Today's newspaper headlines (Sowetan) read "Black Weekend for Giants"...this is after Kaizer Chiefs, Mamelodi Sundows and Orlando Pirates lost this weekend. Gone are the days when these soccer giants used to dominate the SA soccer fraternity. Kaizer Chiefs was not totally outplayed though, missed chances is what cost them the game against Supersport United. Once again I am calling for the retirement of Shaun Bartlett..
I was happy to see Jonathan Quartey back in the line and for the first time in a long while the Kaizer Chiefs defence had some form of shape!!Etrugal's job is now on the line after this weekend's defeat and the same goes for Gordon Igesund (actually he has been fired, see picture above). Owen da Gama on the other hand is safe because Pirates has been doing well with Mushangazike banging in those goals..to my surprise he has been appointed Captain of the team (or maybe that is just to boost his confidence)..then again da Gama had nothing to do with him being bought..So the question is "Did Irvin Khoza promise Mushangazike that he would be Captain if he signed?"...Anyway soccer was the Hero this weekend..Chelsea also tasted defeat against Tottenham in the Carling Cup final yesterday...Man U fans must be estatic after they also thrashed New Castle 5-1..Wow our soccer is really improving (in the world that is, not Mzantsi..)

Yes!!! I am one of those ManU fans who are ecstatic about the weekend result. They don't seem to disappoint me lately!
Its trully sad what our local players are doing though. If the so called "Giants"(Chiefs, Sundowns even Swallows) are doing poorly how are the smaller teams going to be motivated to do better!! There seems to be no zeal to excell in these big teams. I live on the hope though that this is only for a short season.. although that may end up meaning they(Chiefs) lose this "season".
P.S. I stil enjoy ur blog, I hope I'm not biased though Chao Mc... lol
