Mamelodi Sundowns vs Orlando Pirates - Nedbank Cup

Downs vs Bucs in Nedbank Cup

Posted: 2010-05-03 11:45

Mamelodi Sundowns and Orlando Pirates will battle it out in the Nedbank Cup quarterfinals following the draw at Melrose Arch this morning.

The Brazilians vs Buccaneers clash is the most high-profile of the round, although there are a some other mouth-watering clashes.

First Division side FC Cape Town’s reward for eliminating Kaizer Chiefs is an away match against Bidvest Wits, while AmaZulu are at home to University of Pretoria, who knocked Moroka Swallows out in the previous round.

The other match sees Free State Stars at home to Mpumalanga Black Aces.

Meanwhile, PSL CEO Kjetil Siem has announced that tickets have gone on sale as from midday today and that close to 20 000 have been pre-sold for the Final on May 22, which will coincide with the opening of Soccer City.

Soccer Critic ( Tivani ): 2010-05-03 11:50

They must do redraw. we want to meet them at the finals. PSL hates Pirates.

Mandilakhe: 2010-05-03 11:52

Yakhalínduku. Betha i Tawana plus noyise ubone ukuba awuwugqibanga na umzi. Bucs are too good for downs

Soccer Critic ( Tivani ): 2010-05-03 11:53

Kaizer Motoung was conducting the draw so that Pirates could be eliminated.

Soccer Critic ( Tivani ): 2010-05-03 11:54

like this guy Bhanqo in Soccer Laduma hahahahahaha!!!he sees the truth now.

Pienaar said no African team will win the W. C. I also have no faith in him . He is only coming to increase his profile but has no wish of lifting the Cup.

****I dont wana see Pienaar on the pitch

Soccer Critic ( Tivani ): 2010-05-03 11:59

Beacuse steven Pienarr is doing well for Everton, theoritically he is doing well for Bafana? This how stupid we are in South Africa. Perraire once said " playing well for your team, does not mean you will play well for the country. Some people are saying Pienaar sweat for the country. Since when he was sweating? Some says he did well in the ConfD cup. hehehehehe!!! How many goals he created in the ConfD. stop overrating Pienaar. Only Bernad Parker did well in the confedaration cup.

Mandilakhe: 2010-05-03 12:00

Bucs 5-0 Flops

Once a Chiefs fan always a Fool: 2010-05-03 12:00

A disaster for the final but Orlando Pirates do have a chance to win this one. Orlando stadium should be the venue as Sundowns doesn't have any home ground at the moment.

Soccer Critic ( Tivani ): 2010-05-03 12:01

Pirates will win this one easily

Maestro KC: 2010-05-03 12:01

Eish saan sorry fro Downs they are going out, on paper, we will see on the Pitch

Soccer Critic ( Tivani ): 2010-05-03 11:53

Why is it that my team always gets mentioned? I forget, its because they define SA football.

Which game did pienaar perform well for BB? I dont have hope for Pienaar. Jah!! Jesus Christ was killed for preaching the truth.

Soccer Critic ( Tivani ): 2010-05-03 12:06

I agree with those who says the game must go to Soccer City.

Jacob/Styles: 2010-05-03 12:06

Wow this is a mouthwatering one indeed, however let me be honest I'm weary of Sundowns now. Reason being that they will want to avenge for their boys (laaititjies) Tawana. Maar met Mabalane on the right and Mongalo on the left, wie se ngwe?

Good draw 4 downs the game must go to soccer city

Mthondolovhani: 2010-05-03 12:14

I fully agree with those saying Pinaar doesnt play well at BB, if ppl really watch soccer then they can c that when Pinaar plays for BB he holds on to the ball 4 too long and he will either be fouled/fall down or lose the ball. I still have to b convinced by him at BB. He is not effective at all.

FISTOS: 2010-05-03 12:26

only idiots will say those negative things about pienaar,
the thing is pienaar just reached this form he is having this season,and he prooved during the conf cup that he is gud for our national team after that cow tekoloshi lost his form,and again if u play with cows like Twala wat can u do?even messi and drogba don't do things they are doing at their teams in their national teams because they will be another cow in the national team that got chosen because he plays for a certain team,

Sky Namibia : 2010-05-03 12:27

(Soccer Critic) Tivani or whatever they call u...somtimes u say things u shld'nt have say,calling Pienaar &Bennie racist...they ar Bafana's hope 4 the world cup alongside Teko,Itu Khune...i only hope Nasief Morris will be there...

Sathane: 2010-05-03 12:28

You never cease to make me vomit, the topic is about Sundowns Vs Pirates, but you blood agents have changed the subjects in order to criticize Steven Pienaar. Get a life Pienaar is realistic I concur with him that no African country will win this world cup.

kick off, come on dont be lazy, what about the game between Golfers chiefs and Tiger Woods? i mean thats interesting game of them all. and if Chiefs win they will play derby with Ernie Els at Soccer city oops i mean the opening of Golf city. i cant wait 4 this derby.

