SAFA not proudly South African

Will South Africa make it to the quarterfinals of the 2010 Soccer World Cup? The Brazilian coach, Joel Santana has been sacked and another Brazilian coach, Carlos Alberto Parreira has been appointed.

Parreira left the job of coaching Bafana Bafana a few months ago, citing family commitments; and he recommended Joel Santana who failed to make any significant improvement to the national squad.

I wonder why Parreira was re-appointed; why the obsession with Brazilian coaches? It means the South African Football Federation (SAFA) is not proudly South African. I don't think Bafana's perfomance would improve because of Parreira's appointment, but I do believe a South African coach would do a much better job and our nation would improve.

I'm eager to see if the team's performance would improve in the next three games, but the real challenge is whether we will make it past round one of the world cup. Looking at our performance at the moment, I think we will be out in round one.
