Bafana To Settle For Socceroos reject
Kaeryn Baccus eligible to play for South Africa but he is a Socceroo at heart
By Malose Wa Ga Lamola
Kearyn Baccus has been tipped to keep the momentum as Bafana Bafana mentor, Molefi Ntseki, has kept an eye on him and would consider calling him up for national duty in the future.
Unlike other foreign-based players eligible to don national colours, South Africans have watched Baccus play first hand. Baccus is a great footballer with a high work rate.
The Kaizer Chiefs midfield anchor has raised eyebrows when his name was thrown into the hat, due to his Australian connection. The 28-year old was born in South Africa, but his family left for cooler temperatures of Sydney. The 28-year old has only appeared for the Aussies at junior level, allowing him to play for Mzansi.
The Durbanite should not worry about national team colours, since both these nations turn out in green and gold. However, he should have sleepless nights on which country to represent. South Africa is willing to grant him a chance to play for Bafana Bafana.

But the feeling is not mutual between SAFA and the player. Baccus will drop Bafana like a hot potato, should the Socceroos come knocking. He made it clear that he would like to play for the Aussies over Bafana. Home is where the heart is, and Baccus' heart is with Australia.
Bafana is only a rebound, should he not be selected for the Australian national team. Molefi Ntseki has adequate quality in that position to sound so desperate to have Baccus in his squad.

Baccus is Bafana's priority, but Ntseki's side is only an option for him.
