“So why do African teams struggle in World Cups? an African team will never win a World Cup, no chance….you can say Morocco last year in the semi-finals but (the reason African teams struggle) is the way they play without the ball against better teams, ” said Hunt.
The 59-year-old also said the local teams needed to have physical players as well as top defenders and midfielders.
“Well people say Gavin Hunt doesn’t like small players, and then they say ‘look, Messi is small’ but Messi is strong my friend, and quick. If you are small, you need to be fast. We need a bit of size, we need a bit of power and strength. The game is about power now and that Bafana team had all these attributes,” Hunt said.
