Banyana Banyana will be gunning for glory in Friday’s do-or-die World Cup Group G clash with Argentina.
This after Arsenal legend Ian Wright met up with South Africa coach Desiree Ellis on Wednesday as third-placed Banyana step up their preparations ahead of their Dunedin meeting with the bottom-placed South Americans.
Wright posted a video clip of him hugging the Kaapse coach, with her embracing him and saying: “Even though I’m not an Arsenal fan.”
All the best on Friday vs Argentina Coach 🇿![CDATA[]]>🇦 @descaptain @Banyana_Banyana @FIFAWWC pic.twitter.com/2ehjyPeAqy

Ellis will be hoping Wright’s goalscoring instincts rub off on her players, with SA needing a first-ever World Cup win to avoid early elimination at the group stages, with Banyana going down 2-1 to Sweden and the Albiceleste losing 1-0 to Italy in the first round of fixtures.
