The battle of Soweto giants

Kaizer Chiefs and Orlando Pirates held a joint press conference at FNB stadium yesterday afternoon. Reneilwe Letsholonyane was representing the Glamour Boys while Pirates was represented by their captain Lucky Lekgwathi and midfielder Daine Klate, and they are all looking forward to Saturday's Soweto Derby clash.

The derby has always attracted lot of people and it has great expectations from the fans. This might seem as a tiring match because both teams are meeting for the second time in a very short space of time after playing the Carling Black Label Cup on the 27th of July 2013.

Kaizer Chiefs have been in fine form while Pirates have been doing well in CAF and this will make the fans to expect a tough and entertaining football between the two giants.

They all want to win and make their fans happy which will be the case when they meet on weekend. History or past performance does not count, a derby has always been different and players want to do well.

Will we see a different approach this time and goals or it will just for fun for players to be on field?

  1. Man I personally think in those times watch derby is just unless draw all the way, even though the stadium is full on its capacity but is not an open game, what do we need as South African to reach the level of Barclays Premier League? A derby like Man u vs Man City

    1. The South African football is still developing and the big problem we are facing as a nation is the new system of hiring European coaches instead of local ones. European coaches brings the European style that kills SA's football which is ''dribbling'' that get fans to the stadium.

    1. Derby has become something that the fans are not happy with compared to years of John Shoes Moshoe and Jerry Skhosana.
      Anyway the best team won but we had lot of expectations in terms of goals.
