South Africa vs Norway. Can South Africa beat Norway on Saturday? I think Bafana Bafana fans, who are a pretty optimistic bunch, already have this sick feeling in their stomach because they know what another loss will mean to the morale of their team.
2010 FIFA World Cup – Norway Didn’t Qualify
Now, Norway hasn’t qualified for the 2010 FIFA World Cup and South Africa, who is losing all its matches has qualified automatically as the host of the World Cup – there is a bit of pride at stake in this South Africa vs Norway friendly
According to 365.co.za the Brazilian Coach Joel Santana hedged his bets about the friendly international match against Norway on Saturday: “We have met them before and we beat them and in that match I think South Africa played some exciting football. Now we meet again, and we are preparing for the World Cup, so we might win or lose, but I said to my players we need to play beautiful football with a lot of discipline.”
Joel Santana – Beautiful Soccer
If I were Joel Santana’s employers who are paying him over a million rands a month, I don’t know if I would be happy with that answer. I am sure they do not pay him to coach Bafana Bafana to play “beautiful soccer” – we want our boys to win!
“You have to remember that I come from a country that has won the World Cup five times and provided some of the world’s best players. I am here to make South Africa play like Brazil. That’s the reason why South Africa appointed a Brazilian to train their team.” Santana concluded
