South Africa, meanwhile, are appearing at their fourth World Cup and their first since hosting the competition in 2010. Hugo Broos' men arrive with ambitions of reaching the knockout stages for the first time in their history, though recent form leaves room for concern. Bafana Bafana have failed to win any of their last five matches [LDLDD], a stark contrast to the consistency they showed during qualification. Much of their attacking responsibility could fall on Oswin Appollis, who was directly involved in six goals during qualifying [2G, 4A], twice as many as any of his teammates. Lyle Foster may be seen at the attacking end of a 3—4—2—1 pattern against El Tri. With both sides reporting no injury concerns following their final warm-up fixtures, the stage is set for an intriguing opener.
