So let us continue. As in my previous post, I felt that Coach Santana might be disrespecting the structure Carlos Alberto Parreira implemented for the Bafana team.
On the question of giving "everybody" a try-out in the first year! Yes I believe Parreira and Santana have meet these requirements. Nobody can really complain about this issue. However we are now in the final year before the World Cup, and coach Santana is still giving "everybody" a try-out. Surely he should be focussing on the thirty odd players in the pool that we setout to create within the first year. Bafana's first team players are currently struggling. Where are the other twenty odd players who could fill in to bolster the squads performance?
The simple answer is that there isn't. Coach Santana has largely ignored Parreira's call to create a pool of players for each position threefold. He kept playing his first team players over and over again, that now when they are injured or out of form, there is a big gap to fill.
