Mokoena disappointed in defeat

Posted: 2009-09-09 00:08

Bafana Bafana skipper Aaron Mokoena expressed his disappointment at the 1-0 loss to a weakened Republic of Ireland side in an international friendly on Tuesday, bemoaning a lack of cutting edge from his team.

South Africa had 68 percent of the possession in the match in Limerick, yet home goalkeeper Keiren Westwood was not forced into one meaningful save in the match.

“We had lots of possession, so from that point of view it is disappointing for us not to get anything from the game,” Mokoena says. “It’s a good thing that we controlled the game tonight, even more so given the changes we have made on this trip, we just could not score.”

The skipper says the team is not too concerned at having recorded a record sixth straight defeat.

“It does not affect the players at all, of course it is disappointing not to win games, but it is about building towards the World Cup.”

When asked whether the coach should consider bringing Benni McCarthy back into the fold, Mokoena was not prepared to answer.

“I think that is a question for the coach,” he said.

kago: 2009-09-09 01:51

ok,patient buildups,short passes n al that but only 1 thing missing,crosing da ball over da goal line btwn da posts of coz,who takes that responsibility? NO 1.. BB is always defending n easy 2 crack. the Irish(they dnt crack n at da same time taking their chances)were so defensive 2..y not do da same atlst? learn that atleast..

kago: 2009-09-09 02:01

how do you play 2 DMs in that kind of game,thats delaying attaks coz everytime they get the ball they play it back.
if at all it was allowed 2 play 2 goalkeepers BB would b using 2:5:3:1 formation
2 GKs,5 Ds, 3 DMs n 1 S with no attack @ ol

footy: 2009-09-09 03:37

iv never seen a game won because of having more possession than the oppentents last time i read the rules scoring a goal is the actuall aim of playing soccer...

KGOPAS : 2009-09-09 04:35

Aaron recently said we are still learning but i say we are only learning losing tactics from satan,pitso,leal=hell.

Wonder : 2009-09-09 05:38

Bafana did nt play badly at all, we jst need to be more agressive in the final third.

kemp : 2009-09-09 05:57

m sick n tired of dis 'we played well n we r still learning'...Ball position dnt win games,bt m sho satan is happy coz we lost 1-0 n we played very well..ha ha!

bobo: 2009-09-09 06:35

Wena so called SAFA wats wrong wth yo head, 1. did Benni killed smbody or yo rlative? 2. Did Benni waz hving an affair wth yo lovers? 3. Did Benni stl smthin 4rm yo pocket? If not why lvn us to hv heart attack evrytm im jst 4rm th hosptal after th 6six luz. Plz bring mcathy back w need golz not entertainment!! Santana u wl b blamed as long as no1 is hlpn u to score golz, Benni cn hlp u on dat.

bobo: 2009-09-09 06:43

Santana plz come and get ma ticket for 2010, coz you might endup watchn Bafana on Brazilian Television i dnt knw hw r u goin to coach them through th screen, Santana jst blv me man prepare yo visa yo are on yo way bck next month.

Livhuwani: 2009-09-09 07:07

yoh yoh wat a bad game? it was may first game to see bafana playing 83% ball possesion with lreland (17%).but lossing again I dont see bafana bafana winning any game for know a till 2012.

Khanyi : 2009-09-09 07:12

Shakes Mashaba must b recalled so as Benny Mabizèla and give Ferreira a chance 2 play 4 bafana so as Morris I dont think that Gould and Khumalo a ready 4 bafana yet

maj : 2009-09-09 07:16

i wonder what they r learning.bt it doesn't look like they r learning to score goals and win games

thulane: 2009-09-09 07:23

Tough luck my boys, worry not our time will come (Proudly South African)....People we really do need uBenny finish and klaar.

Edwin: 2009-09-09 07:35

Santana you have made enough money now you can go back to Brasil and enjoy the money,actually you and your assistants, I wonder what does Pitso do in this situation, he must leave too, Period

Papas: 2009-09-09 07:37

Mokoena?? U kick opponents unnecessarily, it is going to cost us & why do they keep on playing you on that position while at your club you play in midfield it beats me.

Santana? please please please stop playing Mhlongo with Kagiso, they are like water & oil.

