It's a sad fact but the Bafana Bafana continue to decline as WC 2010 slowly approaches.
96 ANC winners
98 ANC finalists
2000 ANC semi-final
2002 ANC Qt-finals
2004 First round exit.
Now with their capitulation to Ghana in WCQ it's doubtful SA will qualify for Germany and really who can be surprised when one considers how unpatriotic South Africans players who ply their trade in Europe have become.

I am going to watch it but i am sure it wont be pretty.. that said, if a team like Cuba can hold out for most of the match against a team like the usa, the s africans can do the same as long as they have heart

I told you an upset was on the cards...The Mexicans are suffering from Confed Cup withdrawal symptoms and are throwing away their chances like confetti...YUJAM wrote:2 to 0 S Africa. What a shot!
RSA is playing a perfect counter-attacking game and maybe if they win this, Baxter may get to keep his job...
Meanwhile Lavolpe is pissed off and is having his entire bench warm up...his job could be on the line tonight...

RSA are showing the way an African team can whoop Mexico...defend like crazy and counter-attack with your skill players..

Yup, it is a different type of match-up. To think S Africa's third string side is giving Mexico a scare when this very same side beat Brazil just a a few wks ago. Football can truly be a funny game. However, I think ultimately, this speaks volumes about the potential of the African game at the moment.

The truth is that styles makes games...the contrast is what is killing Mexico right now..if this was a Brazil or another European team playing a similar style, the result might be different but I agree with you on the potential of the African game..YUJAM wrote:Yup, it is a different type of match-up.
