South Africa are worried ahead of the commencement of the 2022 World Cup qualifiers after they were pitted against Zimbabwe, Ethiopia and Ghana.
Writing for Sowetan Live, Gomolemo Motshwane identifies Kaizer Chiefs winger Khama Billiat as Zimbabwe’s star man. He writes:
Zimbabwe are very familiar with SA football as many of their players ply their trade in the PSL.
The likes of Khama Billiat, Talent Chawaphiwa and Ronald Pfumbidzai are based in the country and will know SA players well.
Others who are based in Europe including Knowledge Musona, Marshall Munetsi and Teenage Hadebe have played in the PSL and many of them will be facing their former teammates in Bafana.
The Ethiopians have been dismissed as undergoes who have ” been struggling over the past few years and failed to qualify for the 2019 Afcon in Egypt after finishing third in Group F of the qualifiers with one point”.
Ghana are “going through a rebuilding phase” after the end of the Black Stars’ “Golden Generation”.