One more thing when I saw the line-up I asked myself oohhh my God, those two cows up-front (Parker & Mphela).. we will only score if we can get a penalty (parker will score) or a free kick (mashego will score) & u put Mashego,Henyekane,Khenyeza on the bench...

& how on earth can you not start with Tshabalala? these is not the time for trying new combinations we are only 270 days away from the world cup.

What is Pitso doing at Bafana? is he just chowing the moolar or are they really advising Santana?

BrokeFan: 2009-09-09 07:49

I still maintain, we are good building from the back going forward but when we reach the box we become lost. No one wants to take the responsibility to shoot. How can a player facing the goals turn his back and face where he comes from? Ladies and gentlemen the time is now to have a naturally born striker. Cameroon has Samuel Eto’o, Ivory Coast has Didier Drogba, we have our own mischievous boy. It is time to swallow our pride and recall our son: Bennie. We have said a lot of bad things based on our justifiable anger. But we all know the truth. It is too late to build. 2010 is tomorrow.

sthabiso: 2009-09-09 07:57

Good point Khanyi, I still believe Shakes Mashaba was the ONE. Pity SUFFER didnt c it, Mr Mashaba dropped all those overseas big headed overated players and SUFFER were quick 2 recall him. U know why? Because he's SOUTH AFRICAN and those fat cats at SUFFER dont believe in our own. Shakes Mashaba is still the ONE.

ALL HAIL KING MODISE.

Busani: 2009-09-09 07:59

Poor BB, now I know how Walter Mokoena/BrokeFan, oops thats what the lady rumor brought to my attention, anyhow, thats what that poor jobless boy felt like when he got hisself fired. Mokoena - Mbazo i.e. is a good player no doubt, but we got a dud for a coach, in the 1st half BB were just foreplaying the Irish team no penatration and I suppose that was that fat-face's intructions and only in 2nd half did they try to hit the hole, but I guess fourplay to got them tired cos jus when I thought they will hit the hairy spot, ba bizy badlalela emathangeni, fat face has turned our boyz into izishimane, aboyazi imbobo, ba romantic nje, uma kumele babhoboze, bayabhayiza

Isaac : 2009-09-09 08:02

MNC dissapointed my foot!!u said you were learning mos so now what do u excpect?mnc if they selected only local based players it was going to be better.
SAFA & BB SACKS bigtime.we are going nowhere we must not fool ourself.our STD of football its too low.maybe we must consider getting our local coach to help.we are sinking down the SEA we don't see it.keep on learning now hope BB ranked 102 inthe FIFA ranking.

Riccye: 2009-09-09 08:03

I hope the rest of this country's eyes open soon........SAFA is running our football to the ground!

Khoza, Hack and company needs to go. We're always striking about wage and work conditions, lets start a strike for the Sport Minister to start intervening before it's to late.

Santana, Khoza and all those other monkeys must go!!

Bring in quality like Lucas Radebe, Gavin Hunt even Rud Krol for heavens sake!

We Must choose a date and bring this country to it's knees.....maybe then they'll listen to what we football loving South Africans want!

Benni McCarthy, Nassif Morris and Mbulelo Mabizela are needed as in sooner rather than later in this team. How can our captain claim we are building but the direction is downwards? This is total crazyness. We cant be fooled as we also know the game far too well. Bafana Bafana are USELESS period!!!!!!!!

Jst take responsiblty as a captain nd tell big nose 2 recal Benni at least u would hav done one gud thing in ur football carrer...

SIBUSISO: 2009-09-09 08:15

The skipper says the team is not too concerned at having recorded a record sixth straight defeat.

""""who on earth in his good state of mind will say **** like this. He is telling us its ok to loose six games in a row??? One moment they are learning and the next they are building up to 2010 WC???? THIS IS BULLLLLLLL MAAAAN!!!!!

How can you build a house which shows cracks b4 you can even finish and expect that house to be strong???? You must be a stupid to think that.

Purrah: 2009-09-09 08:22

Well... I think Walter was right Santana must go with Mbazo... I think I would tolerate Pitso than a coach who is paid exhorbitant amounts...

