Next round of matches is a long way away: 22 March 2013.

Group A. lolwut?

Yeah! Coach got sacked after first result (draw with Ethiopia). They left the assistant as caretaker coach for the next match and they drew against Botswana. Bloody pathetic. Ethiopia and Botswana are both ranked well over 100+ and we can't beat either one.

The SA FA have a shortlist of 5 candidates for the post and should announce something by month end. Gordon Igesund should have got the job years ago, so hopefully they'll give him the chance this time. If not him, I'd be okay with Gavin Hunt.

Whoever they pick will have 9 months to turn things around. He'd better do a complete clean out of staff though, and maybe players as well!

But Botswana classified to African Cup Of Nations, i think they were improving their quality, am i wrong?

Botswana did well to qualify but at the tournament itself their results were:

Lost 0-1 vs Ghana
Lost 1-6 vs Guinea
Lost 1-2 vs Mali
