SAFA embarrassed the nation

SAFA is simple exposing their foolishness further and the sad part is that their action is also embarrassing the nation.

To quote SAFA president and its CEO, “We are of the opinion that this particular rule should be thrown out because it defeats the traditional way of determining a log standing."

This statement suggest SAFA honchos do not know what they are talking about, firstly, the CAF rule in Article 14.01 is and has always been FIFA’s traditional way of determining the log.

Maybe it will enlighten them to also read UEFA’s Euro 2012 Regulations, specifically Article 7.04 which is identical to CAF’s Article 14.1 secondly, SAFA leaders need to know that if Premier Soccer League’s traditional way of establishing the log is based on goal difference it doesn’t necessarily mean that it is a universally applied rule and lastly I think SAFA is currently headed by people who do not have even a little atom of a football brain cell.

Minister Mbalula please SOS by throwing out this Nematendani led leadership.
