I have said this since we started employing non-african coaches, they don't know our style and don't have the country's interest in their hearts. they only here to fill their pockets. I will not be surprised to see another 1998 technical team (Phillip Trousear) display next year.
Its high time we put a south african coach in.

It is said and done the current crop of BB is useless they talk more but have little to offer.Some fans fool us that the class of '96 was not better of course they were better.
They faced better opposition,the likes of Rivaldo,Henry,Ian Wright,Matheus were better than the opposition that is moering today.Santana and Mbazo lack both tactical and leadership qualities finish and klaar.All they want is to be part of 2010 WC without merit.

Poor SAFA officials..they seem to be as dillutional as the old crew. Do they think that the problems Bafana Bafana is facing will just go away? Shame on them!!! I understand how vulnerable they are since the situation is new to some of them and it looks like they don't wanna make hasty decisions. However, I think they think should now practice what they preached in the build-up towards the SAFA elections - revolution. How best to do that than to fire an incompetent coach in your first month in office. Doing that you would be passing a clear message that you have arrived and you mean business. Look, I hear the arguments that people make for the retainment of Santana because 'it is loo late', 'the players are also at fault', 'players lack passion', 'players can't score goals' etc. Although there is an element of truth in those we should not forget that the main driver in all this is the coach. The players are more like his subjects that are there to impliment his strategy. What is clear now is that Mr. Santana's strategy does not work and there are no signs that it will work in the near future with the world cup less that a year away. We need change, period... I am of the view that a good coach does not need more that six months to put together a formiddable soccer team. In the Bafana Bafana case, I think the potential is there and it is Santana that is not putting the right combination in the field. His ineffective defensive style which our players clearly can not master is well documented. So, we need someone that will explore the potential of these players and match his strategy to the SA players ability which is good ball skills and attacking. WE NEED 'CHANGE', SAFA, ESPECIALLY NOW THAT YOU HAVE ACHIEVED YOURS AT THE ADMISTRATION LEVEL.

Benni, you are a useless twat as well.

Last year, England failed to qualify for Europe. They lost against Croatia a couple of times and were hopeless. They fired their coach and employed Carpello. In one year, England qualified before losing a game they really were not interested in winning. so, please stop this non-sense that changing a coach now will achieve nothing. It is possible.

its a shame that we have to debate about this Santana's poor performing team.....time and again,,Santana has affected all soccer loving Bafana with his nonsense tactics..we as S.Africans no longer watch bafana-bafana games as used to...this man is really destroying all...the stadiums are no longer making money, S.A match viewers stats has gone down, he gets millions just to grow nurture his big nose....ek is moeg vir die ou!!!

Isnt it clear to all of you. Bafana has had so many coaches in the past, both foreign and national but they still loose.

We lost to a team that has more ice than land, it was the worst performance i have ever seen. Iceland is ranked 97th in the world but we still lost. The way in which Bafana defended was woeful. The score shoulD read 5-0.

Bafana did have their chances but failed to convert it into goals. All Bafanas players make it seem that they are so good, so brilliant, driving posh cars and living in big houses but they are all simply useless.

If we cant beat Iceland at home, how on earth do you expect Bafana to win against the likes of Italy, Spain, Germany, Brazil, England etc.

............... I can't help the team... it is too late...

Please!!Please!! let's leave the coach out of this, problem is we do not have the caliber of players that can do us proud in the world cup.

SAFA as the body responsible should resign, surely.
