West Ham United striker Benni McCarthy says there's no bitterness over his World Cup omission.
McCarthy understands why South Africa manager Carlos Alberto Parreira left him out.
"I wasn't angry," McCarthy, his country's all-time record scorer with 35 goals, told the Daily Mail.
"In six months leading up to the World Cup, I never really played. I was surprised to be called into the 30-player squad. Then, when you get there, you think, "Maybe, with the experience you've got, you might make the 23". But it didn't happen like that. I wasn't devastated."
