Speaking after the match, Williams admitted he was surprised by the volume of African football fans who appeared to back Mexico

“Africans have always supported other African countries in every World Cup tournament, but I can’t figure out why our own case is different,” Williams said. “Many Africans supported Mexico, not us, the South Africans. We almost shed tears, but it’s truly sad.”

"As Africans, let’s stand for each other, let’s stand together.”

Africans are so easy to control. All you have to do is divide them across racial and ethnic lines and control them using proxies while they fight each other.

The fact that no African nation supported you, should let you know that you're being evil against other African nation

What ever you bring as a defense mechanism is poorly scripted and unrelated.

Soon you will regret your push actions against other black nationals...

You might not realize this now, but soon..... Just wait until then.

Just a little taste from what you dish out
The mumu still dey expect an oracle to come tell him why that's the case...

Africa should not only ignore them but to actively chase them far like an adult with soiled pants.

Reject everything from them and isolate them.

Although, I won't be ever against not letting undocumented immigrants stay in any country but their brutish treatment and even killing my people, is unforgivable.

They are not going to score even 1 goal throughout the extent the can last at this tournament.
Re: South Africa Goalkeeper, Ronwen Williams Laments Lack Of African Support by SmartyPants(m): 8:20am On Jun 13
Ronwen looks like a nice guy, but did he really say he can't figure out why most Africans are not supporting them?? He can't be that clueless of events in his country.
Re: South Africa Goalkeeper, Ronwen Williams Laments Lack Of African Support by Godfullsam(m): 8:21am On Jun 13
You ain't seen nothing yet.

That was a little taste of what your people dishes to other fellow African nationals living in your country.

You planted bitter leaf and expects to harvest sugarcane.

The guy you quoted is right.

Illegal immigration is making things harder for legal immigrants and often times for citizens

It doesn't make xenophobia right. Simple and short

The only job done the xenophobics will get is going home to their xenophobic country. undecided

South Africa captain Ronwen Williams has expressed disappointment at what he described as a lack of support from fellow African nations following Bafana Bafana’s 2-0 defeat to co-hosts Mexico in their opening 2026 FIFA World Cup match on Thursday night, Saturday PUNCH reports.

The result leaves South Africa with work to do in Group A as they pursue a place in the knockout rounds.

Speaking after the match, Williams admitted he was surprised by the volume of African football fans who appeared to back Mexico rather than an African representative on the global stage, and called for greater unity among Africans during major tournaments.

“Africans have always supported other African countries in every World Cup tournament, but I can’t figure out why our own case is different,” Williams said. “Many Africans supported Mexico, not us, the South Africans. We almost shed tears, but it’s truly sad.”

"As Africans, let’s stand for each other, let’s stand together.”

While some supporters sympathised with the goalkeeper’s sentiments and agreed that African nations should rally behind one another at international competitions, others offered a contrasting view.

A number of social media users from countries including Nigeria, Ghana, Kenya and Zimbabwe argued that recurring reports of xenophobic attacks on African migrants in South Africa have weakened the sense of continental solidarity, with several referencing past incidents involving foreign nationals living in the country as having shaped how other Africans view South Africa.

Some openly stated that they had supported Mexico in the match, citing those tensions as a factor in their decision.

Unfortunately the other result didnt go in their favour

Now 2 starters wont be available for game 2

They will definitely be one of the early departures

You've not seen anything yet . No one owns the world and everyone is important one way or the another .

While I condemn illegal immigrants , the solution is not to kill your fellow Africans or loot their shop .

There are always alternative and better options .
What a brilliant comment!
