Bad day at the office for SA women’s teams
With some serious beatings by their respective opponents, the two national sides showed that there’s still a lot of ground to cover before they are on par with their top-rated counterparts.
Ironically, Banyana will be in New Zealand or Australia in eight months for the Fifa Women’s World Cup.Their game yesterday was part of their build-up to the global championship that will be co-hosted by the Oceania nations from July 20 to August 20.
The proof is in how they meekly lost to Brazil last month, when they went down 9-0 on aggregate over two friendly matches. To its credit, Safa has been able to secure high-profile opponents for Banyana. Hopefully the team is using its defeats to toughen up and will come out a better version of itself by the time the World Cup starts.Ellis said the positives which came out of the match against Australia was testing new players: “This a process. We played three games in two [Fifa international] windows. The World Cup is not tomorrow. We need to minimise the mistakes.
