#3 South Africa could have showed more urgency
The game was all for South Africa to play. The players have toiled hard to come this far. We have already heard stories of players who paid from their pocket to make it to Bhubaneswar. After a worst experience against India, where they were beaten by 0-5, the only option left for South Africa was to beat Canada to make any chance for crossovers.
After the draw, the task is tougher. South Africa now have only one point from two matches, similar to Canada but the former is standing on bottom due to their inferior goal difference. South Africa will now have to beat Belgium in their last match to qualify, which is quite unimaginable, given the way the Reds played against India.
South Africa might take heart from the fact that they perhaps done their best against an opponent whom they had real chance to beat. They took the opportunities, dominated in the first half but the lack of urgency from some players cost them the match.
