New BafanaBafana coach Hugo Broos will be aware that Zimbabwe will be a potential banana-skin when the two teams meet in a World Cup Qualifier on Friday. WorldCupQualifiers | IOLsport
Failure to book their ticket to Germany 2006, Brazil 2014 and Russia 2018 has now rendered World Cup qualification the much sought after Holy Grail of South African football. Hopes of sealing a spot for the festival of football in the Middle East in November and December 2022 are not exactly high, humility having long set in due to recent failures.
Under the Croatian, Zimbabwe have assembled a strong looking squad boasting the experience of the well travelled and hard running sharpshooter Knowledge Musona and the defensive solidity provided by English League One side Wigan Athletic’s Tendayi Darikwa and Jordan Zemura who turns out for English Championship AFC Bournemouth.
Bafana’s Belgian tactician, Broos, will also need to select a strong midfield if the South Africans are to contend with the central defensive midfield steel of English Premier League club Aston Villa’s Marvelous Nakamba and Marshall Munetsi who is enjoying a regular run for French Ligue 1 outfit Stade Reims.
