Eleven Games Unbeaten but how Challenging Were They

Ever since narrow defeats to Norway and Iceland back in October 09, Carlos Parreiras men have been unbeatable. Whilst this may considerably increase morale in the South African camp, it must be taken into account that the quality of their Marco Belinelli Jersey opposition has hardly been world cla s; in fact it has been quite the opposite. Actually, their failure to beat some of the sides faced has been quite startling, something which the Bafana Bafana must Keldon Johnson Jersey addre s before the World Cup opener against Mexico.Most worrying is their inability to score goals, especially in the first three games of this unbeaten stretch. Even the dangerman Mphela couldnt find the net against Jamaica or North Korea supposedly the weakest side in the event although it must be said that Japan posed a much stronger threat. However, following this South Africa have proved much more fluent in front of goal. Two second-half strikes were enough to see off Jamaica in their second friendly, before they let loose against Thailand Mphela finding the net twice in a 4- David Robinson Jersey 0 victory. Comfortable victories against Swaziland, Namibia, and Zimbabwe ensued, before South Africa faced their first real test.South Africas 2-1 victory over Colombia was perhaps their most significant victoryWhen Bulgaria visitedJohannesburg, it almost seemed like a test of the Bafana Bafanas World Cup credentials. And South Africa didnt fail, holding the Eastern Europeans to a respectable 1-1 draw. Two disputable penalties Drew Eubanks Jersey helped them to beat Colombia 2-1 showing their ability to compete with South American sides before they comfortably saw off Guatemala 5-0, a game which saw Aaron Mokoena become the first South African to pick up 100 caps. South Africa face one more test against Denmark on June 5th, and if they come through that unscathed then who knows what could happen come June 10th? A twelve match unbeaten stretch would certainly maintain Dejounte Murray Jersey their confidence.
