Gordon Igesund has named an exciting, yet experienced squad to face the World Champions come 19 November in South Africa! I am busy looking at flights and sorting my media accreditation for the game and can’t wait to see Bafana up against some of the World’s best.
The National coaches son is a close mate and he has told me that Spain will be bringing their big guns, and will be taking the game very seriously in preparation for the 2014 FIFA World Cup in Brazil. One they hope to regain after claiming the title on our shores in 2010!
