South Africa captain Janine Van Wyk: China means business

South Africa defender Janine Van Wyk believes her side has a chance if they stay compact against China at Parc des Princes on Thursday.

The Women's World Cup debutants recorded a 3-1 defeat to Spain at Stade Oceane last Saturday.

For the Chinese, they will be aiming to forget a loss of their own, the opening 1-0 defeat to Germany in Rennes.

On this account, the Banyana Banyana defender, who is upbeat about their chances, anticipates a tough challenge against the Asians.

“I didn’t really get to watch the game‚ but we know Germany is a tough side to beat," Van Wyk told media.
