The opening match of the tournament against Cape Verde presents Bafana Bafana with a chance to silence their critics.

Bafana have a 100 per cent record against the 'Blue Sharks', having beaten the islanders 2-1 both times (2006 World Cup qualifiers) they have met in official matches. However, this will be the opening match on home soil and the pressure on the South African team will be high.
