The Bafana Bafana Thread

Not to be a hater, but let's hope Ghana and Nigeria fail to qualify for WC2026 as well.
 
Yeah, I agree, almost like it's impossible for some people to give credit where it's due, Bafana are playing well and have been filling stadiums all over the country, why would it suddenly have something to do with the Springboks when it's Cape Town?

Its called click bait. Are you new here?
 
Another 2 - 0 win, and zimbabwe scored in extra time for 1 - 1 against Nigeria..even better. But we might be docked 3 points...
For all the trouble our neighbours Zim and Lesotho bring us, it's actually very nice when they become useful for a change.

Well done to Bafana, we are pulling our own weight and not depending on anyone.
 
Will be nice having a team to actually shout for at the world cup. Almost there
 
18 games unbeaten, thinking back to how **** we were before broos..its amazing

Yeah, it's looking really good. TBH, At one time things looked so bad I thought no coach even Pep Guardiola will be able to qualify us for the WC due to the shambles SAFA are in but Broos has proven that the coach does make a difference.
 
However, it looks like we could possibly be docked three points which if Lesotho take this up and win, will reduce our points advantage to two and it really will throw the group open again. They committed a mishap by fielding Teboho Mokoena in the game vs Lesotho when he was supposed to have been suspended due to his accumulation of yellow cards.

 
This is such a rookie error that should easily have been avoided :(

Yeah, and Nigeria is probably going to push Lesotho to keep alive whatever chances they have of making it. Nigeria was also docked three points for a similar error in 2018 World Cup qualifying so they won't just let this pass.
 
The only defence they have here is that they can claim Lesotho did not report it within the 24 hour timeframe they were supposed to have done so which is true.

I'm inclined to think Lesotho only picked up on it after someone from Nigeria picked on it.

It was a ridiculously stupid mistake by SAFA, but sadly they have done stupid stuff like this before. I seem to remember SAFA claiming that the CAF rules on goal difference were unclear, after we didn't realise that we hadn't qualified for AFCON.
