a huge problem remains, i think bafana's perfomance will never be consistent untill SAFA takes Football seriously.
a win over Cameroon is nothing big, the bafana std has gone so low that we are forced to celebrate petty wins like thursday's game,agreed, good perfomance but credit still gets individualised,its either modise,pienaar or Mc Carthy, bafana bafana as a team does not have character anymore and its an old issue of development.
i mean, the game has advanced so much that the English,Czhecs,Italians and other african teams can almost give names of their 2018 W/C squads now! because they already have hundreds of potential youngsters whose lifestyles and general development are being closely monitored and moulded into fullon athletes for the future.
SAFA does not care about such initiatives. Money is not a problem at all, Khoza cashes in a minimum of 8mil on a happy day, not profit share> to a**emble a group of young boys and girls and get them programmed on sportsmanship, academics, life oriantation,maybe arts and culture and ENGLISH! and anything that will enhance general development outside the field is not a mission at all.
I stand to be corrected on this but apparently all the serie A and B coaches in Italy are all natives,thats how far we are left behind,forget about the confederations cup cats,the game is more than just talent and hardwork on match day, it involves wise and visionary administartion.
we beat cameroon 3-0 in '96, the likes of Ghana use to get sharp a** whiping on any given day,Mario Zagalo will tell you Brazil had to work hard to pull a win over Bafana , do not even talk about bo Lesotho, Botswana and Zim.
Thursday's win was dope one, but the only way to maintain a winning pattern is to organise a back up system...klaar!
SAFA should stop giving us Pr and advertising player's salaries to get the public to think that they are are doing everything ythey can to restore S.A football pride.
