Ronwen Williams trolled on IG after Fifa Club World Cup exit
Mamelodi Sundowns captain and goalkeeper Ronwen Williams has continued to be trolled by South Africans after the team received an early exit from the Fifa Club World Cup.
The skipper has been accused of making a series of mistakes that fans believe ultimately cost the squad a spot in the Top 16.
Earlier this week, Sundowns drew against Brazilian side Fluminense, landing in the bottom half of their group stage games.
Ronwen Williams shared his first Instagram post since Sundowns were knocked out of the Fifa Club World Club.
'My dreams will become my reality', he captioned a collage of pics from his stint in the US tournament.
Sadly, his post was filled with criticism from football fans.
@trevorbonga_: 'You only had one thing to do and yet you failed'.
@masibolekwendima: 'I hope you correct your mistakes and don't become like [Itumeleng] Khune '.
@shaunkgomotso_: 'He needs to apologise'. View this post on Instagram

While Ronwen Williams has received a tongue-lashing from Sundowns supporters, the Minister of Sport, Art and Culture had nothing but praise for the player and the club.
He posted on X: 'The mere fact that [Sundowns] made it to the Club World Cup is absolute proof of its greatness as a football club. Less than one percent of the world's clubs are playing at this tournament. Well done. You made us very proud and managed to get 4 points, that's great.'
