In a chat with Sunday World, Broos said after the team’s impressive 3-3 draw against Algeria in a friendly game, that his ambition is to qualify South Africa for the 2026 World Cup and doesn’t see any team stopping his dream.
“We played against a very strong team, but I do not think there was much difference between the quality of our game and the quality of the game in Algeria,” Broos said per Sunday World.
“That means we have progressed in the last few months. We already showed that in the AFCON, and we did it again against Algeria. So, I don’t think we have to be afraid anymore of playing against any team in Africa

The same team that lost to Rwanda abi
Yes they lost to Rwanda but they nearly beat us at afcon.
At this level don’t neglect anyone or else you Will have yourself to blame.
our own SE lost to Mali 0:2
With Finindi that left Lookman on the bench to play Iheanacho and Moses as attackers, SA will beat us home and away.
Bring on Ndubisi Egbo and Finindi assist him or Amuneke and Finindi.
A good Oyibo would be better but we really can not afford one now.
These two friendly matches were a waste, it should have been used to prepare for the WC qualifier in June.
It should have been a build up from the AFCON, but we wasted it.
