It was worrying and tearful to see the host nation South Africa been booted out of the ongoing Afcon 2013 championship.
The
Bafana Bafana of South Africa having not won the title since 1996 lost
1-3 on penalties after a pulsating extra time 1-1 drawn game against the
eagles of Mali played in the quarter-final played in Durban some days
ago.
South Africa touted as one of the favorites’ to upset the
apple cart right did not had it right in their first group opener game
but later silenced critics in their subsequent games.
I believe
there is so much the team put together but Coach Gordon Igesund could
offer to the African and world football in the years to come if
maintained.
All the same let’s pray that although out, South
Africa and its environs would troop into the stadium to catch a glimpse
of other matches so that the tickets do not go down the drain.
