The Bafana Bafana Thread

It's back on. The guys on the DSTV forum say that it's a special once off agreement between DSTV and the Kenyan FA. It will be on SS4 and HD4 from 17.30, kick off at 18.00. The same feed will be given to SABC.

You might find that the SABC tried to complain to the Kenya FA or something. DSTV wouldn't pass up a chance to show Bafana live.
 
I was surprised to see Kenyans were physically bigger than Bafana. I was expecting some Ethiopian/Somali lookalikes.
 
Bafana are coming back to Cape Town:

Bafana Bafana will face another European opposition, ahead of the 2013 African Cup of Nations, as they host Norway on January 8, 2013, in Cape Town.

According to a Soccer-Laduma source close to SAFA, the international friendly will be played at the Cape Town Stadium and coach Gordon Igesund is happy with the fixture.

The source, who is a SAFA NEC member, told the Siya crew that the details of the game will be finalised and made official in the near future.

"Yes, the game is on and maybe it will be the last one before we engage in the Afcon. You know the last game this year is against Zambia in the Nelson Mandela Challenge in November, so we needed another game early next year and Norway is the opponent," explained the source.

South Africa will host the defending Afcon champions, Zambia, at Soccer City on November 14, for the Nelson Mandela Challenge.
