Bafana Bafana have little room for error, and their coach is well aware of it. Faced with pressure from former South African internationals like McCarthy, Radebe, and others, the coach has decided to play an offensive strategy and focus on scoring goals. For their second match in Group A on this Wednesday, Gordon Igesund is going all-in on the attack, evident in his starting eleven. Four center-forwards are in the lineup: Mahlangu, Phala, Parker, Rantie, Mphela.
However, caution is necessary not to attack too playfully and risk getting caught on the counter. Manucho is eagerly waiting for any mistakes from South Africa to open his account at the CAN 2013.
