SA loses 2 matches in WC but I'm satisfied for the look inside of the last match :D
Next match agains USA.

yeaaaaaaaah

Congrats! You guys played an awesome game.

Thanks :D

Sorry for the delay Jordan, both me and Dlight are caught in faculty studies all over our heads.. So with some delay CONGRATZ! I think this win is the first win against USA, so thumbs up! Great job with the NT managing. I hope the new players from U21 that will be over 21 will help you reach even higher goals!
Cheers!

We must forget about competitions and concentrate on building and training our players. Players that are from SA. I have seen that there are teams that don't have SA players in there line ups. This courses more damage to the National Teams. How can the Coaches build a team when the managers don't train SA players How?

Teams that have SA players and train them are overlooked WHY? Because the "Big Teams" don't care about the Nation Teams and buy foreigner players to make them look good.

We in SA can have the best coaches, but if the managers don't train there players or sell them for a profit, I say we will never win a competition

We must forget about competitions

Why? Training players is independent of playing the games on Mondays.

It's great to build for the future with effective training, sure, but there's no element of training that would force you to forsake the competitions to do so.

My problem is that there are some managers in SA that don't give a damn about the NT. Rather the build for the future they go for the quick fix, buying foreign players and selling youngsters. WHY?

Our National Teams will never be taken serious by other countries. Let a lone win competitions.

You can't force people to care about the NT - some people are just here to run their own teams the way they see fit.

I think I understand what you are trying to say... Because South Africa is one of the countries that has under 20 active teams it's really hard to compete with other teams with hundreds or thousands of players (at NT and U21 level). Due to the draft order priority, most of the good youth players go to weaker teams, usually teams that just were created, or teams that are in that chart position because they don't know or care how to play and train. Consider that most of the community doesn't even write(check) the forum or the game manual. So probably the best way to help the NT and U21 for these kind of teams is to sell them to other players rather then keep them untrained...
Also for the "big teams", that usually have higher expectations (wining the C'ship, Cup or participating in the B3) it is hard to rely on guys from South Africa with low potential that can't pass 10 points on their skills and have to compete against MVP players..
I don't know if you saw but some of us actually buy u21 players with higher potential (paying a lot more then players from other countries with same potential) just to help develop the youth team.
I hope on the future I'll get a good draft ^^
Cheers!

Thanks Boss Man for understanding my points and explaining.

Cheers!
