Why Mosimane must not add more confusion to the already identity-less SA football via SABCNewsOnline

In his post-match interview, Mosimane was quoted as saying, “A good game … just upset with one thing that happened on the pitch; not good for football. It’s my opinion, okay? … You know, it’s good for Maimane Phiri’s Games and Baba Mthethwa’s Games. We love it. Probably, it’s going to be the flavour of the moment, kasi flavour, but it’s the way it is. I don’t want to criticise or kill the youngster because he had a good game, but it’s okay.

You see, for many years, local football has endured lack of identity. The situation is currently so dire that we are not just a footballing nation without a playing philosophy, but we have begun showing tendencies of hating anything that once was the little that offered that little bit of identity. That is dangerous as that could sink our football further down the pit of hopelessness.

The tournaments that Mosimane is talking down on, the Maimane Phiri and Baba Mthethwa games, have more spectators than some of the PSL matches. Ask yourself why? You want to argue football has changed and that it’s business? Yes, you are right, and the fans are business and if you can understand why those off-season games have more fans than some PSL and Bafana Bafana matches, then you are on track to luring fans back to the stadiums and offering an apology to Makaringe.

You see, this more just football. It is the new world order. “Free them from their chains, but keep their minds.” Those are signs Mosimane is depicting with his “opinion.” A friend has argued, “Showboating is bad? What about Zidane and Messi doing the shibobo on the opposition every single match? Skilling is an everyday art of football. Who decides what is showboating? For what reason? Distraction is an integral part of the game and knee-balls and pivots are done every day to distract. If it is deliberate time-wasting then it is a matter of first the coach to deal with his player and also for the referee to determine if it is intended to delay the match.