Njabulo: 2009-09-09 08:27

I believe in Bafana Bafana! I think they have an exeptioal football philosophy, there're just a few things that need attention and finetuning.
1. Defending, particularly against setpieces
2. Our wingbacks need to understand how crucial they are to the teams attacking play, and i don't just mean the push up there to make up numbers, they need to get past defenders, attack the D-line and pull it back for a simplistic finish.
3. Our attackers should not just focus on the short ***** that have our strikers' backs facing goals (wall passes), but also on short passes that will release the strikers. the strikers should also anticipate this.

all in all, i don't think it's time to panic...for me, the results don't matter for now, i believe in Santanas plan, i can see it, i'm not too sure if some of the players can though.

Mk Mjukutya: 2009-09-09 08:31

Hey wena Mokoena, we don't care about controling the game wheres you building up the looses up to six now. I think now, is the time for this Skipper to step down. He is leading by losing.

john : 2009-09-09 08:32

God created heaven nd earth in 6 day. Hw long wl it take satana nd co 2 finish their winnin team, if dts wat dey r building. We lost 2 inexperience plyers nd mbazo aka palooka of da century says we played wel. We lost period. Its bwt tym dat SAFA intervene, we r da laughin stock of Africa. Need I say more.

Siyaz: 2009-09-09 08:34

BrokeFan: 2009-09-09 07:49

Khosi, don't start baba. That boy(McCarthy) is full of himself. Secondly we need to admit he has become average (wish Henri Michel was still around to tell him). When last did he score a goal, for either his precious Blackburn or Bafana? Let us stop living in the past and face the facts. Santana must use Parker to his strength and stop being defensive. Our strikers are not getting any service. And how can one expect that service playing with six defenders? We need one defensive midfielder with Pienaar in the middle, Teko on the right and Tshabalala/van Heerden on the left with Parker and Henyekane upfront. Let us forget about Masingas, Bartlets and McCarthys of this world.

Mantane Isaiah: 2009-09-09 08:35

It does not affect the players at all, of course it is disappointing not to win games, but it is about building towards the World Cup.”

Building for which World Cup Mokoena? 2010 is afte rfew months and I hate it when you guy talk like its after 5 yrs. U r just disappointing and weak, admit it man. Jerrrrrrrrr

July: 2009-09-09 08:39

What a game BB, 68% possession, zero goal, SAFA, SATAN pls this is my last call, bring Benni back for Magdagasca, i am not repeating this to you Satan, fail this advice you'll watch WC in your house in Brasil,Benni plssssssssssssssssssssss.

Benjamin: 2009-09-09 08:46

There is a big possibility that we might host the 2010 Afcon. In fact 60% chance. We better prepare ourself now.

Wasim: 2009-09-09 08:47

BRING BENNI MCCARTHY BACK.....AT NATIONAL LEVEL OUR CAPE STRIKERS HAVE ALWAYS BEEN THE BEST.....MARK WILLIAMS, SHAUN BARTLETT.....

Classic: 2009-09-09 08:49

This Mokoena is always having a stupid things to say after the deafeat. Yestarday's game was an embaassment to the country. How do you fail to beat a B-team, with an A Team, and even console yourself that you are playing well in terms of ball possession. This guy does not have the captain qualities, and he claims to understand the game better. He must be fired to gether with his coach NOW.

Ali: 2009-09-09 08:51

I have heard from reliable source at SAFA offices that Mr Olifant and Raymond will be having an urgent meeting with Mr Santana and his technical team when they get back to the country from Ireland.

It is also believe that some high profile members of SAFA have been booked to go to Brazil next week, to have discussions with Carlos Alberto Perreira to ascertain if there are chance that he can come back and coach Bafana Bafana. They will also be speaking to Fluminense and see if they can realize or buy him out of his contract.

It is also speculated that Carlos Queiroz could come and replace Santana once Portugal have finished their quilifiers and that's if they fail to qualify for the World cup.

