In recent weeks, Broos has been the subject of rumours stating he's leaving the National team to take up a job with Club Brugge in his home country, Belgium. SAFA and Broos have denied these rumours, however, Mzansi is worried given how much he has done for Bafana.

All teams go through their dominant eras, however, locally and internationally, Kaizer Chiefs and Manchester United have had the hardest falls from grace, having both been dominant forces for decades, only to now be classified as mid-table teams. Supporters are the lifeblood of clubs, but many seem to walk away when their teams are underperforming. Surely when your team is in a rut, support means more to them? Supporters need to stand by their cubs and support them through thick and thin!

'Liverpudlians' will be quaking at the knees after this announcement, especially when you think of how far Klopp has taken the team. 3 UEFA Champions League Finals, multiple trophies, and a huge improvement, it is no question that Klopp will leave to tumultuous applause.

Marcus Rashford has hit the headlines again after some questionable 'off-field' behavior.

What's the story?

Shauwn Mkhize is currently enjoying an idyllic winter's getaway, escaping the drama and stress behind her at Royal AM regarding their dispute with Samir Nurkovic.

MaMkhize has given her followers a glimpse into her "wonderland" family holiday, including a professional shoot on a pile of snow.

Thwihli Thwahla's boss lady has flooded her social media pages with content from her winter getaway in what appears to be Lesotho.

MaMkhize went from chasing summers with holidays to the Maldives, Dubai and even Sun City to chasing the snow for a winter holiday with friends and family.

MaMkhize posted pics and a video of her trip to a snowy location that resembles the Afriski Mountain Resort and likened her holiday to a "winter wonderland."

She braved the gruesome conditions and had a full-on styled shoot on a pile of snow, which was photoshopped with a backdrop of ice-tipped mountains.

The Royal AM head honcho also wore a white ski suit with a massive coat. She also dripped out in a white fur, showcasing her skiing gear.

Back at the ranch, it's not all rosy for MaMkhize's club as they're set to face a transfer ban from FIFA after failing to compensate their former player Samir Nurkovic for terminating his contract.

The Durban-based outfit missed the deadline to pay Nurkovic's compensation of R12 million and are now in danger of not being able to sign players in the current transfer window and most likely beyond. ]]> Sports Thu, 13 Jul 2023 12:46:00 +0200 0 0 MaMkhize Chases The Snow In Lesotho Amid Royal AM Transfer Ban 0 0 Soccer Laduma Podcast full 0:59 Soccer Laduma Audio Clips https://iono.fm/e/1331126 https://iono.fm/e/1331126
The 29-year-old’s future in London appears more and more uncertain by the day amid his apparent unwillingness to sign a new contract at the Lilywhites.

Kane, England’s all-time record goalscorer with 58 international strikes, will see his current deal at Spurs expire at the end of the 2023/24 campaign.

Chairman Daniel Levy is said to be not interested in selling the club’s star man despite the looming risk of losing him on a free transfer in 2024.

Kane had previously been linked with Real Madrid and Manchester United in this window, but Sport1 claims the striker has his heart set on joining Bayern Munich for the coming season and that other interested parties have been informed of that.

The Bundesliga champions were believed to submit a second bid for the player’s services on the weekend after having their first approach rejected, though it still appears unknown as to whether the proposal is enough to tempt Levy.

It is claimed that Kane could very well communicate his desire to leave Spurs when he returns to training at the club this week, with new manager Ange Postecoglou recently addressing the issue.

The Australian tactician has said he has no doubt that Kane wants the London side to be successful and that he will discuss the situation with the player when they meet ahead of pre-season. ]]> Sports Thu, 13 Jul 2023 12:42:00 +0200 0 0 Harry Kane Only Wants To Join 'One Team' 0 0 Soccer Laduma Podcast full 0:59 Soccer Laduma Audio Clips https://iono.fm/e/1330153 https://iono.fm/e/1330153

Ngezane was able to control the defence, not only playing in the full-back position, but when duty called, he slotted perfectly into a center-back role, which make him an indispensable player. Being able to shift mindsets into these positions, is no easy task, which is why a European club came calling.

