World with Benni

Well South African prodigal son Benni McCarthy has strolled back into the national football side and promptly lifted the side’s game without trying particularly hard. Benni was instrumental in the credible 2-2 draw with Australia in London on Tuesday.

For those who don’t know the story, Benni basically turned into something of a grumpy boy as people questioned his position on the whole club vs. country debate.

No Benni = a very average Bafana Bafana side.

McCarthy suddenly got back in the side and we’re competing with a top ranked side like Australia.

His 2 touches to setup the goal prove just how classy he is and just how easy it is for him to play at this level.

He has now committed himself to the national side for the duration of the campaign up to the 2010 World Cup, lets just hope he now stays fit for that time!
