Still no goals for Bafana

Still no goals for Bafana

Posted: 2009-11-17 22:34

It was yet another night of frustration for Bafana Bafana as they were held to a goalless draw by Jamaica in Bloemfontein.

The South Africans dominated the first half, but could not get going after the break as the islanders comfortably held on for the draw.

That means the World Cup hosts have now scored just six goals in their last 12 internationals.

Bafana had the better of the opening exchanges, with Benni McCarthy particularly influential. He combined with Siphiwe Tshabalala to play in Katlego Mphela, but his shot from the edge of the area was sliced wide.

On 11 minutes it was McCarthy and Mphela again – this time a neat one-two which saw Mphela one-on-one with goalkeeper Dwayne Miller, but he took a touch too many and his effort was saved.

Against the run of play, Jamaica almost took the lead when a cross from the left clipped off Aaron Mokoena’s boot, but Rowen Fernandez was alert to the danger.

A couple of minutes later, however, Fernandez was beaten after a great run by Jason Morrison left a lot of defenders in his wake. Fortunately Mokoena was back to clear the ball off the line.

McCarthy was looking lively and fired in a powerful free-kick which was well saved by Miller. Three minutes later Mokoena had a great chance at the back-post, but his powerful header was straight at the keeper.

Jamaica then almost snatched the half-time lead, but Demar Phillips’ powerful free-kick sailed inches over.

There was precious little goalmouth action after the break – Mphela’s cross-cum-shot almost finding McCarthy, before Tshabalala’s free-kick sailed wide.

Kagisho Dikgacoi came closest in the second half, firing a curling shot inches over with the keeper well beaten, but ultimately it was a disappointing second half effort.

In fact, Jamaica came closest to scoring - substitute Omar Cummings heading over from right in front with just 10 minutes to go.

South Africa: Rowen Fernandez - Anele Ngcongca (Lance Davids 46th), Aaron Mokoena, Morgan Gould, Lucas Thwala - Kagisho Dikgacoi – Siphiwe Tshabalala (Bernard Parker 81st), Reneilwe Letsholonyane, Teko Modise (Elrio van Heerden 69th) - Katlego Mphela, Benni McCarthy (Richard Henyekane 68th) (Daine Klate 90th)

Jamaica: Dwayne Miller - Shavar Thomas, Jermaine Taylor, Dicoy Williams (Adrian Reid 80th), Jamal Campbell-Ryce (Eric Verman 66th) - Jason Morrison, Devon Hodges (Omar Cummings 69th), Demar Phillips, Jermaine Johnson (Nivean Boyd 76th) - Dane Richards (Lowel Palmer 84th), Rodolph Austin (Richard Edwards 76th)

Another disappointing 0-0 drwaw, yet the boyz played well, we created chances in the first half but couldnt convert. i think we miss those golden touches from steven (schilo) pienaar not taking anything away frm Yeye he really played well, the less said about Teko the better the guy needs to pull up his socks b4 its too late. must admit thou credit must be given to the guys at the back Aaron once again prove that he's not a captain by default he really lead by example. not quite sure with Lucas Twala's per

indeed dissapointing results,it huts & the pain is unbarable.

well my pleas to all my country man is please let show the true spirit of believing in our team, yes i know we r all fed up.but lets do what other nations do, rally behind the team during dark days not only in bright days only.i myselft cant even get out 2day cause 90% of my co.workers r all jamaicans & they promised me they wont loose 2day. well just a reminder & something to give us hope. do u all remember south korea in 2002?? & do u all remember greece in the euro 2004? so think about it & stop giving up hope, yes we can still pull the pieces together. lets support the boys & give them words of encouragement instead of calling them names. VIVA 2010, PROUDLY SOUTH AFRICAN.

Martin: 2009-11-17 23:26

The first half was a bit exciting. I ain't sure if the coach told the boys to go slow in the secod half cos all they did was take foot off the pedal. My personal feeling is that Mphela shouldn't have been given a full game bcos he has already proven himself. Kermit Erasmus should have been introduced so that he can be assessed with the big guns. Why spare substitutions when U have players still to be tested. Bravo to Mbazo for saving us from the situation that we most thought was a goal.

To my fellow south africans, this is the time where BB need our support the most, is still early to panic. lets raly behind our national team as is the only BB we have, if we dont support them who will? enough pointing fingers and let us support the boyz.

