Hey Jordan! Good win against Tounes indeed but there are a bunch of teams in Africa that are above Tounes at the moment.
If you were to ask me the chances for winning with the current players would be:
Misr 35%, Nigeria 30%, Al Maghrib and South Africa with 17.5% each. This is how I see things at the moment but if our guys get trained I bet we can raise our chances a a lot :)
Also next to games with Al Maghrib and Misr are crucial to SAs outcome. Since Misr is clearly stronger then Al Maghrib I would say the next game is more important because I guess if we are defeated then Misr would probably take us down too...
I guess Misr have clearly top players from Africa at the moment.
Good luck next game Boss!

Misr U21 is clearly favorite since the majority of its players are from Misr National Team (the 21y old guys). It's sad because after this season ends and the qualification to the WC they will lose all those guys and the team will be probably one of the weakest from the world... I just hope we can reach the second place that is for now my object but very very hard competition -> Al Maghrib, Nigeria and Tounes.
We'll see how thing go, 7 matches till things end and pleanty of time to reach the goal or fail it :)

PS Thanks for the updates in the forum Jordan :)

Yes I saw the first and the last one a few days ago now there's another one. I hope they are nice guys and will enjoy this game. I will send them some greetings tomorrow, now I don't have the strength to write too much ( 12 hours of driving...).
Going to set the match orders for U21 South Africa and hopefully our guys will triumph!

Al Maghrib U21 South Africa U21 115 - 105

Ahh, we lost :((
I guess the home advantage was the main reason he won because our teams don't have noticeable difference between players salary. We still got another match against them so maybe then we will get the win.
For now I will focus on the next game against Misr, the strongest U21 team from Africa so far... Right now we have 2 wins and 2 loses which is under my expectations and I take the blame for the results.
I can only hope to repay the faith of SA users and the guys that train our youngsters.
Good luck all!

I'm sorry. But now I believe that is more important that the few U 21 players of SA are training than win all the matches.It can happen that we lose some matches but for me and I believe also for the other users it' s not a big problem to lose against team that are at the same level.
Good luck for the match against MISR

Yes unfortunately we lost but to be honest we had slim chances for the win against Misr from the beginning :(
Things have gotten more complicated now and fighting for the 2nd place is probably as hard as fighting for the 1st place from the beggining.
I hope in our next games luck will smile upon us...

About the 2 FA, I will ask their new managers their plans and so on.
Looking on the bright side, South Africa NT has won last 2 games :P

Hello there,
Just wanted to say that I have come to the conclusion that U21 needs outside guys badly (PG/SG/SF) at this point. No matter what will the WCQ will be, in a few weeks almost all our outside guys will turn 21 :(
A few will probably have what it takes to continue to the South Africa NT and make it stronger (Jabulani Beye (4890891),Theo Weinstein (6069687),Lisimba Chimusasa (4890915), and Mangoba Boateng (6069676) have chances). I will talk at the end of the season with the current or the new manager in charge.
The thing is that we have a LOT of inside guys in our youth team (this is great news for the NT because there are practically none there) but then again we don't have enough outside guys... So I have decided to kick 3 of them (the recent FAs) and another one that has not improved for a long time and get 3 outside guys with hope that they will become FA soon.
Also there is not long until draft will take place, so I would kindly ask the SA managers to pick players that they are going to train (please don't take the chance of others that really want to train by taking a good player and keeping it in your roster untrained just because he has lots of dots...).
The game will start soon so I need to go enjoy it.
Good luck all,
Boss
