As long as we still looking outward, some international coaches and players, to better our team, then we are deserving of what we get. We need to look inward and throw out the old men running the game and replace them with a body that will start to build on South African Soccer. We are not Brazil nor European, but South Africans. If we do not understand that, who will? I am depressed by these vulture coaches and foreign or local international players who fleece and leech us with nothing to show for it. We need something better than this sham and farce. I am looking forward to see a South African bred and produced soccer players and soccer scene. What is happening now is obscene and wrong. Lest we forget, we once were a great soccer playing giant and no one can dispute that. We still are, if and when we re-screw our heads and national pride anew. This is vexing!

the only brazilian dream team that could save bafana is if south africa gave a bunch of highly-rated brazilian footballers south african citizenship and let them start.

otherwise, no.

bafana: pretty useless [with or without mccarthy, fwiw — if your ‘best’ striker is a benchwarmer for a mid-table premiership team… you really don’t have much hope.]
