The time for planning and permutations is over. The FIFA World Cup is here, and in the sporting religion of football, the purest form of devotion is belief.
We need to believe in Bafana Bafana. In Hugo Broos. And in South Africa. We need to believe that we are good enough to be at the World Cup.
Bafana qualified on merit; they deserve to be there. Even after being docked three points during qualifying due to an administrative error, Bafana still went on to finish top of their group and book their World Cup ticket.
That alone was a monumental feat.
