Bafana bafana surprises the nation

Bafana bafana have surprised every South African citizen when they beat Senegal 2-1 on the 12th of November 2016 at Peter Mokaba stadium. Nobody gave them a chance against the African giants, although they proved that they can be a team for the big occasion when given a chance, thanks to first half goals by Thulani Hlatshwayo and Thulani Serero. Shakes Mashaba's team showed character on the day and they proved that they can be one of the big teams in Africa if they were to play more big games and be consistent.

Many South African fans and African football fans were very happy to see one of the best players in Africa play on Saturday, Sadio Mane.
Our boys did a very good job in keeping Sadio Mane quiet for the whole game although he created a lot of problems for us in the last 20 minutes of the game.
Bafana Bafana stand a very good chance to qualify for the 2018 FIFA world cup in Russia, with 4 points in two games, holding a second position in group stages.

Our national football team seems complete after that game against Senegal, although many South African football lovers still believe that if we were to get Kermit Erasmus in our current squad, we would be very complete. Like it or not there is a space for Kermit Erasmus in our squad because he is the only striker we have in our country that is good with run of the balls, holding the ball, collecting the ball and creating chances for his teammates.

If Shakes Mashaba can just put his pride and personal agendas away for the sake of the nation, we would be very happy as we want to see Kermit Erasmus in our current squad.
In soccer, there is a saying that goes by, to be the best, you must beat the best with your best squad, so like it or not we need Kermit Romeo Erasmus in our squad and we would be very happy as football followers to see him wearing Bafana bafana jersey instantly.
