It is only minutes now. We're counting the seconds.
South Africa will soon play the French and it is both teams' last match in the group stages. We only have to look at the French to see that they are a side full of talent and whether they remain angry with their coach, disunited or lackluster, they can still easily beat us. It doesn't matter who they are or what they do, it is up to the South African football team to play soccer with fierce determination and intelligence.
The fans have done their bit. They have gathered together and proclaimed to the world that they will support their national side. They will blow their vuvuzelas, wear yellow and cheer on the national side. Everybody is ready, and more than anything, we want to see a great match. Bafana Bafana we want to see that you are appreciative of our trust in you, that you will try and win. Make us really and truly, five goals to nil proud.
That can't be done if you play it safe team, it can't be done if you've resigned yourselves to a draw, and it doesn't matter if Raymond Domench is staring down at you with those horribly huge black eyebrows of his. It doesn't matter if you're playing in the premier league or in a tiny team that nobody knows about, it is about playing for South Africa. Yes, we all love the world cup, and we know Argentina deserves to win, but there is nothing like cheering on your country.
And that, [besides all the technical stuff], is what stands between South Africa and Freedom. A deep breath, Uruguay/Mexico and a few goals. May Allah Almighty help us.
Go Bafana, GO GO!
