More so, because this team is in a position Bafana Bafana were in, in 1996 before something terrible happened and it was completely downhill from then on until even qualifying for this men’s version of this biennial tournament became impossible.On a closer inspection, there are striking similarities between the successes of the Banyana Banyana team of 2022 and Bafana Bafana team of 1996.
Also, very critical to point out about this unstoppable group of players is the fact most of those players were not products of the so-called professional football academies or development structures that we have in abundance today. Those were players who had grown up playing football in their respective townships and villages without much coaching and their development was mostly guided by how they themselves felt comfortable playing this game.
Banyana is largely under-resourced just as the men’s game was in the 90s. Despite Hollywood Bet’s intervention, the female football players from national, to provincial and regional league clubs still train late in the afternoon and in the evenings with players who have to go to their respective jobs first, with many relying on stipends for the days they spend in camp and not receiving any salaries.
Things took a completely wrong turn for Bafana Bafana in the late 90s and the downward spiral was evident into the 2000s. This with a national team that was huffing and puffing, eventually failing to score a single goal at the 2006 Afcon. This was, four years later, followed by failure to qualify for the 2010 edition despite preparing to host the World Cup, which the team had qualified for as hosts, and going on to become the first-ever host country to be knocked out of the tournament.
When will they play against real women's teams who can play soccer .......England, Germany, Spain, Netherlands, etc etc ......
If we can b lyk brazil, stick to our own. Bt d problem is dat even if they hire south african coachies they hire the wrong peaple who dnt deserve e.g the nation wanted the South african coach, jordan and his crew hired Molefi Ntseki whom we ddnt even knw who d guy was 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I think that will be don't relay too much on foreign coaches,with local we have reach the summit . By hiring foreign coaches we are undermining ourselves not believing in our efforts . Bafana bafana got the silverware via local . localislekker
KingKAzania One glaring fault is the male counter parts can't string passes together. The old rule still stands, if you haven't got procession of the ball, you can't score.
KingKAzania Only TheRealPitso can bring the might glory to Bafana Bafana .
