Only the French would have a bald man, under 6 feet tall as their goalkeeper. Barthez doesn't look like a footballer, let alone a keeper. And he's also a chainsmoker, but one of the best keepers in history
Come on we played against France the previous year (1997) . We even drew 1-1 with them . The biggest mistake we made was not selecting Neil Tovey ,who was captain since day one when we were readmitted to FIFA .
They should have fielded the usual team, we received the whooping. This was the turning point in south African football coz we were never the same after the world cup

🇫🇷 empezó a lo grande su mundial
Frankreich 1998! Selten einen verdienteren Weltmeister gesehen! 👍🙂
it was our maiden World Cup, we were nervous
"Nervous" in your first world cup, SH*T in all the rest!
I think you played well in all 3 of your World Cups and were unlucky not to advance from the group.

@@Hunkzilla A friendly game and your first World Cup game are two different things. The pressure is not the same
@@theantichristZD thank you
Im amazed South africa went into this tournament with no proper defensive midfielder.

But the game was 4-0...
It didn't count offside before djokaef scored the second goal, his other first goal was offside
