Thanks guys, also for u21 we had a lucky win but it was nice to see it happen :)
Things are getting harder and harder to qualify for WC directly from African Cup but there is still hopes with the recent win. Practicaly we have to win all games if South Africa is to get 2nd place. Now we have another hard game and I hope the lads can recuperate in time.

Jordan I will give you the improvements at the end of the season don't worry ;)

Tounes U21 South Africa U21 112 - 113

Well you can say lady luck is smiling upon us :) We are still capable to qualify for the WC. In order to do that we need to win against Nigeria. Next week we will have a break so to speak, I'm sure the team will not cause us problems.
So what better time for the owners of SA U21 players to train hard then this :P

The thing about buzzerbeater that I don't really enjoy is that if a team from a less competitive continent (like Africa or Asia) qualifies in the WC, will probably get less points (for NT ranks, due to the stronger teams from Europe) then one that doesn't qualify and starts playing scrimmages (assuming it doesn't loose them all). I think the best way to resolve this is by boosting a teams points in the rankings once it made it to the WC...

So what would you do? Go for the WC and the glory of getting there without winning a game or stay back home and raise your rankings through scrimmages? :)

As I said before my objective was to qualify the team for WC, so I don't have any excuses if I fail. ;)

See you soon and train hard!
Boss

Congratulations for the win Boss Man!
SA has good chances to improve the position in the Standings.
I believe next match it's quite easy and the last match is the most important.

Today 18/05/2009 20.00 Al Jazair U21 South Africa U21

Al Jazair lost all the matches in the Africa Competition.
I believe that we don't have any problem because our players are better than the players of Al Jazair(Best player have 10 k and 7 k of salary) and also an other thing good for SA is the Game Shape of the players of Al Jazair that is not good.
And also if you look at the some of their matches (5725),(5178), you can see that we probably don't have any problem .
Good luck for the match Boss MAn

Exactly what I was thinking but to some point in the 3rd quarter they almost matched us on the score table :)
All good in the end and now we have the last game against Nigeria were all is possible.
We have to beat Nigeria to have mathematical chances to qualify to the WC. If not we go in the second pool for qualification and probably there it's going to be even harder since we meet the teams from Europe...
Go South Africa!

This is it guys. It's the final game against Nigeria. If we want to keep the hopes to qualify directly from the African Groups we need to win. Winning is essential this time but not sufficient as there will probably be 3 teams with the same results in this case so basically.
I still think we can make a very competitive U21 team we just need the right players to get to the right managers :)
It's been very hard but with the help of my fellow South African guys (and some from outside that did a great job training our guys) we did a pretty good job.

Well the African Cup has ended for us sadly... Really hoped for 1st or 2nd place at the beginning but seems we will have to accept a sadly 4th place...
The team has to prepare for the 2nd round of qualification to the WC which I think it is going to be even harder then the African Groups..
Now I will dismiss all the guys that have 21y old since I cannot use them and in order to get them out of the team before the enthusiasm reset.
Some off them will jump to the NT some won't but they all have potential to make it there if trained properly.
The guys I propose for the NT are:Jabulani Beye (4890891), Theo Weinstein (6069687), and Lisimba Chimusasa (4890915) - the last one has a lot to improve to be a real center but as I knew South Africa NT is in a bad need of inside guys so he could help.
I hope the draft will bring us boys to pick from and future stars.

Well I believe you have do the greatest for this season.I
Also in my opinion the 2nd round of qulification to he WC it' harder than African Competition because surely SA meets teams that are better than Tounes,Al Jazair ,Al Maghrib.So it's very hard

Now I will dismiss all the guys that have 21y old since I cannot use them and in order to get them out of the team before the enthusiasm reset.

I don't know skills of the NT player and I've the skills of Beye and the others two update at the half of the season.

Also I believe that Chimusasa could have possibility to go to NT because there are few C and PF.
I hope that Chimusas has different pops during the seasons.
To concern Beye and Weinstein I hope that they has pops respectively in JS and OD .But I believe that actually different players like Mhlaba,Makalakalane and some others are better(I can only see the salary )

Now SA must hope in a good Draft.

Bye

You have to take into consideration the potential of the players. I agree with you Mhlaba and Makalakalane are the best out there (they are my guys ^^) but I don't think they can get any better... This season I got only around 3 skill pops for each (in a hole season!) although they got 48min training every week with level 6 trainer...
So Jabulani and Theo can be a great asset to the NT due to their potential and if trained for sure they can be better then Mhlaba or Makalakalane.
This season that comes I will have a total new game strategy and I hope it will work for me. I hope I can win the PO and get to the BBB with Boss :)
