@RonakGopaldas Each team gets $11.5M (R190M) for participating in the World Cup. Reaching the knockouts takes it to $13.5M (R222M). Getting to the round of 16 takes it to $17.5M (R288M)
So for the players and staff to share R10M if they beat Canada feels a touch light.
@CraigJimgeorge@CapeTown_Bru Needed Korea to beat Mexico and secure top spot because they would play a weaker team against SA. Korea losing means they will go full strength
Still need a Mexico win in the next game though
Mexico did us a HUGE favour last night.
- Beat Korea and determine our own fate
- Draw Korea and hope Mexico beats Czech Rep
- Lose to Korea and hope Mexico beats Czech by a massive margin
- Mexico and Czech draw is not optimal because of our -2 GD
- Czech wins their game and we're out
Best eight third-placed teams progress*
I see us qualifying for Rd32.

@CapeTown_Bru A draw against Korea would leave SA on 2 points. Very hard to make one of the best top 8 3rd place teams with that.
SA now has to beat Korea and since Korea lost against Mexico, Korea will have to play a full strength side because their qualification is at risk
Not much different to what you typically see from France these days. Limited threat. Lack of any tactical game plan. High press been better I guess
Just waiting on a moment from one of your star players.