DR NDIVHUWO: 2009-09-09 08:54

disappointed about losing? didn't u say we were learning? since ACN qualifying stage then Confa and friendly games there and there, we were and still learning. learning losing and losing just like Kaizer Mugabe Chiefs supporters are still learning how to demolish stadiums and construct it, stadiums like Soccer city and Newlands were victims after learning im sure they can proceed with this learning and build on their invisible Amakhosi stadium

Muzi: 2009-09-09 08:55

Mara Walter Mokoena was right; this moemish of a captain and his coach need to go asap before anymore damage is done. Santana should not see 2010

SIBUSISO: 2009-09-09 08:56

Come on guys.......benni is not the solution. He was there when we failed to qualify for the AFCON for 2010 in Angola.
He has been there to all those games we lost and we all know they were his choice otherwise he does not have love for this country. I wish we had guys like E'tio or Drogba...they are always there and they always deliver

KING: 2009-09-09 08:56

Its just simple Guys, stop panicking

Santana must fokof or futsek or must go
Mbazo is useless, stupid and ke Nkomo
Pitso is Khanyisile Mbawu – Gold digger and must also go

In replacing the above

Jomo Sono / Shakes Mashaba must do the job
Bennie must come back to captain BB
Steve Kompela/Farouk Khan must assist Jomo
OJ Mabizela will replace Nkomo Mokoena

Then, Mark Haskiens, S Sangweni, M Mayambela, Mabalane , Nale must be included.

Mphela is a waste………….Parker can learn a lot from Bennie ………Hanyekane must be patient.

Dumi: 2009-09-09 08:57

We field attacking players, all of a sudden we look a better team. This is what we want, loose we an attacking team. We played very well. We showed that we have potential and skill to match these guys but lacking a good striker. So where to from here? ((((((((BRING BACK OUR BENNI,,,,I DONT CARE WHO SAYS WHAT))))))..

SIBUSISO: 2009-09-09 08:58

Wasim: 2009-09-09 08:47

Stop being racist...we know you coulored people call us darkies and you dont see yourself as blacks but you are only black when you want tenders

BrokeFan: 2009-09-09 08:59

Siyaz: 2009-09-09 08:34

Khosi, I hear you. But not concur with your statement "Our strikers are not getting any service". Unless u are not reffering to last night's game. Parker, Mphela, Khanyeza and Henyekane got more ***** than any striker can wish for last night. They did not have that killer finish that McCathy possess. Yes Benny is not scoring in Blackburn at the moment, just like Andriy Shevchenko at team level, but have you seen him in Ukrain? We need an experience guy upfront to take those shots...Benny is the answer baba...Like it or not. I also hate that fact...

Mthizozo: 2009-09-09 08:59

The only coach who will succeed with Bafana Bafana is a coach will get rid of Mokoena. Compare this guy with the previous captains like(Neil Tovey, Lucas Radebe and Mbulelo Mabizela)and you will know what I'm talking about

Purrah: 2009-09-09 09:01

Well... I think Walter was right Santana must go with Mbazo... I think I would tolerate Pitso than a coach who is paid exhorbitant amounts...

Dumi: 2009-09-09 09:03

So people what do we do with our trusted Captain my captain Aron the mighty Mbazo Mokoena. If we dont invade the pitch while BB is playing and take him out ourselves, he is going for a 100 games milestone. we need to act fast.

Tmbobla: 2009-09-09 09:05

Satan and Mokoena MUST GO they failed to provide leadership to the team were ****ed by Germany and now Sodomised by minnows Ireland while we learning the learning must stop now! We want results or Satan must go

Purrah: 2009-09-09 09:06

MBAZO MUST GO!!!

mandla: 2009-09-09 09:07

Both Eto'o and Drogba were puzzled with the ommission of McCarthy from the Bafana team(when asked on BBC)1.He's our leading goal scorer 2.Has always been hard done by SAFA 3.A proven goal poacher (Half of all the created by SA chances Benni will bury them)4.He's won everything but the World Cup. As for our Captain the least said the better!Smax

sinothi: 2009-09-09 09:08

santana must go

Benjamin: 2009-09-09 09:10

When are we announcing a new coach?

Benjamin: 2009-09-09 09:11

SA to host 2010 Afcon in January.

Siphiwe: 2009-09-09 09:13

I get migraines every time here the names Bafana Bafana, Joel Santana and Aaron Mokoena now... And thank you King we need Siyabonga Sangweni to be given a chance to play for BB and we also do need to bring back the prodigal son (Bennie).

