Kagisho Dikgacoi believes Bafana Bafana can do the impossible and even pull off a win against co-hosts Mexico in their FIFA World Cup opener on Thursday.
Kick-off is at 9pm at the Estadio Azteca in Mexico City.
The former Bafana player Dikgacoi, who played in the opening match of the FIFA World Cup in South Africa in 2010, believes there is massive potential in the Hugo Broos-coached squad.
The pressure will be on hosts Mexico to deliver all three points as a host nation, and underdogs Bafana can take advantage of that, he believes.
