Goalie unhappy with crowd support
SOUTH AFRICA 2010
JOHANNESBURG, South Africa (AP) – South Africa’s goalkeeper says he was disappointed the World Cup host nation didn’t get loud enough support from the home fans during the opening match against Mexico.
Itumeleng Khune says it felt more like a “Mexico home game” and that he hopes that South Africa supporters will be more vocal during the team’s next Group A match against Uruguay in Pretoria on Wednesday.
He said yesterday the “people who were making too much noise were the Mexicans” and that the team’s advantage “should have been the 12th
player, the supporters blowing vuvuzelas”.
Khune also says “everybody gave their best” in the match, which ended in a 1-1 draw, but the team “lacked concentration” toward the end.
