WORLD CUP: BAFANA FACE ANOTHER DATE WITH DESTINY AGAINST CANADA

- Jonty Mark

Keep the dream alive

Bafana Bafana will jet off for Los Angeles today, with their 2026 Fifa World Cup dreams alive and kicking and their sights set on Canada in the last 32.

South Africa’s 1-0 Group A win over South Korea on Wednesday evening in Monterrey was described as a “little miracle” by head coach Hugo Broos, as Bafana made it out of the group stages at a Fifa World Cup finals for the first time ever.

It is certainly an achievement that no one could have foreseen after the dismal opening defeat to Mexico on 11 June.

But over five years as Bafana head coach, Broos has built a resilient Bafana, with a pleasant habit of upsetting the odds.

Now the question is just how far Bafana can go at this World Cup?
