2010: Are we really ready?

By: football365 | May 14th, 2008 | 4 Comments »

With 757 days left until the 2010 World Cup, is South Africa really ready to host the illustrious tournament?
FIFA secretary general Jerome Valcke certainly thinks so and told the media last week that South Africa was on their way to host a successful tournament. He received assurances from ANC president Jacob Zuma that no ... [read]

How I learned to stop worrying and love the World Cup

By: football365 | May 6th, 2008 | No Comments »

As a South African and a fan of football I was overjoyed when FIFA awarded my home country the rights to host the 2010 World Cup. As a football journalist with a thorough knowledge of the inner workings of FIFA and a curmudgeonly old pessimist to boot, I knew one thing for certain the ... [read]

Goodbye Carlos, hello Santana

By: football365 | April 30th, 2008 | 1 Comment »

There are 721 days before the 2010 World Cup kicks off. And Joel Santana will constantly be checking his watch. The Brazilian mentor will have a lot to deal with while he tries to whip a notoriously underachieving squad into place – not least the wrath of the media who have already labled him ... [read]

Are SAFA behind Parreira’s decision?

By: football365 | April 22nd, 2008 | No Comments »

As a South African football fan I’ve become accustomed to false dawns and deep disappointments over the past decade but none have hit home quite as hard as the sudden, unexpected departure of Carlos Alberto Parreira.
For once it had seemed as if the usually criminally inept SAFA had got it right and appointed the ... [read]

At the End of the Day, Football is the Winner

Hi all (again).
It’s been a while since we were knocked out of the AFCON, but hey, life happens.
If anyone knows where Andreas is, please can you call his family on +27 87 567 1169 and let them know.
But I digress.
Anyway.
I’m not going to do post match analysis etc. Hopefully Andreas will come out ... [read]

Point Gained! Point Made!

By: andreas | January 25th, 2008 | 3 Comments »

Euphoria! Jubilation! Celebration!
Bafana Bafana gained a point AND scored a goal at the African Nations Cup Finals!
Right, when the dust has settled and we reflect it must be stated that we only gained a solitary point from this encounter, but we have to delve back a lot further to see why this point means so much.
In recent years ... [read]

Reaction to the Game

By: Naeem | January 24th, 2008 | 4 Comments »

Caution, this is not a post game analysis. Andreas will have one up later. That is his area of the blog.
CAP (Carlos Alberto Perreira) has bemoaned SA’s luck and claims we deserved all three points. I think he was watching the game with Green and Gold tinted glasses firmly fixed to his head.
I’d say ... [read]

South Africa v Angola

By: andreas | January 23rd, 2008 | 2 Comments »

I know I was meant to post after the game against Botswana but some people (my employers) seem to think that there is a world that exists away from football…shocking I know! So this will be a no bells and frills post, here we go…
So then, let us summarise the last few days. We managed to beat Botswana 2-1. Admittedly ... [read]
