Quotes We have to admit that we are couple of steps back in terms of development and South Africa can learn a lot from countries like Argentina particularly in football Teams regardless of the talent they have they still had to play games to qualify like everyone. The teams that have qualified deserve to be here. Teams who found the going tough during the qualifying stages are always very dangerous as well. I was lucky to grow up in a family where there were lot of stories told about the derby and at an early age I had an idea what it meant every time the two teams met. The fans would spew; throw insults at you as you enter the pitch. It was quite intimidating as a young player. You are not allowed as a player to talk to anyone, no greetings...it was always tense. On the field, it was always war!
