Santana should go...

By Michael
The Bafana Bafana coach, Joel Santana's future is crumbling following the disappointing performance of the squad in both the domestic and foreign campaigns. Having had lost eight out of nine games that the squad has played in preparation for the 2010 World Cup, the future of the national team is bleak.
I totally agree with Daily Dispath's Monwabisi Jimlongo and Kariem Hassan that Joel Santana is faced with the axe. I do not think that the South Africa Football Association is going to tolerate more of the incompetencies of Santana. Regarding the fact that Santana had been given an ultimatum to win the next three matches including the one that he lost against Iceland, Santana might be skiting on thin ice for sure as commented by Monwabisi Jimlongo of the Daily Dispatch on the 15th of October.

Billy Cooper of The Herald had chat with the SAFA vice-president, Chief Mwelo. The vice-president confirmed that SAFA was going to meet to discuss the team’s performance. I do not agree with the views of Mwelo that there is still hope for Bafana Bafana. The Herald points out that the SAFA have not yet lost hope in the Bafana but instead in the coach. However Mwelo shows that he still has hope for the national team but I do not think that Santana is going to be the team coach during the 2010 World Cup because he has shown that he is not able to win the country glory.
