Is the match not this Friday? SA coach Hugo Broos is already holding his first pre-match conference for the Zimbabwe match, while it’s still cricket here, only debating who’s out and who’s in on paper.
Who knows? Zimbabwe may pull a draw on Friday, and Rwanda does the same on Tuesday. SA won’t win both matches cos it’s not Lesotho.
If we fail to qualify for the world cup we should hold the nff and some of the players responsible. Nff as it is currently constituted does not know how to manage our senior national team 8n the area of players travelling arrangement, venue for our matches, fixures that have favoured this south african team, .
I don’t know how gusau emerged as the head of nff .
I am still waiting for nff to explain to Nigerians why the overlooked the fraudulent fixtures that have allowed south Africa to esrn cheap points.
The nff failed to appoint a competent technical adviser on time.
If we fail to qualify for the world cup nff board members including the chairman must resign. The members of the technical committee must also step aside.
We are tired of mediocrity and incompetence.
