⛽️The timing of the World Cup presents a real challenge for Bafana Bafana.
Sundowns players are arriving off a gruelling season with heavy minutes in their legs, and fatigue could seriously hamper their ability to match the intensity that the World Cup stage demands.
On the other hand, players from the newly crowned PSL Champions [Orlando Pirates] bring fresh legs but largely lack the international experience needed at this level.
The spine of this squad is built around Pirates and Sundowns players, which means the balance between freshness and experience is delicate. There is hope that the Pirates players rises to the moment, with Relebohile Mofokeng being the one many will have their eyes on.
Unfortunately, resting the Sundowns players further is not a luxury we can afford, as we need to prepare the team for the opening match.
A handful of new faces have been brought in to bolster the squad, but the reality is that there is very little time to integrate them meaningfully into the system. Time, more than anything, is the biggest enemy right now.
