document.write("What an idiot. You can have the best coach in the world it will not make a difference. How many coaches have we had in the last 10/15 years. We haven't got the players. How many of our players are in the top 100. NONE. If we could beat Spain and the other top nations all our guys would be playing overseas. I suppose you brainless twit you expect Bafana, Bafana to beat Brazil on Thursday night. If you have the answers why don't you coach them. You just a bad loser. Why don't you shout at the other idiot who is our Minister of Sport who only bitches about Rugby and Cricket. Tell the idiot that it starts with the youth, and if you don't follow the examples of the great nations by starting with them while they are still wet behind the ears, we will get nowhere. Take the great players like Messi (Barcelona) Ronaldo (ex Man. United), they taught these guy's to kick a ball before they could walk. WAKE-UP MAN!. Brian D.");
document.write("Bafana coach must stay but need to wake up
");
document.write("Well Joel Santana is a good coach but i was very saddened by his tactics as he fails to subtitute players who don't perform on time benson mhlongo was a flop, santana should stop his defensive strategy because it is costing the team ,wake up santana please. Dlamini Mcebo");
document.write("Poor Judge Of Character
");
document.write("First of let me congratulate Santana for turning the team around and getting them to play as a unit once again.
The wonders of living in this country is that people will always have opinions and some opinions should not even be taken to head let alone serious, Walter Moekoena's ignorance at the end of the match just proves that this country is filled with mindless idiots who talk before they think... We have never since 1996 been able to build a team to challenge international teams, how many coahces have failed to beat European opposition and American opposition??? Calling for Santana to be axed just shows that they expect results before hardwork and thats the problem with this country, we are learning to walk all over again and now they expect us to run, the game we had against Spain just shows that we are not bending over to the opposition like we used to do and that idiot (Walter) cant see that as his eyes is so far up his @ss
If anybody should be axed it should be him for a person reporting on a sports show he should have the proper knowledge of the game and should be able to see the progress that's been made in the way we play and the progress made in team selection.
Would the SABC please get rid of Walter Mokeona and bring back Robert Marawa as he was and still is a better sports journalist than Walter will ever be!!!!
Grow up Walter, we are moving in the right direction. Proudly South African");

document.write("south African public get rid of big club bosses in SAFA and fire current exec. Then appoint a new board new coach and start rebuilding a new team based on merit!!!! If not it will remains one step forward five back.Break the cycle starting at the root cause do not treat the symptoms!!!. Desso");
document.write("he is just an ordinary coach
");
document.write("surely i agree with what Welter said, also want him out based on the fact that he is too ignorant and tactical just below par. i tell you now jus try Moon on the right flank and stop this gaxa with his poor accuracy when it comes to crosses, for useles santana you must go back to brasil and learn to be creative coz you can not score goals if you don't create goal scoring oportunities and that the coach has to take the blame. coz you the one who is directing who to attack and who to defend and the attack is so poor, so slow and no basics at all, just do something in that area and then maybe you will save your job and make us proud. rofhiwa muleya");
document.write("Bafana Bafana coach should shape up or ship out
");
document.write("Compliments for Santana and his crew for qualifying to the semis but i'm not happy with the tactics of the coach, he should stop his defensive strategies, how can you employ a devensive strategy when at the same time you expect to win a game. you can not win a game when you play defensive football that is for cowards. our players are at their best but santana fails them, he fails to substitute underperfoming players on time. i personally was not happy for what he did to simphiwe Tshabalala taking him in with only 10 seconds left no wonder he did not touch the ball, that was demoralising the player, what do the assistants say when such things happen, i developed hatred towards santana for what he did to simphiwe because had he put him in on time there is a lot he could have done than Mhlongo who played a part in Bafana loss with his coach. he must substitute underperfoming players on time. Mcebo \"Shabas\" Dlamini");
document.write("Brasil
");
document.write("If I were Brasil, I would book my plane ticket now to capitalise on low costs. Playing the way they have been doing, there is no way they will win against Bafana. I know they are favourites and they trashed Italy, but their counter attack and speed strategy is not going to cut. They need something else. At the end of this game. When Walter made the comment, I switched to Madluphuthu on SS3. I can't stand to listen to idiots.. Zoomy");
document.write("what is the issue?
");
document.write("Desso your comment is spot on: what is the issue? and then address it....irrespective of whether this is 20 coaches down the line or not. as long as there is reason to act action must be taken. however, the action and decisions are taken by the same crowd which has failed us and bafana dismally to date. on the issue of the coach, he is unfortunately out of his depth at this level and not taking us forward. what with his defensive displays and poor tactical decision making mid-game. remember though that the likes of raymond hack promised to fall on their swords should this appointment not work out. teh reasons for keeping santana should alos be based on objective reasons and not on aesthetical play hankering or on whether it would be expensive to sever ties. . lebo");
document.write("Soccer Experts
");
document.write("So much for all the soccer experts, aside from Brazil's 80's early 90's team, any world beating team is based on sounds defence (ex Brazil 80's early 90's). Germany, Italy France, etc. are all brilliant defensive units. Brazil is winning games on the counter attack, which means they DEFEND most of the time. How many goals has Spain let in the last 34 games? How can you score goals if you always picking the ball up from the back of your net? Everyone want's to see goals, but we are not talking exhibition games here, results count. As other people have mentioned, under Santana (whether he's reposnible or not he get's credit for it being under his watch) Bafana is playing as a cohesive team for a change, and not leaking goals like they have the last 10 years. 1996 Bafana won based on their defensive strangth!.

");
document.write("Why is it in South Africa, every time a team loses, they blame the coach or the captain - please Walter Mokeona get a wake up call, Santana MUST stay he has turned Bafana Bafana round, they can hold their own with the best, and you Mr Mokeona must go!. Tish");
