Problems mounting for Bafana Bafana boss BroosWhile a 2-1 defeat to a strong Morocco side, away in north Africa, is not a catastrophe, the nature of the loss suggests otherwiseAfter a promising start to his Bafana Bafana tenure, head coach Hugo Broos faces an uphill battle to keep the South African national team on track. Yes, Bafana scored first in Thursday’s Afcon qualifier, but it was against the run of play, and Lyle Foster's goal came from one of very few chances. Defensive worriesMamelodi Sundowns defender Rushine De Reuck is still fairly new to the international stage, yet his absence - through injury, has highlighted the lack of depth South Africa currently has at centre-back. Yet they find themselves in the middle of what are crucial qualifiers for South Africa after a recent series of failures over the past few years. It could also be argued though that perhaps there are just not enough genuine top class players at Broos' disposal.
