The women's team are on the brink of another World Cup appearance.
Banyana Banyana are heavy favourites to qualify for another Fifa Women’s World Cup ahead of their Women’s Africa Cup of Nations quarterfinal against Tunisia on Thursday night.Success for Desiree Ellis’ charges would be another feather in the cap for the women’s team, a feather that blows strongly in contrast to Bafana Bafana’s, which has blown off their cap and into the distance for about 20 years.
To be fair, Broos isn’t the first Bafana coach to hand over Cosafa Cup coaching duties, and this was effectively an under-23 side that took to the field in Durban, only to be beaten via a penalty shoot out. Banyana’s exploits are far more worthy of our attention. Ellis’ side did brilliantly to take down Nigeria in their opening match, which basically smoothed their passage into an easier quarterfinal fixture. Tunisia may have had an emphatic group win over Togo, but lost their other two group matches, and shouldn’t have enough to beat Banyana, even if star striker Thembi Kgatlana is a big miss for the women’s team.
