South Africa : If you had asked me two months ago what I thought Bafana Bafana’s chances were of advancing out of group A, I would have said slim to none. They were in the middle of a somewhat discouraging training camp trip in Brazil. Lack of enthusiasm was working it’s way through the squad. Poor opposition was forcing Coach Carlos Perreira to reconsider his concept of possession type soccer. Discourse amongst the SAFA back home had put preparations into chaos as no beneficial friendlies had been scheduled. It looked as if we’d be lucky to get a win at all in the tournament itself.
Fast forward to yesterday and a solid 1-0 win over Denmark. This follows on from wins against Guatemala, Colombia, Thailand and Jamaica putting them in a great position at the end of a 12-match unbeaten run going into Friday’s opener. The European-based players have bought into Perreira’s style and match tactics, and home grown talent such as Katlego Mphela and Teko Modise have shown that they belong at this level.
