The Bafana Bafana Thread

[Agent_Smith]

Oh well: someone must do it, this is what it always boils down to:

TO make it to the knockout stages...
A win for Bafana will see us through to the knockout stages if Senegal beat Algeria.

If Bafana win and Algeria draw (we will both be on four points), Bafana will lose out because of head to head.

If Bafana win and Algeria also win, goal difference will separate Bafana and Senegal.

All these scenarios require us to win...:erm:

Won't it then come down to goal difference? If we manage to smash Ghana then we'll have a better GD than Algeria. Won't that count?

CAF use head to head before GD as far I'm aware.

What scenario has us winning but not qualifying? Maybe that would be a better way to look at it since us having to win is basically a requirement then.

If Algeria and Senegal draw, we are out. Senegal would win with 5 points, Algeria and SA would have 4 each, and Algeria beat us.

Yes, head to head, or most points obtained between teams, in the case of a 3 way tie.

Dat goal though, nobody watching?

 

[Hamish McPanji]

Yeah, great goal

 

[Hamish McPanji]

One thing I can say about this team is that they seem more likely to score than previous teams

 

[Creag]

I am now.

 

[Creag]

Senegal need to do us a big favour tonight.

 

[Creag]

Are the lads going down just for the ice-spray

 

[lilggg]

At 1- 0 down i think i'd prefer algeria to win 2 - 0, cos then we go through if we win

 

[Hamish McPanji]

Whatever the case, Ghana is a big scalp to collect. Am trying to remain optimistic

 

[Creag]

Big theatrical dive by the Ghanaian.

Right. I see what you're saying.

 

[lilggg]

Either way i think it will go down to the wire, a goal in either game will change things.

 

[Creag]

Just seen the replay of the goal. What a beauty.

 

[cr@zydude]

A real cracker of a goal. I'm hoping that Algeria score again, as do we. Maybe we can go through. Most importantly, we can't conceed.

 

[rayven_king]

Wish we'd hold on to possession more

 

[lilggg]

and GG, can't have 0 possesion and defend the entire half.

 

[Hamish McPanji]

OK, that's it then

 

[lilggg]

lol nearly another.
