Bafana have group in a huff

When other teams are throwing tantrums in your direction, it usually means that you are doing something right.

Bafana Bafana's surge towards the 2026 Fifa World Cup finals is clearly irritating their opponents in Group C. Hugo Broos' side are five points clear at the top of the group, with just three games left to play.

If they beat Nigeria tomorrow, Bafana will, for now, be mathematically there with two games to spare, as long as Benin fail to win at home to Lesotho.

There is, however, still a potential problem. Bafana fielded an ineligible player - Teboho Mokoena - in their qualifier against Lesotho in Polokwane last March.
