Bafana draws opener

Not a bad start in the Group Of Death (GOD – strange that).

All the teams in the group now sit on a single point and at least we are not bringing up the rear in the group.

I watched majority of the match but just missed the goal. The main problem that I found when watching was not the team, the feeding of the ball in to the goal box, the defense, passing, keeping or basics. Our problem is scoring goals. This might sound fairly obvious but it’s not.

Every great team features a great goal scorer. Maradona, Pele, Cantona and the like. We have or had Benny but he’s not with us anymore. What a pity because it seems to me that we just cannot manage to score when the opportunity arises.

Players scrabble for a shot, rebound or anything we can get our hands on to. If only we could just put it in the back of the net.

A positive start and a start nonetheless. Let’s hope we can build on the performance.
