By OfentseMokae 29 June 2009
Bafana Bafana may not have emerged as victors during the FIFA Confederations tournament this year, but they could make the country proud in the coming 2010 FIFA World Cup.
However given their performance during the tournament, Santana clearly gave it his best shot to improve the team’s form.
Not only did our boys perform far better than expected, they also helped to boast the image of the country in the international community as the boys are our sport ambassadors to world.
After drawing nil to Iraq in the first match, and later beating New Zealand two nil the boys, enabling it to qualify for the semi-finals of the tournament, it boasted the moral of nation and drew along a lot of support from its fans.
For South Africans this tournament was also a platform to showcase our state readiness for the coming FIFA World cup.
“These games are not for the players only but our opportunity to show the world that South Africa and Africa is ready for the big games next year”, said a one member of the public.
The team’s midfielder MacBeth Sibiya was quoted in a national publication saying the team will focus on rebuilding the team to prepare for the World Cup.
“This is about us continuing our preparation for next year’s World Cup. It is about us consolidating the gains that we have made in this competition as a group, together with the technical team”, said the team’s strongman.
