WEDNESDAY, 11.00AM:
THE SA Football Association has given up trying to meet its Zairean counterpart to discuss the threatened Zairean withdrawal from the World Cup because of financial problems.
Safa boss Danny Jordaan said every effort had been made to contact the Zaireans, but to no avail. It would now be up to Zaire to contact Safa, he said.
“It is them who have problems, and we are not going to worry ourselves any more. Our concentration will now be shifted to our remaining matches,” said Jordaan.