Kali: 2009-09-09 09:20

Hehehe, Walter Mokoena, otherwise known as Brokefan on kickoff, must be smiling while fondling his by now big tummy hehehe.
But back to the point: Any team that plays against Ireland will have LOTS of possession.
My worry is that the link between midfield and strikers is not the best. I'm not worried about the players, I'm worried about the tactics. So what is we beat Madagascar 3-0? Nothing to be learned. I still say put Pitso and Mnqithi there and see passion come back to the national team.
Forget those bitter 1996 players, they offer nothing but whining.

thibos: 2009-09-09 09:21

I THINK THIS WONDER IS SLEEPING WITH SANTANA COZ HE ALWAYS SEES SOMETHINGS THAT WE DONT SEE, HOW DO U JUSTIFY LOSING AGAINST A SECOND STRING IRISH COWS WHO WERE GIVING DEBUTS TO 19 AND 20 YEARS OLDS? THE FACT OF THE MATTER IS WE ARE PATHETHIC AND I FIND IT STRANGE TO SEE THAT THOSE WHO MADE A NOISE AT CONFED CUP ABOUT BAFANA COMING BACK, AND I WAS EVEN LABELLED UNPATRIOTIC AND I COULDNT CARE LESS COZ SA IS FULL OF PEOPLE WHO KNOWS VERY LITTLE ABOUT SOCCER, THEY JUST LOVE THE SPORT. THOUGH ITS APPROXIMATELY 7 MONTHS BEFORE THE WORLD CUP STARTS, I PUT MY HEAD ON THE BLOCK BY SAYING SA IS GONNA CRASCH IN THE 1ST ROUND AND I DONT CARE WHO SAYS WHAT IN FACT THEY GONNA EMBARASS THE NATION AT HOME. TO U WONDER AND THIS MZUKISI, U DONT KNOW SOCCER, GO AND PLAYSTATION IS RIGHT FOR YOU

senzo: 2009-09-09 09:22

hey guys its high time that we as south africans to stop being foolishand admit that santana didnt do anything wrong against ireland.the fact is even if we can have the striker like drogba we will loose coz our players are dead walking. only pienaar was making something there.there is no fighting spirit in the team. if any of you disagrees must come out and tell us who was playing better than pienaar yesteday. stop being foolish and overdefensive to the low average players.

Bakaniya: 2009-09-09 09:24

It is 2 late to fire a Coach but it is not late to Fire Mokoena.

Let Pienaar or Mcbeth be the Captain. Under How many Coaches has this Dude Failed Us. Makahambe U mokoena.

mandla: 2009-09-09 09:26

Lets invite that Blaise guy to relegate Mbazo to the stands...and that Santana mamadouo said it a long time ago we are going nowhere with this Palooka.Why did nt he give Anele a chance?Smax

Kali: 2009-09-09 09:26

WONDER
What you say is true. But relax, Danny Jordan will win easily and really put everything in order.

Denny: 2009-09-09 09:29

Questions to our Captain

Ok, let us dichotomise this 'learning' notion. How sure are we that what you are learning will be implemented timeously before 2010. What exactly are you learning, after 93 caps and 50 times 'captaining' Bafana? What are the terms of references? If you do learn something, how sure are we (the fans) that implementation of what you learned will bear fruits? What fruits are those, reaching 2nd round of the world cup?

KING: 2009-09-09 09:35

5 step plan to rescue Bafana Bafana

1. First we fire Santana and Pitso

2. Appoint Jomo and Steve Kompela as an assistant

3. Appoint L Radebe as team manager

4. we recall Bennie and Mabizela, any of them to captain the team.

5. In Cale, Haskiens, Nale, Mabalane,Mayambela, Sangweni, Slim Kat

Out: Gould, Mokoena, Khumalo, Mphela, Khenyeza, Ngobeni, Thwala, Baloyi, Vernandes.

and Pienaar must give Teko the number 10 jersey please

Phelelani: 2009-09-09 09:36

Mokeana you are such a flop you don't even deserve to play in SA Mvela league, Inyanga iyakusebenzela baba you give your NYANGA a bonus as December is around a corner.

boski: 2009-09-09 09:37

Mokoena has failed the nation he must be stripped this Captaincy!He cant inspire his team to perform better,he is just quite and never encourages players to improve,he is always learning,how can a 30year old man with more than 90 caps always learn,when will he ever have enough expirience?This man is rubbish!I am sorry I used to like him in the early 2000's but now he is kak!He must always speak to his players,look at Fernandez he cant organise a wall during a freekick,at this time and age!No man he must also go anyway he is not playing in a competative league anymore on top of it,Ag man!