Khulekani: 2009-11-18 05:42

Better overall perfomance."Nywe nywe nywwe I need one touch to score" Nx where are those goals after two games please don't brag when you finished.Soccer is physical not a heart wish.However my fav player Teko should be dropped from the team.If we did drop Mokoena on prevous games I am sure we would have won some games. But Mbazo's form is back after this two games but I do not think the national team is a place for sentiments. Out of form = no callup and on form=call up. with that the team will win. I don't think Pienaar would have made us to win but we need him.

walter: 2009-11-18 06:10

if u cant score, then dont concede either. its better that way. they are still affected by Santana mania

no1fan: 2009-11-18 06:51

Most bloggers here do not seem to know how football is played. During the first half, Teko Modise lost the ball twice and won it six times and was doing more defensive work than the central midfielders. Also in the first half, he found a striker in the 18 area three times and even came close to scoring with that cross come shot at goal. It was his interpaly with Tshabalala that allowed Letsholonyane to move the way he did. Teko does not spend as much time on the ball as he did before. Almost without fail, his third touch is a completed pass (at least 80%) to a teammate. What you are witnessing is a transformation of Teko into a better footballer.

The problem that many have with Teko is down to their own prejudices and the fact that we expect him to be the catalyst for our victories and the team is not winning, so we blame him. On the other hand, that is the standard that he himself has set.

When Schillo comes back, I guarantee you that it will be Tshabalala that will be benched. Remember that Simphiwe has one leg and Teko can play anywhere on the field and has a better eye for space between defenders. More an more Teko's game involves the whole team and Parreira recognizes that. That is why he would rather accuse Pirates of not properly managing Teko instead of benching him.

Maxy: 2009-11-18 07:29

no1fan: 2009-11-18 06:51 [ Report ] I agree with you 100% sir. I did not see anything wrong with Teko. If you look at him he try to play different combinations. Passing, dribbling, creating spaces etc which many footballers cannot. I think the prophets of doom have been waiting for Teko to make one mistake and criticize him, which mistakes are part of football. Show me any footballer who does not make any mistake.And quite resonably I know where those prophets of doom come from but I'm not going to mention them because of the spirit of soccer

Diski-nine-nine: 2009-11-18 07:43

excellent assesment no1fan! no one could have said what u said abt Teko better! i also noticed yesterday that he did not hang on to the ball like he normally does. which is what his haters wanted. bt they still complain. personally i miss the fearless Teko who can players on with his eyes closed bt if u played football,u should that when u r off-form u tend to adjust ur style of play so that u can regain ur confidence. reducing time spent holding on to the ball is one of them if u r a creative player that likes to when on top form!

SIBUSISO: 2009-11-18 07:45

The match against Japan was a bit slow and boring for me. There was no moving forward in terms of scoring goals.

However yesterday's match was a bit better and there were lovely touches going forward even though the build up from the back was too slow or should I say the boys were keeping more position on our own half.

When going forward, it looked promising though the final pass was always disapointing.

We had lot of chances in terms of set pieces but we failed to use them. In any case, it ment that the more we put pressure on the Jamaican half, something was happening

Overall, the success is there and I hope we will do better as times goes on.

AS FOR YOU GUYS COMPLAINING AND BLAMING OTHER PLAYERS......I SAY SHAME ON YOU GUYS

Boipusho: 2009-11-18 08:13

Don't worry guys, Moriri is coming back soon.

Frank: 2009-11-18 08:14

For the the last time, stop the use of ur noisy vuvuzela! The Japanese side has also added to the call for ur senseless vuvuzela to be discarded as it contributes nothing to the game. Just try not using it in one game and see if Bafana won't score one goal. South Africa just lacks what it takes to play international football except against the likes of Lesotho, Swaziland and Madagascar.

Fuze 1: 2009-11-18 08:24

Mr/Ms editor, please stop being always negative when reporting, especially if there were some positives to mention. Why are you not saying that two games no lost for Bafana Bafana? Given the fact that Bafana Bafana has been losing many games previously. It is unfair to isolate any player now and criticise him as they are now showing signs of commitment to win. Jamaica is ranked far above South Africa and they cannot suddenly be a bad team. However, Bafana Bafana was far better than them. Isn't not that adequate to report about?

Yesterday, When I called for YEYE to start, the one KING from JUJU kraal changed my title to MRS and my surname to Letsholonyane. Mr KING please let us know how you feel about YEYE after last night?

Teko remains the best; he raised our hope with his brillient play for the past 2 years and now people unfairly expect miracles from him. IT's ONLY the pressure that's keeping him DOWN, he remaims one asset of BB.

