The Bafana Bafana Thread

Congrats on making it to the round of 16 I guess. Boring game, sitting back defending, trying to draw. I don't like that negative style.

Yeah, it wasn't pretty but effective anyway. I am also happy to see that it looks like Namibia will qualify as well, last time I checked there was only one third placed team with 4 points, the others had 3 or 2 points.

Having beaten Tunisia and drawn with Mali, they deserve something.

Well done. The result was the important thing.

I questioned myself as to why I even watched that, seriously not worth my time.

I am just wondering why play the risky game of sitting back, it could have easily backfired.

This Tunisian side is the worst I have seen in a long time. Congratulations to the boys, I guess, but would like to see more than this from them.

 

[Neptuner]

As expected a draw.

Remember that we beat Morocco in the qualifiers. The way I see it this Afcon is up for the taking, the only teams I fear is Mauritania and Angola.

If we play like tonight we have no chance..hopefully being a knockout game it should be good

Terrible game plan, if U have the lead and only need a draw..then sure play like that. One moment can change everything playing for a draw

A pleasant surprise is just how weak all those big teams are, as I say, the only teams that have impressed me so far is Mauritania and Angola, also forgot about Cape Verde. The rest are just like us, fair game.

I call this one to be won by one of the underdogs.

So once upon a time I was a die hard supporter, but too many heartbreaks hardened my heart. The author upset that people dont support bafana bafana, maybe if they win something:

Bafana Bafana are just the Cheese and Wine squad, well they play like it.

Are these losers going to impress the nation tonight?

Have serious doudts ...

But if a very substantial "brown envelope" was passed on - who knows

The African way?

 

[elf_lord_ZC5]

The African way?

Yep!

A brown envelope, speaks the same language, anywhere on the continent.

 

[McTwinks]

Yep!

A brown envelope, speaks the same language, anywhere on the continent.

It may well even work when you're opening the WC against Mexico at home.

Probably, but who knows, I certainly don't - nor do I want to. Not going to get me any free cigars.

BMT (Bafana match temperament) will rear its ugly head.

 

[6spdmanual]

These guys are up to their old tricks already.

 

[JuliusSeizure]

Bafana take this game to penalties and they can win. Morocco are not in the best of form so that may be their best hope bar a lucky goal.

It will only really be embarassing if they lose like 4 or 5 nil. If they lose marginally, it won't as Morocco is a better team.
