John Terry tips South Africa to rediscover identity after World Cup setback
“Every game is so difficult,” John Terry says. “It’s a really young group, they’ll be better for this.
“I want to see passion, in the games I’ve seen, it’s front-foot, from the outside, there’s a gameplan. Tonight, are we building up from the back, I’m not sure, are we going direct or long, I’m not sure.
“We don’t know what South Africa team that was tonight, we want to see a South Africa team that is passionate and gives it a go.”