Purrah: 2009-09-09 09:42

AARON MOKOENA MUST GO... Its to late to fire Santana but it can be done...

James: 2009-09-09 09:43

Mokoena you only SAFA's stooge that is why they keep you and allow you to embarrass yourself!with all those caps what have you learned or even taught your players??? to be an embarrassment that is! as long as you captain we going to loooooose!!! be a man and give that armband to someone worthy of it. Yes Pienaar who is the only consistent player and who all of you can learn from. Santana's stomach is growing from all our Rands, I wonder if Carlos is getting a kick-back, with this mediocre coach, I wonder!

Kali: 2009-09-09 09:20
hehehe Kali....

You should have seen him trying to use the kids to influence SAFA to fire Zakumi. Wearing an old clearly worn-out lion gown and a helmet embedded with a car registration printed ‘Bafana 4Life’. He says to a group of kids: “That Zakumi is the main reason Bafana Bafana are losing. He is not entertaining the crowd. He does not have a great sense of humor, he is stiff and not flexible like me” [jumping at the tree, moving from one branch to another]. The kids clearly amused and applauding him, he gets carried away by the moment and miscalculates the distance between the next branches. He fails to reach the next branch and falls on his back.

The kids laugh and go to him not realizing he is in great pain, “uncle Kali please get up and do it again” [pulling him by the tail causing more pain to his injured butt] “Voetsek, julle %$#&...Leave me alone” One sad kid responds “But the real Zakumi won’t swear at us...” Kali responds: “Yah...that useless Zakumi has never fell on his back like I did” One kid responds: “Yes Zakumi is a lion and real lions don’t climb trees” Irritated by the statement he pushes the poor child with his size 11 shoe: “ take your friends and fok-off to your useless Zakumi”. The kids disperse in sadness: ”That lion is rude”.

1stkid "Mom said we should never play near uncle Kali. He is has enough troubles already. " 2ndKid: “Are referring to his small height-the midget thing?” 1stKid “Not only that, mom thinks he is also fighting the fact that he is gay” 3rdkid: “shame…a gay midget ?”

It was very interesting to see BB dominating the game; i think we are really learning from these teams and we will continue our learning process Sa****ay against Madagascar...hehehe that bustard Santana never even earned a single cap for his country Brasil when he was a player. So i guess we will learn till we find a coach that has experience in coaching.

DR NDIVHUWO: 2009-09-09 08:54 I have gone through all the comments here, everybody was relevant except DR NDIVHUWO. He is talking about KC and the stadiums while others are ommenting about bafana bafana game. Ndivhuwo you must be ashamed of yourself. This only means you dont know soccer, you only know critisism. From now I wont bother myself about you, I understand why.
Coming to BB game: The captain said the team is not concerned about the sixth back to back losess, Heehee, its so funy, if you are not we are. You better resign from BB and will have another team that is conserned.

Brandon : 2009-09-09 09:57

King your plan is absurd.... The only thing that I can agree to is that we must recall Benni McCarthy....The team is still in denial and claiming that we can do without him..If we look at the goal scoring ratio the picture is clear to all...On the other hand I think with all our suggestions etc this Bafana of us is a hopeless case gents.....

thibos: 2009-09-09 10:00

TO WONDER, I DONT EVEN UNDERSTAND YOUR QUESTION, IN YOUR WORLD U MIGHT THINK U ARE SMART BUT IN REALITY ITS THE OPPOSITE, HOW MUCH DID SANTANA GAVE U FOR A 1 NIGHT STAND, IT MUST BE LOTS HEH

KING: 2009-09-09 10:03

BrokenFan…… has uleashed a news Mascott for SA …Lol

“Kali Zakume Gay Midget “ ………is our new Mascot

He is also Suewing BrokenFan, Sbusiso,Thabang and other Khosi Fans for Boing and questioning his Gender, like Caster Semenya

Phaka: 2009-09-09 10:04

King you seem to be clueles Teko does not even derseve to be in BB at the moment how can you give him number 10 ?? you crazey man..........

