With less than 2 years remaining before on of the biggest soccer tournament which will be held at Brazil, our National soccer team Bafana Bafana is standing a chance of not qualifying for the tournament. Since Bafana Bafana was given the clearance of playing in soccer tournaments after the apartheid era Bafana went on to win the African Cup of Nations in 1996 and managed to participate in 3 world cups as they missed out on the 2006 world cup at Germany after falling to qualify. Will we see that repeat again as they have failed to win 2 of their opening games of the first qualification stage against Ethiopia at home and Botswana away. We have recorded 2 draws and we have 2 points on position 3 in the group.

This poor performance saw the termination of Bafana coach Pisto Mosimane who succeed Carlos Alberto Pererira after the 2010 World Cup that was held here in South Africa Mzanzi were by we failed to make it past the first stage. Pitso Mosimane had a poor run with Bafana and things got worse after the world cup qualifying games then he was released from his contract. This saw the appointment of a new coach Gordon Igusend with four games remaining in the preliminary group stage will he manage to lead the boys to a number one position in the group. Should Bafana fail to top the group then they will kiss Brazil goodbye, ad they first have to make it through the preliminary group stage to play in the final group stage with other group leaders which will see five African National teams go to represent Africa in this prestigious tournament.

We have played 2 friendly games under the new coach with a narrowly loss to Brazil on the official World Cup hand out game and a 2-0 win against Mozambique. The new coach's reaction was that we are on a right tract as he is looking to build a machine out of the current crop of players he got, a machine that will manage to compete with the best. Bafana have a busy schedule ahead of the with a friendly against Poland next month and a possible friendly against United Arab Emirates four days after the Poland game with another fixture against the current African champions in November as they prepare for the next year AFCON which will be held on our home soil. This a great performance by Bafana Bafana will give them hope in making it to Brazil.

    looking to the Gordon Igusend system i think we will escape from the group stage, Gordon use experience players which i think is the best.

    The boys need to prepare themselves very well,because if they want to do what they did in 2010, then i feel sorry for them.
