It'll Be David v Goliath For Banyana Tonight
It will be a battle of David v Goliath tonight as South Africa face Germany in the FIFA Women's World Cup, and Jermaine Seoposenwe is eager for Banyana Banyana to prove their worth.

With Banyana ranked 49th in the world and German sitting second, it is set to be a monumental task for the South Africans in France, but after spirited showings against Spain and China, their 25-year-old attacker – who has almost 80 caps for her country – believes that it's up to them to show the world what they've got in their lockers. Speaking prior to the game at Stade de la Mosson, the Gintra Universitetas star said, "If we can play as hard as we've been playing through this tournament, I think there's a chance of getting a good result. "It's about our tactics - what do we want to do when we have the ball? What do we want to do when we don't have the ball? And sticking to what we're good at. "Sometimes in the games you see us sway away from that, and sometimes we lose concentration… That's the difference between the top teams and the teams that - like us - people presume to be the minnows."

And Seoposenwe, who will be looking to add to her Banyana goals tally, certainly isn't writing them off in Montpellier this evening, saying, "If we can stay focused, work hard, work for each other, then we might be able to shock the world. This team is capable of doing anything." Banyana and Germany lock horns at 18h00 this evening, and as of last night's training session, only Linda Motlhalo - who will have a late fitness test - didn't take part.
