Those who cared to wake up to watch Banyana Banyana's opening game in the Fifa Women's World Cup might be beating themselves up for sacrificing their sleep.
Desiree Ellis' side lost 2-1 against Sweden after they failed to protect a lead when Hildah Magaia scored the opener.
South Africans have since reacted to the loss as some are optimistic that Banyana's fortunes will change when they take on Argentina in their second game of Group G. Others, meanwhile, do not see a shred of hope for South Africa in the global spectacle.
