As
I type this, I recall the Movie “Rocky 4” - when Rocky came out of the corner
on Round 15, Ivan Drago also dead tired… in the back, you hear the commentator
as if he was fighting himself, his voice came out as someone who was had just
seen war… broke out in fatigue voice saying. “This is the last round!!!!”
What
a weekend from the soccer front as a whole… I know the major topic is obviously
the talk of Manchester… what a finish! Now getting on the regular program, Bloemfontein
Celtic took a surprising lead, left the crowd stunned… Moroka Swallows still in
it…
Two horse race... mathematics
as they stand
- Pirates wins: They win… they win the
league (simple)
- Pirates Lose: They pray for a Swallows
draw or a loss
- Swallows win/Pirates lose… Swallows win the
league (GD in play of 1)
AmaZulu and Ajax Cape
Town for the Top 8 race
As
it stands, AmaZulu wins… they claim the number 8 spot.
Relegation – Survival
of the smartest
Jomo
Cosmos is not officially relegated yet; Wednesday will be more clearer as if
Black Leopards wins it will confirm relegation for Cosmos and Play Offs for
Santos.
Exciting finish
ahead…
I
am looking at the fall of Mamelodi Sundowns from the podium when they looked clear
favourites… the 6 or 7 draws since half way mark has let them down… considering
that they are now level on points with Kaizer Chiefs who had a dismal run of
form lately when they lost 3 in a row.
Last
season far better in terms of goals scored than this one… this season will be
remembered for the inconsistency of all teams.
