

Eish Mzantsi Sport is rocking BigTym.....for Cricket the Proteas are on their role, I was so glad they bowled Flintoff out....the game was gonna be so risky..Hayi Sbu001 Maan....I'm sure Jordy knows what a No-ball is at least.

Congrats to Sundowns even though I'm not a fan but I have to give credit when its due. Big UPS.

Did not watch rugby otherwise I saw a bunch of crazy people on the streets after the Match and I knew that SA won....Big Ups Bokke!!!

MUTOMBO must pack. hayikona.

The best highlight of the weekend was Makhaya Ntini running out Kevin Pietersen. Good one Polly.

For the Boks good one. Some humble pie for our most deserved critics.

Does the floor crossing law apply to the PSL because I would be first to change camps. Pirates no man no

Pirates just had a bad spell on the day, yes Mutombo is a good coach he just took toooooo long to substitute, well I was there and enjoyed it and I am still a HUGE PIRATES FAN. "We win some, we lose some."

I am shedding crocodile tears for Mabuca buca tough luck you played well!
A landslide victory for the Boks, England were out of their depth our defense was top draw, impregnable, this world cup is ours for the taking!
Alan is another rat!!! We won that game by the skin of our teeth, Pollock the veteran lead the way up front and set a high norm and (not to contradict myself) we won comfortably at the end.

Once again Da Brazillians ke Diboza!!! Next time - we want real game with real players - coz Pirates is just for warming-up. We wanna sweat when we play and fight for what is ours, so on Saturday we didint fight for what is ours, instead we took what belongs to us!!!!!! Damn Pirates - i dont know whether you need practice or a sangoma to do what needs to be done. Shoo... im throwing a towel

Our football has gone to hell on a handbasket, take the amakhosi game for reference, we had ample number of chances but couldn't make any of them count and without a shadow of a doubt that was a clear penalty on Mathebula. Our game is generally good but we need to work on one aspect of it, all in all i cant complain, we haven't conceded a goal in open play in the league!
