Durban, South Africa - South Africa midfielder Steven Pienaar stormed out of a press conference on Thursday after refusing to answer questions about his late arrival at a 2008 Nations Cup camp.
"I'm going," shouted the Everton star after his attempt to set the agenda was rejected by journalists in the city where Bafana Bafana are training for the January 20 to February 10 tournament in Ghana.
Everton manager David Moyes wanted Pienaar to play in an English League Cup semifinal at Chelsea last Tuesday, but Fifa rejected the move and Pienaar arrived in South Africa 48 hours after a deadline set by the world controlling body.