Khosi 4 Life Since 1970: 2009-09-09 10:06

“We had lots of possession, so from that point of view it is disappointing for us not to get anything from the game,” Mokoena says. “It’s a good thing that we controlled the game tonight, even more so given the changes we have made on this trip, we just could not score.”


Aaron! What the f*ck is wrong with you, idiot? Ball possession mean zilch, nothing, zito! so stop making excuses, you are just a bad leader. Benni must replace you.PERIOD.



As for Santana and them, When is this team going to stop learning and graduate to a world beater, morons?


SAFA top management must be recalled with immediate effect. Strong leadership is needed.NOW!


Pienaar, Mhlongo and Shabalala are the only players in the current selected squad that showed signs of productive football.

SANTANA MUST BE RE-CALLED FOKOF! FINISH AND KLAAR!

saga: 2009-09-09 10:08

Mbazo, u a hev gained so much on ur personal capacity but not 4 da nation.Ironically u a the most capped and most unsuccessfully captain BB ever had. Do da right ting resign from int. footbal ASAP.

SIBUSISO: 2009-09-09 10:11

There's one thing left to this guy honestly.....it is a very good thing that some of you here will agree with me 100%
It is one thing and one thing only that will help BB to win (if thats the case)
Its one thing that Santana will appreciate and that one thing is for.......

Mokoena to go to national TV and ask to be relieved of his duties and he appologise and confess that Pitso asked him to make silly fouls so that we can loose all the matches.

He must also tell us that Pitso wanted Santana to be fired and the only way to do this is to loose. He must tell us that Pitso wanted to be care taker coach after Santana is gone since SAFA wont hire another coach for the WC

Phaka: 2009-09-09 10:15

Cruel I agree with you Santana should be fired and Benni must be recalled tothe squad but I don't agree with you on Mhlongo coome on the guy can't pass the ball all he does is tackle in dangerous areas,Dikgacoi can do better alone with pinaar in the middle of the park.then have Shabalala and Erio on the sides Parker and Benni as strikers,they we deploy Moriss,Khumalo/Sangweni,Moon,Masilela in the back.....

Gay magnate : 2009-09-09 10:24

At least we are good in rugby and cricket.

GERALDINE: 2009-09-09 10:25

sad, sad, very sad! How much longer are we going to build & learn when time is running out?

HIV Positive: 2009-09-09 10:30

Soccer lovers.

Let's form a forum that will look at sacking santana!

What does everybody thinks?

Nkalakatha: 2009-09-09 10:32

Hey wena don't keep on giving us excuses. You are one of those plkayers who are not doing anything for our country but keep on coming to play nosense here. You must just get out and we will replace you with such a quality plkayer and I'm sure you know who that plater is. He is far superior than most of you in that clueless team. But to send you to the bencg and leave your father Satan behind won't solve the problem. You must both go and work in your recently launched academy or whatever. It's always said trhat the empty tin make the most noise. So just shut up

Zweli: 2009-09-09 10:35

BB play is disgusting to say the least... I believe the BB's are not learning anything, they have been playing since '94 only SANTA is learning here after all he is inexperienced... with the current display the team will not be ready at all.. we will never make it to the secound round.
We might as well bring politics to SA soccer and lets march to SAFA offices and make demands.

Demands listed below:

FIRE SANTANA
GET SA COACH ( a good SA coach)

its disgusting to see a soccer go down the drains like tis...

Zweli: 2009-09-09 10:48

What SAFA needs is a protest from all Concerned and affected South Africans... currently this national team is a disgrace and to be frank I am sick of it. i cannot stand out as a fellow SA'n and whatch tis thing (BB) loose day it and day out and still consider it a learning curve... this is absolutely no improvement at all, they are still playing the same way the did 4yrs ago ( creating chances, poor defense;poor discipline and poor technical abiliies, poor coaching; poor planning .... the list goes on.... i have stopped whatching BB play... How do we as a country with a the most expensive and recognised league and the most dedicated and good players still manage to create a mockery of our national team... its ridiculous and unacceptable.. We have do dismantle the stereotype's sitting there by SAFA that are saying they are building a team.. Lets make a noise, lets march to their offices and lets fight to make this a better country regardless of whether is in sports or not.

