Not had very many of them recently, and not the biggest fan of international football, but both South Africa and England are on their way to North America for next year’s World Cup.
England’s progression was a bit of a foregone conclusion, but Bafana Bafana needed to put last week’s rubbish performance behind them and win, and hope that Nigeria did the business over Benin.
All the things happened, all the stars aligned, and so it was a good night for the football.
