There is no love lost after South Africa and Ghana's World Cup row.

The Afcon kicks off tomorrow and as you know, South Africa are not part of it, after failing to qualify under former head coach Molefi Ntseki. I must say, those sentiments really did hit home. I mean, the local league is basically paused until after the tournament, leaving some idle until mid-February when the DStv Premiership resumes.

We can argue that losing out on a potential trip to Qatar later this year was not down to the lack of our football capabilities, given how – dare I say – Bafana were robbed in both ties against Ghana. The first saw a legitimate Percy Tau goal ruled out because of a wrong offside call, and the second match saw poor officiating. The matter of the officiating was escalated to Fifa by the South African Football Association, but still resulted in an unfavorable outcome for Bafana.