Once a Chiefs fan always a Fool: 2010-05-03 12:33

The fact is: Pienaar wont enjoy african Football. He must change his attiitude first. as for CatchMoneyBrothers"Mqulusi"(CMB): South Africa is not Zimbabwe. Im just expressing ma opinion. I nvr change the topic in anyway.

Soccer Critic ( Tivani ): 2010-05-03 12:39

****** Agents are Kick off and soccer laduma journalists. They are campaining for Pienaar left, right and centre. They want us to believe Pienaar has done well for BB.

Sathane: 2010-05-03 12:39

I'm not sure what are you implying by saying this is not Zimbabwe, against you lack respect for Zim. Have you ever heard of something called robust debate or constructive criticism? Schillo is a complete footballer you can't expect him to perfomance to his best ability in the same field with the overrated Teko, and lance davids of this world common.

You must respect chiefs, they are a big team. Besides golf they are organising a variety of games this days to keep busy like cricket, 5 aside soccer, indigenous games like morabaraba, diketo, hula hoops and even sudoku.

"Players wearing shirts numbered 10 will soon be popular, because it will be the only difference between the teams. You cannot win without a No. 10."

Please Pirates bring back that number 10 jersey or else we will continue being laughing stock of all these other teams.

kwela-kwela madondo: 2010-05-03 12:48

It was my dream to face Pirates at this stage of the tournament so that our road to the final will be easy.

People I talking nonsense about how we won against Leopards. The team played in he PSL and they were involved in the promtional play-offs. It is always difficult to play with teams from the NDF. Ask Chiefs.

FISTOS:

Schillo had done nothing for Bafana Bafana. In the past 13 years he nvr created a goal for BB and he only score 2 goals. Teko on the other hand in the past 3 years he created 29 goals and scored 14 goals. I think im better than these racist SL and kickoff journos who r campaining for courlads in the squad.

Soccer Critic ( Tivani ): 2010-05-03 12:50

Ppl need to understand that although we agree that Pinaar is enjoying the form of his life at Everton, we are saying for BB he is playing below average same to the overrated Modise who only played well against Botswana and that was ages ago. We are going to support them at the World Cup since our hopes are on them but they play kak at BB, truth be told!

This is where noise makers expose their ignorance in football! Yes Downs has struggled against minnors, its difficult to play a team that has nothing to loose ( ask chips & Plantinum stars, Santos etc).

Against cupless (for a decade) Bhakabhaka Downs will turn things around and proceed to the semis.If Pirates win....I will immediately become gay!!!!

pirates players must give its fans a joyful entrace to the 2010 worlrd cup by winning the only last cup this season

spice: 2010-05-03 16:05

Messi is unstoppable at Barca. However, he hasnt done anything similar for Argentina. Steven Pienaar is unplayable for Everton, but let admit, even know can testify that he still owes Bafana his finest hour yet.

Pro-South Africa : 2010-05-03 16:11

Pirates have been given a lease of life; with due respect Mr. Moloto is not a tactician and Krol will beat him anytime anywhere

James: 2010-05-03 16:38

Clearly, how foolish can you be to compare Pienaar to moemish Teko??? the only reason Teko is in the Bafana team is because he is a McDonalds embassador and cannot be dropped from the team. Whether he plays sh.. ! or not we have to content with having this moemish in the team. Teko will remain an ordinary shibobo Pierats team and in his wildest dreams will not come close to Master Pienaar!!!

Thulasizwe: 2010-05-03 17:03

Well People Soccer City is reserved for the FINAL plus Sundowns have 2500 Fans (including Haters of Bucs) and Pirates will have around 20 000 Fans (including haters of Downs) and if you do your Maths You do not need an 80 000 seater for that...some clumpsy stadium can do...

Thulasizwe: 2010-05-03 17:08

Oh Yeah About the Pienaar issue...Truth is UGLY isn't it? No African Country will WIN the World CUp and South Africans even if there was an African club to win the damn thing it wouldnot be your country...South African Soccer is ****ed up...How can Fans say such a useless draw of Downs vs Bucs go to Soccer City? I mean even 2 SA giants battled out of the Soccer City...Fans Grow up and The ONLY hope of SA making it to the last 16 lies on Pienaar, McCarthy, Khune, Evidence Dikgacho and MAYBE Teko...so don't be STUPID PLEASE!!!

Ramon: 2010-05-05 17:31

Its going to be one dull game, sundows's leftback is very poor and with terminator the life wire for Pierats it could swing the game in the Bugs favour. All in all both teams are playing hogwash, it remains to be seen hw the game will penn out.
