Bafana door not shut for Benni McCarthy

Jul 27, 2012 | Marc Strydom | 32 comments

BENNI McCarthy stands as much chance as any other striker in the Absa Premiership of being selected for Bafana Bafana if he is performing - no more, no less, says Bafana Bafana coach Gordon Igesund.

He must swallow the pride first. he cnnot be coached by a less rich coach compared to him. Gordon is poor compared to benni. Gordon leave that rich boy alone.

If Italy go to world cup in Germany with Aged Players and win world cup why not RSA.How may Teams play with youth and win titles.Teams that keep on building end up losing players to Big spenders like R madrid and Chelsea etc.Gordon deserve Bells

i couldnt agree with u more, let this be the guy b the 1 2 bring BAFANA back 2 its GLORY days, a BAFANA TEAM purely selected on merit and ability and not big name FLOPS, the cherry ontop is that we havent heard MR GORDON mumbling SH*T about building nor continuity from where PITSO left off ,which is a big plus because our BAFANA is not a development team but our NATIONAL PRIDE ... i can wait 2 see his 1st squad ... he is singing the right tune so far.. all HAIL our special one !!!

Makati being the motivator and a talent seeker of young strikers in SA + our support I forsee SA Team moving foward . Looking at how our Pitso has been , so biased and one sided, now I wanna shift a slight blame from benny for being rude , Pitso must have done or said something.

Poor people has a tendency of hating the rich instead of coming closer and seek for advice.


Rise Bafana Rise

Give Gordon a Bells.

ONCE AND ALWAYS.

That indeed is a true indictment of the sad state of our football if we consider calling up grannies who at some stage knew how to score goals. our soccer players score two goals in a comp. then become celebrities, raping and sleeping with underage girls, instead of scoring on the football field. sis man we need a total rethink of how we play soccer. ukuba angisiyo inkomo ngabe .........

He's too fat for international football. It's like saying, ok lets bring back Bradley Carnell...he's past it.
Fukk McCarthey. He should have been primed for the World Cup but no he was fat and unfit. Chop! He really doesn't deserve a place, he's let us down too many times. Lets stop this stupid debate, he's finished!
