Bafana continue losing run

Circus!!!Circus, I just think South Africans will faint and need a Therapy the day they win against this no so good countries, who play a dodgy game but ending up winning because they playing Bafana fumble

Last night's game rose to the expectation although one can stiil question the level of committment by players like Modise who made casual kicks at the goal post. Could it be that some players are colluding with those who are calling for the head os Santana

eissssssch!!!! not good. actually terrible. something is definitely not being done correctly????
coach or players.... sometimes the players think that they are tooo good and that they can win games without listening to coaches !!!! sometimes the coaches can't read the game

Oh modimo wa me ,we dont have players willing to die for their country....Santana or not ,Bafana players are dissappointing(substandard), not to mention our Captain Mr Mokoena ,I cant believe he still the CAPTAIN ,if this was cricket or rugby Mokoena could have been long dropped for his own benefit...

Close to 50% of the players do not deserve to be in the Bafana Bafana team. Players like Modise and Khanyeza may be good for their respctive teams but their are not Bafana Bafana's assest. Modise plays negetive football he always wants to collect ball from his team mates' feet than opening a space to be pass the ball and this is not working in international football, hence I doubt his chances of securing a contract with europeans' teams.

Nematandani said he would wait for the report of the three assessors (wise men), Clive Barker, Jomo Sono and Gavin Hunt after the Jamaica friendly.


Jomo sono has nothing to offer south african soccer, when it comes to coaching he belong in the dustbin of History. He was a great player during his time but surely, that does not qualify him to be the best coach, sono has never achieved anything in his coaching career except fighting relegation successfully season after season.
The man cannot even assess his own team, which at the present moment, is facing relegation, maybe Gavin, considering the Perfomance of his team, may do a little better and as for Barker, they must just leave the old Man in retirement.

The problem is not with Santana but the sickening attitute of SA players. Most of our local players' dream is just to appear on TV so that they can get many girls and once they get to appear on TV they forget about playing football and go around the townships showing off their newly aquired machines and getting more and more girls.

Our current crop of players are just not ready for the world football. they are just egoestical and nothing else.

Firing Santana is not the solution.

Untill we get players with the right kind attitute, we can forget about winning anything under the sun.

The safa leadership mustjust bring back Shakes Mashaba. he is the only coach who can take us foward.
He played the best football and he won many games when he was still a national and the under 23 coach but, the powers that be, got bored of his winning ways and fired him.

NEMATANDANI IF YOU REALLY CARE ABOUT THE SA SOCCER YOU NEED TO BRING BACK SHAKES MASHABA AS THE HEAD COACH.

Well guys my stand is let us boycott the last three games interms of watching the games as for SAFA let us do the damn elections again,the Minister of Sports & Recreation must intervene last Hamba Santana!! Go Santana & Mokoena finish and klaar.

may i declare my ignorance of yesterday's game as i have long stopped to watch our football matches.

one of my staunchest standpoints is that south africa should not win soccer games because of how low our standards are. and the main ingredient in my argument is the collective understanding of the game, from spectators, the media and worse still, our so-called football players. they know their skins are safe from the axe because the coaches will be fired instead of them. they also collude with their agents and the media for playing and this lobby is the next biggest scandal around the world. now, even as our players keep up with their peers in their underhandedness, they are not doing so on their careers. the likes of modise are astronimically overrated. against a gem like felipe mello of brazil, he was almost invisible. nowhere to be found. he is technically naive and this must anger any coach who will express it to him and in return, they collude to get the coach fired. speculation? yes, but credible!

calling for the coaches head this close to the world cup will again take us back to 98 where we fired barker. i must say i am amazed he has agreed to do this to a fellow coach. in fact, with jomo, i expected it. not gavin. a man i have met several times on some golf courses. i am disappointed. what is the terms of reference of these guys? has jomo ever graduated with coaching badges? if so which levels has he got? the same goes for clive? they have let themselves be used as pawns in a game of brinkmanship by safa.

what is the weight or significance of losing a friendly game? what do we think is the purpose of these friendly games? or should i be suprised coming from a country where an insignificant pre-season tournament pays significant money to the winners? are we that stupid?

Employing big nose santana will remain moemish of the century. This big nose man claimed that we lost because we were playing against the best teams in the world, he even refered the nation to the fifa rankings.Is Iceland the best team while they are ranked at 96?This moron can not motivate players and therefore he must just pack and go. Nematandani is becoming a lame duck president now, he made a lot of noise before coming into power. Why do not he act and fire this moemish? Let us not let this clown pull our players down, I personally trust our players that they can compete they just need a motivator.

whether players are ready to die on the pitch or not its another story, but Santana still has to go, no doubt about that. I was absolutely shocked to learn that this man is being paid 1.8 million rands a month yet no postive results have been forthcoming. I think SAFA should take this situation seriously if they want to progress further during W/Cup Tournament. As for players, they are just not physically fit, let alone mentally and otherwise. For every poor perfomance, players who are responsible for negative results should be fined or walk away from the squad.

Why not just take the 1.8 million Santana is earning. We employ no coach and let these players share this money amongst themselves.....

By doing this there won't be strikes right before significant tournaments. Secondly the players, SAFA, the media won't blame the coach for their weakness.

Have we ever asked ourselves why our so called superstars are not trading/playing for super teams with other super players/stars.

Santana inherited a second stream national team which doesnt have guts, skill and mentality needed to compete amongst the best...Our current best player and striker (Benni) is sidelined from the Bafana, yet we lack goals and finishing...Howcome ?

Firing him wont change a thing...Our players are good but just not good enough...The sooner we accept this the least we going to get disappointed during the World Cup....

Keep Santa, bring back Benni and Nassief Moriss....

Bull Crap

I am also one of those who would rather think about Manchester United Next game that watch Those Bafana Playing and embarassing the whole country. I think we should not attend all the home games that are scheduled for Next month, so that the Whole SAFA people can see how serious are we about our contry and the beautiful game. Even the players that we have are not national materials so we should just select a new team all together.

As for Jomo and company they should just stay where they are with their teams as they will bring no solution but more trouble for us.

It's very disapoiting to see the way our own national team continue going down the drain. We are approaching World Cup in feww months less than a year from now. We are not promising: we always lose or we take draws if we will it just for the shot excitment. Above that our coach keeps on saying 'I am proud of my players, they are improving game after game'. No they are not improving, what is it that aroan mokoena has to be selected as our central defender cos there are other better defenders in South Africa who can take the position.

We are so pleased with the decision of SAFA to elect Jomo Sono, Clive Barker and Gavin Hunt to detect the problem with our national soccer team: But my worry is this Santana being kept, why they dont let him go, it about time now otherwise they will lose fans.

If they believe Sono, barker and hut can detect problem what can be the problem in hiring one of them to coach Bafana Bafana? There the like of Lucas Radebe, Phil Masinga, and any other people who understand South Africa Soccer. I think we should do it local now, we have tried other people's tyles of playing it doesnt work for us maybe now we should get back to our local style of playing. LETS GET AWAY WITH FOREIGN COACHES-They dont have love for South African play. If it was their country they would be ashamed and disapointed to see the team doing like Bafana Bafana is doing recently.

And the other important thing is that SAFA must not by any mistake, purpose and intention do the selection of Players, the coach and assistant coach or sometime with the technical coach/director must do the selection of players: SAFA STAY AWAY FROM TEAM SELECTION
