Bafana Bafana qualify for Afcon, but is this really an achievement?
--:--
Bafana Bafana beat Liberia on Tuesday in Monrovia to make it to the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations finals, Hugo Broos' side qualifying in the end with a game to spare for the tournament in the Ivory Coast in January.
Hugo Broos' side, however, made heavy weather of getting past Liberia, both at Orlando Stadium on Friday, where the teams drew 2-2, and on Tuesday in Liberia, where they ended up as narrow 2-1 winners.
Bafana have at least qualified, but in this week's Ballz to the Wall Podcast, Phakaaathi editor Jonty Mark, and football writers Sibongiseni Gumbi and Tshepo Ntsoelengoe give their views on exactly what happened over the past week or so.
Broos has now said we can 'kill' him if Bafana don't make it to the knockout rounds at the Africa Cup of Nations finals, but as 16 teams will do this in a 24-team tournament, is even this actually an achievement?