GERALDINE: 2009-09-09 10:48

What i find hard to understand is while we are still "building & learning" and there are two friendlies being played - why not play your "first choice" team and then give ur second team a chance to show their worth - why call up players and never give them a chance? Why wasnt clifford or ncongo given some time? I think back to the last game BB played in the confed cup. There was nothing to lose, why couldnt he play all those players who sat on the bench throughout the tournament & were made to warm up forever?!Was he scared they would do better?

Thabo : 2009-09-09 10:50

Aaron Mokoena must not insult our intelligence. At first he claimed Benni was selected to play against Serbia when he was not and now he claims we are learning. We are the 1996 AFCON Champions, 1998 AFCON Runner ups, 2000 AFCON Third place winner and South Africa will be hosting the 2010 World Cup next year and Pirates conquered Africa in 1995. He plays for Portsmoth & you recently captained the team, Steven Pienaar (Everton), Kagisho Digacio ( Fulham) & other European based players are an example of what we have achieved since readmission. Pitso Mosimane spend his playing career in Greece & under his guidance, Supersport became Cup specialists. Now, whose learning, you or Santana? A TV presenter suspended for calling for your sacking & Santana’s should be reinstated because he was right but his timing was not right.

One can tell who knows soccer and who doesn't(NB, if played soccer in your street, that doesn't count). BB can not afford to fire the coach now,maybe after the world cup!a new coach will not get us anywhere,we have done the chop and changing of the coaches now and that has not helped us....tell the Wonder (the organizer).
I am totally against calling back FAT Bennie, that boy doesn't want to play for BB so why force him, let him be. We need to be behind the team hear, Boks have lost couple of times so did proteas but the fans never called for the coaches head...look at other countries in Europe the fans are patriotic, win or lose they still love and support their team. give good advice with no anger...then you will see results. and of course call the Zim Chieps fans to go burn the SAFA offices!!LOL!!

Soccer Fan: 2009-09-09 11:02

We always blame the coach. However responsibility must be placed on his shoulders if he has the final say.

There is a positive correlation between the numbers of players playing aboard in top leagues and the consistent success of thier national sides. Sadly our feeder league (PSL) produces weak product/players, PERIOD!! Very few coaches/people have the ability to turn our weak PSL product/players into consistent world class players. It is not reasonable to blame 1 coach and captain for the failings of a countries football system.

Aaron is an excellent player. He is a solid captain. It is extremely challenging captaining a sinking ship.

Stonza: 2009-09-09 11:11

now you are talking soccer fan!!!and leave these fools who don't know soccer. It was not Santana who told even steven to run out of ideas in front of goals and end up turning back..and he did not tell the player of the month to give "to whom it may concern" passes.

Sipho: 2009-09-09 11:29

These are a cowards' words, how can losing a game not affect players or is it because these amatures get paid for losing games? For sure Shakes Mashaba is laughing at us wherever he is.

thibos: 2009-09-09 11:32

TO WONDERGIRL, HAS ANYONE ANSWERED THAT DUMB QUESTION OF YOURS, GO TO YOUR BOYFRIEND SATANA, YOU ARE GOOD FOR EACH OTHER. I ASKED YOU A QUESTION, HOW MUCH DID PAID YOU FOR A 1 NIGHT STAND? PLS ANSWER DEAR

zoro : 2009-09-09 11:34

Mokoena stop covering lies, you'll soon runout of excuses.The truth is so stark,our coach is good for his own standard but not a visceral winner.How invective we can be to him and his technical team for their amorphous and claptrap strategies, we are heading nowhere. Santana and his dementia crue are safe and sound and will deliver nothing.BB is an autopilot since SAFA is embroiled in their forthcoming elections.

Purrah: 2009-09-09 11:36

I CALL FOR THE REINSTATEMENT OF WAAAAALLLLTTTTTEEEERRRR MOKOENA HE WAS RIGHT!!
