‘Whirlwind’ Thembi Kgatlana embodies South Africa’s future despite Netherlands loss and family tragedy
Chief Football WriterThembi Kgatlana is a mood. She is relentless, like a child’s toy with the button stuck down that won’t stop whirring. She does stepovers in the box and half the crowd shrieks. She rolls her foot over the ball to force a false movement out of a defender, like a magician showing you the pack of cards while he places a coin in your pocket out of sight.
She’s through on goal and shapes as if to curl the ball with her right foot, but instead cuts back to her left and allows Daphne van Domselaar to block the shot. Thirty seconds later, Kgatlana knocks the ball one side of an opponent, spins and runs around the other side to collect it. You cannot dampen her buzz. She has emphatic main character energy., a fact that she dropped into a brief interview as if it were nothing.
