Bafana Bafana are on the verge of another failure to qualify for an Africa Cup of Nations unless the players and their ill-tempered coach can get their act together.
are fairly simple. Bafana need a win in the return match at Samuel Kanyon Doe Stadium in Monrovia on Tuesday to clinch a place at the Nations Cup in Ivory Coast in June and July.
But Bafana would then rely in Liberia not stunning the Atlas Lions in those teams' final match in Morocco in September and South Africa might need a similar shock result at home to the 2022 World Cup semifinalists to be sure of progressing. This from a group where the expulsion of Zimbabwe left three teams and 67th-ranked Bafana just needing four points against 150th-ranked Liberia to progress.
Enter Friday night's shocker, spurning a two-goal lead from Lyle Foster's brace by the 21st minute in a mistake-plagued, familiarly under-par performance where Bafana's bigger names chose poor options, froze and seemed — again — to simply lack the required motivation.Enter, too, coach Hugo Broos's histrionics.
