What is a National team?

Hello Diskioff readers. South African national team has been doing well lately, even though most games were friendly it's still feel good to be a South African and diski follower, many are wondering about the heading, "What is a national team?" well I'm on this topic because of our performance lately. Ghana were beaten Cameroon were walloped and Nigeria were so lucky to have won that game after they were chasing shadows.

I read comments about Nigeria, Cameroon and Ghana fielding their B team, who is their A team, this is undermining our national team; this guys must just accept defeat and go back to the drawing board. Every time we beat and west African country, there will be talks about fielding a B team, are they expecting to come here and have a picnic in the field and win the game, shame this is not sportsmanship at all, good sports men accept defeat and try to improve.

The recent comments about Cameroon fielding B team got me thinking. What is this now? A national B team, this is discrediting South Africa, we might be doing bad but discrediting us like this? What is their A team? Samuel Eto'o, Jeremy Njitap and Rigobert Song: is this Cameroon's A team? The mentioned players were missing, but I don't think they should have made any different. We have national under 17, 20, 23 and then the senior team, all countries have that. National team is a country's best or trusted players according to people who select them, there is no such thing as a national team B.

Back to the ABSA Premier League - goals had been scored, I think our scoring problem is becoming the thing of the past, goals are banged in week in and out, lot's of goals, count the weekend goals, you will understand what I'm talking about. This is really good, more goals and the attendance at the Stadiums is increasing, and WOW Soweto stadium is out of this World. Some of my friends did not believe that was SA and Soweto. Great stuff indeed. Let's increase the attendance at the stadiums baf'wethu.

Have a Blessed Monday and the rest of the week.
