Bafana's Group A opponents also had mixed reactions

- By Kgomotso Mokoena

Bafana Bafana coach Hugo Broos is perturbed by the reality of having to face Mexico in the opening match of the tournament at the Azteca Stadium-a somewhat repeat of the 2010 opening ceremony at the FNB Stadium in Johannesburg.

For the Fifa World Cup next year, South Africa was drawn in Group A alongside Mexico, South Korea and the winners of the Uefa playoffs among North Macedonia, Ireland, Czech Republic and Denmark.

The World Cup will be co-hosted by the USA, Mexico, and Canada in June next year.