Former Kaizer Chiefs striker, Samir Nurkovic has been in a legal battle with Pal club, Royal AM over a contractual dispute, which saw the club owned by Shawn Mkhize terminate the Serbians contract early, to the tumultuous groans of the PSL. Nurkovic signed a two-year deal, not long after being released by the Glamour Boys, but he never featured in any competitive matches. Nurkovic’s contract was terminated 2 months into this binding agreement, without any form of compensation. The club argued he was released due to a lengthy period of ‘sick leave.’ The Serb took this discrepancy forward to the PSL, where, in his favour, it was announced that Royal Am has to payout the contract, a fee which comes close to R12 million, or ‘Mkhize’s men’ will face a ban imposed by FIFA.

On the latest episode of the Fan Reaction Show, Mzansi praises former Kaizer Chiefs defender Siyabonga Ngezane for making a move to Europe, where he has signed for Romanian Ligue 1 club, Fotbol Club FCSB.

In what is perhaps the biggest signing of the transfer window so far, and perhaps the most anticipated; is Jude Bellingham leaving Borrusia Dortmund for Real Madrid. The 19 year has put pen to paper with ‘Los Blancos’ which will see him earn around €10 million per year. Dortmund sold the 2022/23 Bundesliga player of the season for a staggering €103 million, but this could increase to €134 million with the agreed terms for the add-ons. One can argue that these numbers are getting out of control, but unfortunately, it is what it is and this is what the market is demanding. This transfer does prove one thing; Dortmund are experts in nurturing young talent into world-class stars - with the likes of Erling Haaland too.

Karim Benzema has put pen to paper and signed with current Saudi ProLeague Champions, Al Ittihad. The Frenchman announced his exit from Real Madrid before los blanks took the pitch on the final match day of the 2022/23 La Liga season. After 14 years with the Spanish giants, Benzema has his sights on a new challenge. Benzema of course will now be a direct rival of former teammate, Cristiano Ronaldo. The Saudi Pro League is doing everything it can to prove to the world that it can host the 2030 FIFA World Cup, and by pouring millions of Euros into improving their league, infrastructure, and the quality of the game, they just might have a point.

In the biggest match of the season, Manchester City is 90 minutes away from becoming only the second British football team to claim ‘’treble rights.’ The citizens face off against an extremely tough opponent in Inter Milan on Saturday 10 June, in the UEFA Champions League Final.

Bayern Munich has had, what some might say, a season to forget. When looking at how Bayern normally performs, a single trophy is almost a failure. Bayern claimed the 2022/23 Bundesliga title on the very last match day of the season, having been in a raucous race with Fierce Rivals, Borrusia Dortmund. Thomas Tuchel and his side were quickly knocked out of all cup competitions but this allowed them to focus on winning the league, which they almost let slip. Tuchel has remained in charge as head coach, but there has been some shuffling up top. The board of directors claimed they had no choice but to fire CEO Oliver Kahn and sporting director Hasan Salihamidzic and as it stands, Tuchel will be given some more time to get things right. In terms of shuffling around, some players could be set to leave, with Sadio Mane’ the main player in question

On the latest episode of the Bundesliga Connection, DW Sports correspondent Kres Harrington breaks down RB Leipzig's second consecutive DFB-Pokal (German Cup) viceroy thanks to a heroic performance by Chelsea FC target, Christopher Nkunku.

Harry Kane has not been the talk of the town this season, considering Erling Haaland has stolen the headline and has broken just about every record. Kane has been a silent assassin, scoring 30 premier league goals, in a poor Tottenham side. At the start of the season, Erling Haaland was scoring a hattrick for what seemed like every week, but Kane was grabbing goals and has proven himself to be a world-class striker. Given the current state of affairs of Tottenham, Kane looks to be on his way out sooner rather than later, as he is desperate to win Silverware. Manchester United is the favourite to sign the 30-year-old, but will Tottenham be open to dealing with a rival?

For what has seemingly been dragging on for months, Lionel Messi's camp is growing frustrated and impatience with the potential return to Barcelona. It is no secret that Messi and Barcelona are both interested in being reunited, however, La Liga's Financial Fair Play Rules require the Catalan giants to make some changes before bringing Messi 'home.'

