Mamelodi Sundowns coach Pitso Mosimane says it is frustrating that South African football has not learned from the 2010 Soccer World Cup success.
"Everything about the World Cup was perfect. Stadiums were packed, but not even one game was delayed because fans were stuck outside still trying to get in. Fans arrived on time and knew exactly where they were supposed to sit," Mosimane said, as quoted by SowetanLIVE.
"Now we go for a warm-up, knowing the match is kicking off at 3pm, suddenly you're told, hold on, there's potential for a stampede outside. Why didn't we learn from the World Cup?" he continued.
"But what surprises me even more is that these match commissioners deny us the chance to water the grass before KickOff. Why? This helps the flow of play. It was done during the World Cup; it's done in big leagues. But clearly our match commissioners don't know this."
