The Uruguayan striker qualifies to turn out for South Africa after spending so many years in the country playing for Sundowns
The Uruguayan striker qualifies to turn out for South Africa after spending so many years in the country playing for Kabo Yellow.Sirino says that football in South Africa is different to anywhere else in the world and he would be honoured to don our national colours.At 32-years-old Sirino is probably running out of time to achieve the feat, but he says he would not hesitate if called up.
“I have had a great time in this beautiful country, I love everything about it and if I get presented with the chance to don the national team colours, I would jump at the opportunity,” Sirino told “But the decision does not rest with me. There is no player born in South America who has played for Bafana Bafana and if I receive the call, I would be happy to represent this beautiful nation.
“I still recall how shocked I was when I saw the guys singing before the game with Collen leading the gents in a song. Where I come from, these things don’t happen, but I slowly got used to the songs and now can sing along with the fans,” he went on. “I must admit that the Haka Matorokisi dance we do at the stadium with the Yellow Nation is very sentimental as they sing their lungs out at every game.” Lotto draws: Here are Wednesday, 11 October’s numbers and results
