While you would expect Mamelodi Sundowns to be disappointed after being knocked out of the FIFA Club World Cup, the players have a different view. The Tshwane side failed to make it past the group stage after being held to a goalless draw by Brazilian side Fluminense at the Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens on Wednesday evening. Sundowns had the lion’s share of ball possession. When they had their chances, especially in the first half, they fluffed those opportunities,…

My heartfelt condolences to Natasha and the Tsichlas Family,” Motsepe…

In defeat, Mamelodi Sundowns players can still hold their heads high. This is the view of Borussia Dortmund midfielder Jobe Bellingham, whose side beat Sundowns 4-3 in their FIFA Club World Cup encounter in Cincinnati on Saturday. While it is indeed true that praising a defeated team does not change the scoreline in their favour, Bellingham reckons Sundowns can use this as motivation for the future. “It was a tough game and an important win against a really good opposition.…

“So, yeah, it was just one of those unfortunate situations. But we learn from it, and we keep going.” With the above words, Mamelodi Sundowns goalkeeper Ronwen Williams has looked past his horrendous error against Borussia Dortmund on Saturday. Sundowns lost 3-4 to the Germans in a FIFA Club World Cup match played in Cincinnati, United States (US).

Mamelodi Sundowns are off to a good start at the FIFA Club World Cup in the United States (US).

Miguel Cardoso is not in the good books of Mamelodi Sundowns supporters at the moment, and all eyes will be on him during the FIFA Club World Cup. The Portuguese’s troubles started when he failed to guide Sundowns against Egyptian side, Pyramids, who beat them in the CAF Champions League final. Depending on how Sundowns perform in the United States (US), his future at Chloorkop may not be guaranteed. The Tshwane team will be up against Ulsan from South Korea…
