Brazil Vs. South Africa: The Junior Bafana Look to Repeat Their Upset Victory over Brazil

For Brazil, the agonizing 7-1 World Cup defeat to Germany is still a fresh memory. And they will be looking to put that behind this time around. In regards to soccer, the Olympic stage may not equal the World Cup, but it can offer Solace.

For South Africa, although the Bafana Bafana lost 3-1 to the South American giants at friendly game in March, they will draw confidence from knowing that they have done this before. In 2002, the South Africans stunned the Brazilians when they beat them 3-1.
