Bafana Bafana vs Bulgaria

Siphiwe Tshabalala' (Shaba)

Bafana Bafana will face their biggest test under head coach Carlos Alberto Parreira when they host Bulgaria in an international friendly at the Orlando Stadium tonight. (Kick-off 8.35pm).

Even though Bulgaria lost 2-1 to Belgium on Wednesday, the “Tricolors” should provide South Africa with a tougher test than Thailand, who Bafana Bafana trashed Thailand 4-0 in Nelspruit last weekend. Bulgaria are ranked 39th in the world, compared with Bafana’s 90th.

Bafana Bafana Final 23-man Squad

Bafana Bafana players are also fighting for places in the final 23-man squad that Parreira will announce as per FIFA rules by June 1.

We do know that two of the 30 players are already out – Orlando Pirates midfield star Andile Jali and Israel-based defender Bevan Fransman. 20-year-old Jali flew to Florida in the United States for tests on a heart condition at the weekend. And Fransman will only be called in as a last resort.

    I am said about the exclusion of mccarthy.I feelwe need his experience against te international teams. He is slightly unfit but he can score goals and he was not given much chance to practise during our practise matches

  • melo

    i think frankline cale was not given enough chance to prove himself but hey hope the players who were chosen will do us proud…RE BAFANA KAOFELA

  • nice

    its good that they left out Benni McCarthy – hes been f***** the conuntry for years.He deserves this.

  • spiriato

    1st of all Congratulation to Bafana Bafana and to the Technical Team and the Head Coach would Like to Say Thank You for the Gr8! Job.
    Benni McCarthy- He didnt listen whn He was Told to shape up His Body since it was a Disaster,But He is a very Good Player with a Good Skill but He also saw Yesterday that the Young Guys are Hungry. I feel bad for Him.

    Rowen Fernandez – He is not doing good The Technical Team waz Forcing to put Him into the Squad by the way Thanx for Taking Him out we need sum new Talent now.

    Bryce Moon – He was lucky to Play agains Gaul… Macth played on Mondae nyt,But He didnt impressed me not even a Coach too,This is a Lesson tht next tym if u given a Chance just use it,dont play with it.

    The rest to Me they are out of Form..

    Good riddance to Bennie!!

    I feel bad about the exclussion of Benni McCarthy coz I believe that the selected strikers are not that sharp in front of goal. Mphela has only managed to score penalties but few opportinities turned to goals as he appears to be our main striker. The selected strikers manage to score clear visible goals that cant be missed by any1. Thats my wory.

    After all im happy about the selection though im not sure about Methew Both.

    I’m impressed with the decision taken, i would have loved to see Benni on the final squad but he is unfit and nothing can be done at this stage. happy to see bhele Nomvete in final squad. i have a belief that those 23 men will do us proud and we are behind you 100%.all the best

  • Josh

    I think they should have put an extra striker in ie. Benni Mcarthy instead of having three keapers

  • nancy

    i think these five men were not that commited for their country and as for Benny,i dont have much to say but just to say he was suppose to lose those fats long time ago.And good luck to the chosen ones.RE BAFANA KAOFELA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • sbusiso xulu

    Big mistake leaving benni for the world cup, as for lance david, i dont know what he is doing still on da bafana bafana

  • Tebogo Sekoko

    Shake n bake, it is time for the biggest show piece (Soccer World Cup 2010), a Teko le Simphiwe ba tlogele go nna cowards and start attacking (with a great deal of relaxation on the ball and commitment), ga ba thoma go tshameka ka tsela e ntseng jalo Bafana will certainly do well in the tourney, all the best jimbos, masibangene, ubugwala sibu gooi-ya-in the rubbish bin.

  • maimela c

    about the exclusion of benni,i think it open all our mind that a team cannot be formed by a one person, it need cooperation of different ideas,because bernni is being excluded it doesnt mean that we are not going to stand as one nation,as a team and win the world cup,lets not look down to our team,lets be proud of it.we are going to win without benni

  • maimela c

    we are going to win without benni,cooperation will lead us the way.lets not depend on one person.
