Can Bafana Bafana win the AFCON?

hw ironical - SS4 showing how south africa won AFCON '96
Clive barker's squad was different class.
they understood the magnitude and significance of representing
our country and it showed on the field.

NO

as good as gordon igesund is as a manager he does not play.How many players do we have in the top European leagues, let alone teams? One,Steven Pienaar and he is not playing. While miracles happen, ask any Chelsea supporter,you need good players ,which Chelsea had , in comparison Bafana have no-one playing at any decent leve,worldwide, and while we have a chance it is only a remote one.

Morocco eachway...

our central midfielder Dean Furman. Oldham Athletic 19th position in league 1. Speaks for itself. I dont want to see a good coach getting buried by a bunch of Muppets at SAFA

I'm surprised Bafunny Bafunny are 10-1, surely they should be at least double those odds??

Greg not sure u will get 10/1 locally but I would take 20/1 (tu)

What has he too lose? rumour has it he is on R400,000 a month.I would train them for half that..Even if he fails he will get a decent payout ,how many millions and then get another big job in SA. To me any knowledgable person will realise it is an impossible job. Clive Barker won in 1996, drew with Germany and,Argentina lost 3-2 with Brazi afterwards, took SA to number 13 in the World Rankings and when they were knocked out of the Confederations Cup by the 9th ranked Czech Republic was Fired, conveniently before the World Cup in France.

His reputation. Theres alot of previous managers and unsuccesful candidates hoping he fails. But truth be told he is the perfect man for the job, Hes been given a huge uphill task and unfortunatley no time

Agree about people hoping he fails but I don`t think it bothers Gordon. Coaching your national team is always a plus on your CV and having won the league with 4 different clubs cannot harm his credentials .Bafana will be well organised and hard too beat while,our set piece play will be key to progressing. At the end of the day we are not good enough,everyone knows that and whatever happens Gordon`s coaching qualities will never be damaged.

Dave I am saying they should be 20-1 at least, the 10-1 being offered by our bookies is ridiculous imo....

Greg I am saying u will be lucky to get 10/1 or "unlucky" locally but don't think they will be far away.
