This is probably the last time one writes about the Confederations Cup. This tournament has proved beyond any reasonable doubt that South Africa is more than capable of hosting the biggest sporting event, the FIFA World Cup.
he doubting Thomases here and abroad, have been made to eat ample pies. Talk of plan A and B must be put to bed now.
We should not be carried away by the the success of hosting the Confederation Cup, we need to rectify the glitches around park and ride, crime and playing fields.
Reports coming from England are that one of South Africa's favourite sons, midfield maestro, Teko Modise, pictured, is on the verge of signing for Wigan Attletic. Unconfirmed reports have put the transfer figure from Orlando Pirates at around R10 million.
An overseas move for him is long overdue. For two season, he has played his heart out, and really deserves this break.
I don't think Teko's our only player who will be snapped up by scouts. I wouldn't be surprised if Bafana's interpid goal-scorer Katlego Mphela and goal-preventer Itumeleng Khune make announcements any time soon.
ReplyDeleteSA is not just any third world country, it's a state rich in talent and capability. 2010 here we come. Teko deserves to play abroad... he's proven himself as a fabulous footballer.
