2026 World Cup: It was pure pressure - Oliseh speaks on South Africa's defeat to Mexico

Former Super Eagles midfielder Sunday Oliseh said South Africa's 2-0 loss to Mexico in the 2026 World Cup opener was due to 'pure pressure', not tactics. Julián Quiñones and Raúl Jiménez scored for the co-hosts at the Azteca Stadium. Bafana Bafana finished with nine men after Sphephelo Sithole and Themba Zwane were sent off. Oliseh felt the stage was too big for South Africa.
