Bafana Bafana midfielder Kagisho Dikgacoi is hoping to bring his club form to the national team should he be selected for the away crucial World Cup qualifiers against  Central African Republic (CAR) and Ethiopia next month.

The big midfielder was in a splendid form on Monday night ((13 May 2013) when he helped his Crystal Palace side to a 2-0 victory over Brighton to reach the Championship final where they will face Watford at Wembley Stadium on 27 May. The winners will be promoted into the English Premiership, meaning if all goes well he might be just 90 minutes away from realising his dream.

“I must admit this has been my best season since coming to England. I have played over 40 games for Crystal Palace and I must admit I am a very happy man. I hope that next season, irrespective of where we finish in the league, I will play just as much,” said Dikgacoi from England.

“I also hope the form I am in, I will be able to bring it to the Bafana squad that is if I am fortunate to be selected for the forthcoming matches. 

“But what I need urgently after a long season is a bit of a break to see my family before I join the team in camp. I hope by that time Palace would have clinched a Premier League spot so I can bring the excitement to the national team.”

The midfield strongman is excited about playing at Wembley.

“Playing at that wonderful venue is a huge occasion for me as it will be for the first time I play at that magnificent stage. Most big matches are played at Wembley which goes to show the importance of the venue.

“I am excited about playing there and hope things go our way. We are playing a really good team in Watford, perhaps one of the most difficult sides to play against in the First Division. We have played them before and drew 2-2; so we have to double our efforts to beat them to the finishing line,” said Dikgacoi.

“We need a good game plan to stop them. We have about two weeks to the match so we will be well-rested when we get to the final and hope to give a good account of ourselves.”

Not only was the Bafana Bafana midfielder in sublime form the entire evening but he capped a good evening by creating a second goal that completely took the fighting off Brighton.

“We were expecting a tough match and we really got a good encounter. We were aware it could go either way having drawn the first leg 0-0 at home but we had no pressure as we went in as underdogs. 

“But now we should not get carried away because we still have a job to do. We wanted to get automatic qualification but we dropped off the race in the closing stages. Now that we are back in contention, we need to make the best of it because we should have wrapped it much earlier,” concluded Dikgacoi