Manchester United has had a remarkable season, considering where the Red Devils have been in the last decade. Erik ten Hag has revolutionised the club and has somewhat brought the team back to the days when Sir Alex Ferguson was in charge. United have officially claimed a spot in the 2023/24 UEFA Champions League after securing victory against Chelsea FC; the Red Devils needed only a single point, but after putting 4 goals past Chelsea’s goalie, Kepa Arrizabalaga, they claimed maximum points. Erik ten Hag has also shockingly been left out of the 6-man shortlist for manager of the season, which means fans have expressed their utmost frustration.

Marumo Gallants have been more than impressive in the 2022/23 CAF Confederations Cup. They have taken points from some of Africa’s biggest clubs, in their hunt for Silverware. Gallants showed true honour and valour throughout the tournament and were ultimately knocked out by Tanzanian outfit Young Africans. Losing 4-1 on aggregate, Bahlabane Ba Ntwa can pat themselves on the back for what they have achieved. Contrary to this, Gallants have officially been relegated from South Africa’s top-flight league, the Dstv premiership. Gallants have been far less impressive on the local stage. Accumulating 29 points from 30 games, less than a point a match. Gallants have suffered in the PSL and will soon be plying their trade in the lower division.

As it stands, Thomas Tuchel currently had the work of pressure on his shoulders, considering he has played a role in Bayern’s exits from the UEFA Champions League, DFB Pokal (German Cup), and potentially, the Bundesliga itself. Tuchel inherited a troubled locker room, which current Bayern Munich defender Matthijs De Ligt has called ‘a graveyard.’ De Ligt describes the locker room, comparing it to the Titanic hitting the iceberg. This surely shows where the issues are originating from.

At the same time, Borussia Dortmund are on the verge of claiming their first title in over a decade and they can do this, by claiming maximum points when they welcome Mainz to Signal Iduna Park on Saturday 27 May. Dortmund has had a phenomenal season, albeit overrun with silly errors and common mistakes. The team from North Rhine-Westphalia will be salivating to grasp the title, but the pressure is mounting as the title is theirs to lose.

The frustration that Khosi Nation is going through is justified and understandable, but the actions are not. Chiefs are trophy-less in 8 years, and they are going to finish yet another season without any silverware since their departure from the Nedbank, at the hands of their noisy neighbours Orlando Pirates. Many fans are suggesting the ‘hooligans’ at fault, need to be prosecuted for their actions.

During this past week, Kaizer Chiefs management have been quoted saying that they will review Wane’s performance come season end, to see if the technical team needs a beef up. Many fans have agreed with this ideology and suggest that Zwane should be demoted to assistant coach, or even a youth coach to gain the invaluable experience needed to coach a team, with a history as big as Chiefs. Mzansi is hoping for a well-versed coach to take the reigns off of Wane’s hands, hoping trophies are going to be around the corner.

What occurred at the Royal Bafokeng Sports Palace has since brought on a scare for the club, recently announcing stricter safety protocols for Chiefs match against Cape Town City on Saturday 20 May. Stadium Management hanging director has said that the South Africa Police Service (SAPS) will be on duty in full force come Saturday, as well as security, to be ready for whatever these hooligans are potentially planning.

South Africa is home to one of the most magnificent stadiums on the continent, Soccer City. Also known as the FND stadium, many are concerned about the attendance that this stadium sees. With a capacity of over 94 000 (ninety-four thousand), we rarely see a sold-out stadium, unless the Soweto Derby is being played, or if Mamelodi Sundowns are in town to face off against Chiefs or Pirates. One fan thinks it’s because of the size, and when you are the number of tickets sold and place those fans in a smaller stadium, the turnout is actually really good.

When Royal AM traveled to Soweto to face Orlando Pirates, die-hard soccer Fan Mam Joy was denied entry into the match with many suggesting it was because she changed allegiance. Mama Joy was a Pirates fan through and through, but recently made the switch to Royal AM. Videos surfacing on social media suggest her right of entry, with the ticket she purchased, was denied in a calm matter. But the fact remains. Mama Joy eventually goes into the stadium, 57 minutes after kickoff. One cannot forget that this has happened before. It started with Bafana Bafana coach Hugo Broos, then TS Galaxy Chairman Tim Sukazi, and now Mama Joy. Is it time that the PSL and SAFA step in to intervene to stop this barbaric behaviour?

