African nations have great strength in them. Surely one among then can reach semi finals of this worldcup. It is one of my dreams too. An African-European final is my dream. I had a hope just before the first match. I have seen champions in South Africa. But their first match against Mexico proved that they have to do more homework. They have to work more on passes. Their defense is back. Mphela has to find the rhythm, the sooner the better.
The Tshabalala goal was excellent. Carlos Perera has transformed the team. The first match was a draw, that does not mean that South African side played well. They have to find ways to take advantage of ground support. The only word which can describe the save by Khune is -outstanding. South Africa has the potential, but they are not using it.
My advice for them is that don’t play for a draw, play for victory. Particular care is needed when they give long passes. Their height is a problem so short passes will be helpful. I can’t forgive Mphela for his last time miss of a sure goal chance. Good luck for the team, do some home work seriously before the next match.
