LISTEN: Good and bad draws for Bafana Bafana

Hugo Broos’ Bafana Bafana picked up a confidence-boosting 1-1 draw with the Ivory Coast on Tuesday in Abidjan, the passion and fight contrasting with their insipid goalless draw with Swaziland on Friday, even if the result was the same.

There are good draws and bad draws in the world of football, and Abidjan was definitely on the good side, as was another sort of draw, the one Bafana got for the Africa Cup of Nations finals, which will be held in the Ivory Coast early next year


In this week’s Ballz to the Wall podcast, Phakaaathi editor Jonty Mark, along with football writer Sibongsieni Gumbi, discusses an up-and-down week of international football for Bafana Bafana.
