With everything on the line in their crucial FIFA World Cup Group A match against South Korea on Thursday, former Manchester United striker Teddy Sheringham believes Bafana Bafana can still get the job done.

That job, of course, is qualifying for the Round of 32 in the expanded 48-team tournament.

While the draw against Czechia was less than ideal, all is not lost.

Bafana remain bottom of Group A with a goal difference of minus two. They are level on points with Czechia, who have a superior goal difference of minus one. South Korea sit second on three points, while Mexico top the group on six points.
