Hugo Broos commented on South Africa's 1-0 defeat to Canada in their FIFA World Cup 2026 Round of 16 clash. Despite the loss, the 'Bafana Bafana' coach stated he hadn't lost his pride in the team.
“I am still as proud of the team as I was a few days ago. I believe we had a good World Cup, but against such a fast and strong team today, we had to catch up. We need to learn from this. That's why it was important for the team to play here.
For us, this is a challenge we must overcome – to regularly qualify for World Cups. I am confident that the team will grow stronger in the coming months because today we faced an opponent who was a step ahead. We played well and could have shown more,” Broos said.
