We must also read the rule propeerly, so that what happened in the last AFCON should Not repeat itself.
To be a South African is a joke nowadays.

There is no easy opponent,Bafana or the person who wrote this article should know that.

hahahahahahhahahahahahahahahaha!!!! Epic
1. Four Nations Cup was played regularly with proper team like Cote d'vore, Zambia (Bwalya Brothers, elijah Letana, Witson Nyirenda), Ghana (Frank Amankwa, Tony Yeboah, Abedi Pele), Egypt, Cameroon, Zimbabwe.
2. Oversea Oppositions included, Germany (New JHB stadium), Argentine, Brazil, Mexico, England,
3. Principles were right, If a team has got three or more players in the national therefore their game will be postponed.
Today we keep playing aboKenya, Lesotho (No disrespect), Botswana. when we play overseas oppositions we play aboIceland, Poland and Guatamala. I would rather have south africa beaten heavily by the superpowers than loose against an unknown like Poland (Cos some cow in the SAFA' Ivory Tower called Kirsten and his predecessor called Molefe trying to save money for themselves).
All Hail Stix RIP

This Phefeni Boy protege will sing the following tune when Bafoony wins one of their games, "Bafana Chiefs won!" But when we lose dismally, which is the inevitable, he will sing, "We lost as a nation."
Voetsek maan!!!!!! This boys are a disgrace!