Soccer Critic ( Tivani ): 2009-11-18 08:37

warning

This things of criticising Teko is not good for the country. This will further divide the country. Some of us will not fall into your trap. Now Media wants to select Bafana Bafana players. Players will never be selected by Kickoff or Soccer Laduma. If Teko do not get selected then i'm against Bafana. I will never support BB , if Teko seat on the bench or do not get selected. I will support opposition at all cost. I will always negative about Bafana. Media is very dangerous, you easily influence by Chiefs and sundowns fans against Pirates. Your team baggage makes you hate Modise. Modise is the greatest player in Africa and no one will take that tittle away from him.

Drop Modise, Drop Bafana supporters. So, what if Modise dropped and Bafana loose? would you blame Him? we draw we draw, is not Teko.

Samora: 2009-11-18 08:39

I wonder what criteria are national selectors using when they select players?is it the perfomance or the history,Benni is not even playing for Rovers but he's been selected,Lance davids is not a regular but also playing and we must stop celebrating 4 a perfomance we must celebrate 4 a win from now on.

Hard luck to the boys, better luck next time. We just need a creative midfilder, a fit Benny to combine well with Mphela or Parker. Bring back Gaxa, Morris and leave out Thwala. Well on the left wing it's a headache, am not sure who to leave out between Klate, Tshabala and Cale. They're all three are hardworkers and deserve to be in the team for the FIFA WC.

There are no Nigerians in ur stinking locations lest u accuse us of destroying it. We come here because of the white man's hard work and, of course, the sweet p***ies that are so cheap.

KING: 2009-11-18 09:26

Why cant we take the positive out of yesterdays game.

Reneilwe - showed charecter, and a good replacement for Sibaya, has defensive and creative abilities.
KG - proved he can play a holding role alone
Teko - substitute does n't make him less effective but was a chance to see other players, otherwise Teko played well, He took charge.
Tshabalala - seem to be good when coming from the bench
Spe Nyama McCarthy - can realy position himself well and he is not selfish
Mphela - must learn to be a team player, rather than seeking to be a Hero.
Davids - must be dropped, has been given enough chance but still offering nothing
Twala - is a tough defender, but not good going foward rather have Mdhledle as back up for Masilela.
Anele - played well but no involvement in the game
Gould - must make way for Booth or Mabizela but a good back up
Mbazo - played well but i am still not sure of him as a leader and captain
Elrio -lacks game time and offers nothing as a substitute
Even if Rowen - is good, i think the competition between Garfield Josephs and Spider Kid Khune is to High for him,Daren Keet is the future rather give him exposure.
Klate - difficult to judge him with trhe time given
Perreira - seem to be getting the response from players and knows what he is doing
Parker should have joined Chiefs instead of heading to Holland, His football is deteriating

Maxy: 2009-11-18 09:26

Frank!! You are totally wrong my brother. SA was build buy both white and Blacks. We were wise enough to realise that we can combine skills (black and white) to build SA. Many countries, like Zim and your coutry were not wise enough to combine skills with other races. I would like to remind you that SA is now multiracial, not only blacks and whites but many races are here to build the mighty SA economy because Black leaders like Bo Mandela attracted everyone to come and invest in this country and enject skills. To start saying it's only a white man's job is ignorance that is guided by wrong perception in your mind. I hope next time you have something better to say than coming here and insult my country.

It is really frustrating dat goals are still lacking, but guys let's tell da truth it was a high tempo game in the first half. The game was not boring at all and our player wanted to win at all cost.

Very much impressed by YeYe, Mphela, and our defence. My wish is to have games in January and Feb, as the recess will be too long considering that the team will play again in March.

Jacob/Styles: 2009-11-18 10:10

Surely this joseph and Frank guys are serious diseases, lets face it Nigeria was on a brink of not qualifying hence these ppl were quiet. Now they have qualified their egos are getting inflated again.

@ Frank: Did you know this "Abuja — Corruption has increased in Nigeria with the country currently ranking 130th out of 180 countries surveyed in the 2009 Corruption Perceptions Index (CPI) released by Transparency International (TI).

Last year Nigeria scored 2.7 points and took 121st position out of 180 countries but this year the country's CPI score dropped to 2.5 ranking at on the same position Lebanon, Libya and Mauritania."? So, i assume you want to bring this Skill of yours to SA neh! Did you also know that the Ghanaians want nothing to do with you? Dude, nobody likes you in Africa. Leave us with our Whites cause you had your democracy long ago. We are taking care of our democracy. I know all about your history so go back to your Sh*ty place man.

We have a rich footballer history and one of the finest crop of footballers in the world. until the PSL produce good SA footballers for export, SA will continue to lack behind. if care is not taken SA will disgrace africa during the 2010 world cup. most nigerian players including nigerians generally use SA as an easly route to europe.
