	African Football News
		As I had noted earlier on in one of my previous articles "Focus On 2004 African Nations Cup", small African teams possess lots of potential and as some have demonstrated that, it shows that football is improving on the continent.
		Guinea who missed the last nations cup finals in 2002 after FIFA expelled them due to political interference in football, played their group mathces with much experience and they are a team to watch in the competition.
		This year's nation's cup has taken a different turn after the quarter final stage as most of Africa's big guns or highly fancied teams which were earlier on touted to win the tournament have been kicked out.

		The African Nations Cup had to be seen against the backdrop of what the South African Football fraternity had strived for because of the archaic apartheid policies, resulting in our isolation in sport.

	African Nations Cup: uphill for SA - SouthAfrica.info
		Bafana Bafana first qualified for the African Nations Cup in 1996, following South Africa's readmission to international soccer in 1992, and has qualified for all the subsequent tournaments: Burkina Faso 1998 (won by Egypt), Ghana-Nigeria 2000 (won by Cameroon), Mali 2002 (won by Cameroon again), and Tunisia 2004.
		South Africa's national soccer squad, Bafana Bafana, will face a tough task getting through to the knockout stages of the 24th African Cup of Nations taking place in Tunisia from 24 January to 14 February 2004.
		A worrying situation for South African soccer fans, and for coach Mashaba, who may have to rely on Bafana Bafana's determination and courage in the face of better prepared and organised opposition.

		Medal winners in their three Nations' Cup appearances (beginning with their Cup triumph in 1996) the Bafana Bafana will be looking to start their World Cup year on the right foot by again contending for Africa's biggest prize.
		In Ghana, Morocco and Burkina Faso, the South Africans will be facing teams capable of putting them out to pasture, if they are not at the top of their game.
		Still, if there is a team that has the wherewithal to replace such players, it is the South Africans, who typically do the best job among the African teams of grooming and seasoning rising internationals.

	Post African Cup of Nations - 2000
		I think South Africa was truly blessed to have both won the 1996 African Cup of Nations Tournament and then qualified for the World Cup at their first attempts - daunting tasks!
		In 1996 there were the two work-horses, Linda Buthelezi and Eric Tinkler, the flair and brilliance of a younger John 'Shoes' Moshoeu, and the most talented of all South African players, Dr Khumalo.
		This World Cup Qualifying period is going to be SAFA's Waterloo, and the way Bafana Bafana are playing and the unpredictability of the playing conditions and teams in Africa make it a Lottery!

	Sports : THE BIG MATCH: Eagles, Bafana entertain at Ellis Park
		There was too much talk of South Africa only winning the African Nations Cup in 1996 because the Eagles were not there, for the South Africans not to invest everything they have into this particular match at Ellis Park.
		The Bafana Bafana, who won the African Nations Cup in their very first appearance in 1996, beating Tunisia 2-0 in the Final, have played at the last two World Cup finals.
		Before then, there was national hysteria when it was revealed that Bid chiefs Irvin Khoza, Danny Jordaan and Molefi Oliphant were to be paid the sum of $1.2 million each for the successful campaign to bring World Cup 2010 to the âRainbow Nationâ.

	Soccer: the people's passion - SouthAfrica.info
		A year before Bafana Bafana's success in the 1996 African Cup of Nations, Orlando Pirates showed what the addition of South Africa to the international ranks meant when they broke North Africa's stranglehold on African club competition.
		The Buccaneers became the first club south of the equator to win the African Club of Champions competition - at their first attempt - and followed that up with the African Super Cup in 1996.
		It was a great achievement, and as the entire country had celebrated South Africa's Rugby World Cup triumph the year before, so the entire country celebrated the success of the national soccer side.
