The reason for Bafana Bafana's playing is that the team doesn’t gell together. If we look at our team of 96 with Doctor Khumalo, Mark Fish and Lucas Radebe and compare with the current team there is no doubt who the better side is.
Though the current team has the same amount of talent with players like McCarthy and Pienaar playing in the English Premier League. What we need is a local Coach such as Jomo Sono, Clive Barker or even Gordon Igesund to help get the team playing and working together properly.
One thing that I have noticed about South Africa and other African teams for that matter is we don’t play organized soccer. We don’t switch play we just play small passes which ends up making the whole game get played in the centre.
Egypt is a fine example of a team that does in fact play organized European style football. We need a manager that will play our youth players and make a good mix of experience and youth to play in 2010.
We must realise that players like McCarthy and Zuma will be old by 2010 and we need to focus on players like Bernard Parker and Bryce Moon etc... 2010 captain should NOT be Aaron Mokoena. We should use someone like Teko Modise.
Even though we do not always win I will always support my country!
BAFANA BAFANA TILL I DIE!
ps: the name "Bafana" should not change...they are our boys!!
