Johannesburg - Former Bafana Bafana captain, Lucas Radebe says South Africa are set to beat Nigeria in this weekend's 2010 Nations/World Cup qualifier.
The 39-year-old told Brilafm.net that the current squad know they must beat familiar foes Nigeria to enhance their chances of qualification for Angola 2010, and it's a mission that must be accomplished in Port Elizabeth this Saturday.
"It's going to be tough, it's going to be hard, but we have to beat them. We just have to beat Nigeria to settle the score.
"If you beat Nigeria, it's like you have beaten the whole of Africa, and that's what we intend to do," the former Leeds United player declared.
Radebe declared further that he reckons Bafana Bafana have been dilly dallying and unconvincing under their new Brazilian coach, Joel Santana, but maintains that a win against Nigeria will put them in good stead ahead of hosting the 2010 World Cup.