Haaland has already accumulated over 50 goals in the 2022/23 season (in all competitions) and with a potential 9 games for the Citizens remaining, he could very well net a handful more. Manchester City has a few tough fixtures coming up; two UEFA Champions League (UCL) semi-finals against Real Madrid and the FA Cup Final against local rivals Manchester City.

Rumour has it, is that Lionel Messi has provisionally reinstated his kids in a school in Barcelona, amidst a possible return back to the Catalan giants.

La Liga president Javier Tebas has explained that should Barcelona manage to sort out its financial situation and 'fix the books,' Messi's return will be possible. The issue Barce faces is that they would have to get rid of young, generational talent to 'make way' for a 35-year-old player.

The Bavarian giants welcomed Borrusia Dortmund to the Allianz Arena in what is known as 'De Klassiker.' Bayern recently sacked Julian Nagelsmann and employed former Dortmund coach, Thomas Tuchel. Tuchel was looking to hit the ground running and he did just that. A convincing 4-2 victory over his former club but Dortmund do have themselves to blame. The first goal from Bayern came as a gift when Dortmund goalie Gregor Kobel swiped and missed the ball, allowing it to roll into the back of the net. Questions were asked about Gregor’s selection, as the Swiss International recently returned from injury and then was put straight back into the first team. This error shifted the tide and Bayern Went on to dominate.

As mentioned, this was Thomas Tuchel’s first game in charge for Bayern which is slowly becoming a daunting task. Tuchel inherited a divided locker room which is never a good thing for a coach. Bayern left back, Ben Pavard, dedicated this victory to Julian Nagelsmann which just goes to show the animosity among the players. Tuchel has an incredibly difficult job at hand and considering how ruthless Bayern Munich can be towards coaches, he needs to keep on his toes.

Bayern Munich will slowly start to feel the pressure with all of the matches coming their way. The Bundesliga record holders are facing Freiburg in the German Cup and Manchester City in the UEFA Champion league, at what point will the fatigue come into play?

Averaging 2.31 points per match, it is no wonder why his departure came as a surprise. According to reports, the 35-year-old 'lost the locker room', which could be because of one of two reasons for his departure. The first reason is rumoured to be due to his tactical analysis being leaked, which reportedly caused a drop in morale in the dressing room. The other reason stems from Nagelsmann’s personal life. He has allegedly left his wife and is now dating a journalist. Both reasons will cause more than enough damage in the locker room.

Bayern have already hired former Dortmund manager Thomas Tuchel as his replacement after the German parted ways with Chelsea early into this season. The former Paris Saint-Germain, BVB, and Blues coach has a known track record of butting heads with senior management, but, as the old saying goes, class is permanent, which is why the Bundesliga champions have moved swiftly in appointing the 49-year-old, whose first match in charge will be against his former side this coming weekend.

When asked about the competitiveness this season, DW Sports correspondent and German football expert Kres Harrington explains that Dortmund’s win was a hard-fought victory as Werder Bremen has been known to cause a few upsets. Dortmund scored 2 late goals, which was a fantastic turn of events, as they tend to concede late this season. Dortmund have a good young team and to see them get a victory on the road, as they are typically stronger at home, will most likely prove to be a much-needed moral boost - now they are within striking distance of the title.

When you look at the standings, the league is slowly becoming a three-horse race with fourth-placed Freiburg and fifth-placed RB Leipzig looking strong too. Anything can change considering the European pitch is back. More games will shake the standings up a bit with only the best, and strongest teams maintaining their quality.

On the latest episode of the Bundesliga Connection, DW Sports correspondent and German football expert Kres Harrington breaks down the title race within the league and explains that “we are looking at a 3 horse race at the moment.” Bayern is in the driving seat with Union Berlin and Dortmund following closely. With only 3 points the difference between first and third place, the last handful of matches are of vital importance for these teams. ]]> Soccer Wed, 15 Feb 2023 13:34:00 +0200 0 0 “We Are Looking At A 3 Horse Race” 0 0 Kres Harrington full 5:55 The Bundesliga Connection https://iono.fm/e/1278238 https://iono.fm/e/1278238
