🔔🏟️📢 Mexico & South Africa TEAM NEWS:
Mexico 🇲🇽 vs South Africa 🇿🇦: Jimenez 🔥 vs Foster ⚡ — 16 Years After Tshabalala's Iconic Goal 🎯, The Same Two Teams Open The World Cup Again ❗️
In 2010, Bafana Bafana were the hosts, the vuvuzelas were everywhere, and Tshabalala’s strike produced one of the most iconic moments in World Cup history.
This time, the script has flipped.
Mexico are hosting, more than 80,000 supporters will fill the Estadio Azteca, and South Africa are returning to the World Cup for the first time since 2010.
Mexico are unbeaten in eight matches and have won their last three, while Bafana Bafana arrive without a win in their last four friendlies.
So yes, South Africa will need discipline, confidence and perhaps a little Tshabalala magic from somewhere. 😅
Can Bafana spoil Mexico’s opening-night party, or will the hosts start the tournament with a statement?
