I appreciate that Bafana Bafana have managed to knock up 5 wins in their last 5 fixtures but I still have a "bigger picture" concern.
The South African Football Association have officially / unofficially indicated that they want South Africa to try and emulate the highly creative football style that the Brazilian sides enjoy.
Without being overly negative I have two questions ... How exactly are we supposed to do this? Why are we trying to emulate a style we don't have the players to go with the style?
Very simply we have a problem scoring goals when we don't have Benni McCarthy there. The Brazilians on the other hand can score goals from pretty much anywhere...
We don't have a Ronaldinho or a Fred or somebody else who can single-handedly dominate a game.
However we do have some gritty (and creative) midfield players and some tough defenders. Why don't we play to this strength? Why do we need to copy a team that has a completely different set of players?
Why can't we develop our own style and dominate with this style?
Am I being unfair...?
