So Mexico is kinda lacking when it comes to hot players – this is good news, as it leaves us to focus on our boys instead! You might be thinking that Bafana has Matthew Booth and that’s about it… but there are a few hotties worth watching on Friday…
Lance Davids – #7
Lance Davids
Look at that gorgeous face – he is just adorable! Lance plays midfield, and wears the #7 top. At 25 he’s just a baby, but having been discovered by former Bafana Bafana coach Stuart Baxter in 2004 at the age of just 18, he’s had plenty of experience. Watch him because… that smile has dimples, I am sure of it!
MacBeth Sibaya – #6
MacBeth Sibaya
MacBeth is now my new favourite name, I wish I had thought of that when I got my kitten! Also, he has killer dreads and a cool attitude. MacBeth made his debut for for the national team nine years ago in a FIFA World Cup™ qualifier against Malawi. Watch him because… he looks like he would be fun to party with!
Teko Modise – #11
Teko Modise
Ok, maybe he’s not quite a Ronaldo or the French god… but our boy Teko is one of Bafana’s hottest players, and he is going to be one to watch throughout the World Cup. Despite falling out of grace during the Confed Cup, he is still a brilliant player, and hopefully the SWC will bring him back to glory once again! Watch him because… he is one of the top players on the squad.
Matthew Booth – #14
Mathew Booth
There’s no way you will miss this defender on the field – firstly, he’s the only white guy on the team, secondly he’s huge and thirdly, he plays defense. Much-loved by every South African, Booth is the boy wonder who is bringing the team much-needed energy and oomph. Watch him because… he’s going to stop the other guys from scoring!
Anele Ngongca – #5
Anele Ngcongca
Another defender, Anele is one of the team’s important players – keeping the other team from scoring and tackling to the death. At only 22, he is a bit of a ‘mystery man’ but has slowly shown his potential to be a national team gem with talent and composure. Watch him because… he’s going to kick ass and take names (and also, he looks like Simon Webb from Blue, kinda, hehe).
Well, I know who MY favourite favourite is… who is yours?
