Bafana players taking selfies 'embarrassing'

Evidence Makgopa and goalkeeper Veli Mothwa were captured taking pictures with Pogba immediately after the final whistle in their 5-0 drubbing in Lile.

"Where is the patriotism from the players?" Palacios questions to KickOff.

"Do the players want to keep the picture with memories of losing 5-0?

"But I don't want the coaches to make excuses for the players' behaviour. There is a team manager and other people leading the team.

"How did the players bring a cellphone onto the field or did they use an official's phone? I am expecting the phones to have been in the dressing room."

Palacious himself had previously banned former Orlando Pirates striker, Luis Boa Morte for having his cellphone in the dressing room.

"This was not a new rule at Orlando Pirates. Phil Setshedi did the same with Williams Okpara as a manager at Orlando Pirates.

"This was not personal but a rule that applied to all the players at Orlando Pirates. Benni McCarthy was another big name that played in Europe. He and Boa Morte couldn't be treated differently from the rest of the squad."
