Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp made a bad call with team selection. Morgan Gibbs-White of Forest shields the ball from Curtis Jones, one of the young players Jurgen Klopp started.

Under-20s failure to qualify for Afcon a sad own goal for SA football

This means the boys will not be part of the 2023 Under-20 Afcon that will be held in Egypt in February. And for their sin, as a matter of consequence, they also forfeited any chance they were harbouring of playing in the Fifa Under-20 World Cup in Indonesia, also next year.

They all benefited from being part of those junior tournaments, hence the longevity and the many years they served in Bafana.
