So, I will work as hard as I have worked over the past five years to have a team at the World Cup that gets good results.[/b][/p][p][b]“So, there is still a lot of work to do. And I don’t have the time to think about, yeah, will I go or will I stay?”[/b][/p][p]Bafana will face co-hosts Mexico, [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/team/south-korea/K6Gs7P6G/"]South Korea[/a] and either [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/team/denmark/0KUdxQVi/"]Denmark[/a] or the [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/team/czech-republic/6LHwBDGU/"]Czech Republic[/a] in Group A at the global finals.[/p][p]They face Mexico in the tournament opener at the Azteca Stadium on June 11.[/p]
