Siphiwe Tshabalala says he got his wish when Bafana Bafana were paired against Mexico for the opening game of next years Fifa World Cup.
Watching Fridays draw at a live viewing event organised by Bafana sponsors Castle Lager, alongside legend Shaun Bartlett and national assistant coach Helman Mkhalele, Tshabalala was mobbed by fans after SA drew the Mexicans, against whom Shabba thundered in the opening goal when the World Cup was held in this country in 2010.
Its dj vu, Shabba said with a grin, confessing he had wished for a rematch between Mexico who are joint hosts alongside the US and Canada for next years tournament and SA after their 1-1 drawn opener here 15 years ago.
