I have been reading about this south Africans and their boastfulness. Our boys should just remain focused and humble. They will definitely eat the humble pie for writing us off. That they defeated us in Uyo should not be a yardstick to measure our determination to win this game.
If God can help Super Eagle to beat Cameroon South Africa will also stumble on the field
There’s nothing Super about a team beaten by Madagascar and that lost all three World Cup matches. The only Super Eagles I know is the one of USA ‘94.
On Wednesday, you will know another Super Eagles. This is AFCON, not World Cup. This is quarter final football, not group stage football. Wait and watch!
