here goes !

Bafana Bafana and Blackburn Rovers striker Benni McCarthy has retired from international football. This was confirmed by Safa CEO Raymond Hack on Tuesday.

Earlier McCarthy had snubbed a call-up by stand-in national coach Pitso Mosimane to the Bafana Bafana squad that meets Congo Brazzaville on Saturday at the FNB Stadium.

An irate Hack said it was unacceptable that McCarthy allowed Mosimane to draft him in his plans when he was fully aware he was not coming.

“Benni wrote a letter informing us of his decision to retire from the national team. We accepted his resignation because we cannot force any player to turn out for his country. If a player does not want to play for his country, it is sad," Hack told SABC News.

Hack said McCarthy cited family and club commitments as his reason for dumping Bafana.

Safa announced on Monday that McCarthy had asked to be excused from the national team due to family problems, however, barely 24 hours later Hack disclosed from Cairo that the striker had in fact retired from international football and that the controlling body would not pursue the matter further.

McCarthy’s turn around comes in the wake of his promise to Mosimane that he would make himself available for Bafana’s all-important African Cup of Nations opening qualifier against Congo if he could be excused for the friendly against Namibia a fortnight ago.

McCarthy, who has been in fine form for his English side, Blackburn Rovers, was one of Mosimane’s key players for the match against the Congo.

Im sure Benny makes like R 400 K a week in England and coming here to a SLACK managed NT isnt worth his time ...

They get about R 15 000, Im sure he gets that but lunch time on a monday morning ...

Otherwise Benni's wife is pregnant ..with his second child !!!

Hence I feel Parreira appointment is justified I mean He will be able to locate talent and make sure that our under 20's are ready for international exposure.
Who knows we might get 3 pallokas fro Brazil to fill those 3 positions.

Hahahaha !!!

well well... well see hey .. But Id say we have enough rough talent here ... ting is in BRazil, a lot of their players grow up in Academy systems now ... its no longer a thing of just plucking a kid off the streets and he's a star.. players come from clubs and work their way up .. coaching from as young as 12 years ...

thisisnt no chappies league type stuff either ...

I checkd a documanetary on Brazilian footbal once ... very intresting

WISH , this one will need its OWN commision to sort out

But anyway, theres always 2sides to a story ...

I agree that it was important forBenny to STAND up for the players ...

Look @ SAFA managing to pay 1guyR 1.8milion but our Coaches and players are SQUEEZED @ a MUCH lower rate ... sometimes arent payd even ...

and told theres NO money , play for pride ...

NONSENCE !!!

well well, looks like we arent the only ones with 'TOP' players pulling out of games

- Former Kaizer Chiefs and now CS Maritimo Zambian striker Collins Mbesuma has been ruled out of Sunday’s Ghana 2008 Africa Nations Cup qualifier against Chad in N’djamena.

According to his club’s website, Mbesuma has been ruled out of the match after failing to secure a visa to enable him travel from Portugual where he is based to Chad.

Mbesuma had left his base on Monday for England where he had gone to sort out personal issues and was later to connect to Chad, but has since returned to Portugal after failing to obtain a visa.

Mbesuma is expected to join the rest of the Maritimo squad in training tomorrow in preparation for the team’s next match against Pacos De Ferreira.

According to manager Ulisses Morais, the former Amakhosi hitman will be available for selection as he has received his International Transfer Certificate (ITC).

Mbesuma missed Maritimo's first league, home game against Nacional which he side won 1-0 as he was yet to be issued with the ITC.

well we drew ...

but B4 we get out daggers out ... I must say .. the second half showed PROMISE.. and that we must start looking byond Benni and co ...

Our defence wasnt realy tested , but a good thing is that SO far we havent conceded in 2 games .. but our defence will need to be testd sometime ...

then our boys will hav 2 come back from behind ... these things hav2b learned ...

the 2nd half was promising as we srtartd pressing MORE and looked dangerous ...

Tso , Rasilimane ...Nkosi ... those gys came on and we were BUZZIng ...

Maybe Pienaar needs to come off the bench ... Katshelgo ddnt hav 2 much chances...

NOmvethe is a waster of note .. Id think perhaps playing him behind the front man in a free role rather than a pure striker would b his thing

another thng Tso's goal was legit !!! The refs are screwing us again on our HOME ground !!

PS : I think our managent/SAFA/Top PEOPLE must start exerting PRESSure and using untoward tactics on these guys now ...just to influnce the game a bit .. THEY DO IT !! Y SHOULD WE B FAIR !?!?

otherwise , Im encouraged, we'r building and imporving ...NO NEED to go change things DRASTICALLY.. but now we need to start scoring MUCH more now .. and we'l b on track ..

CONGO is a shyt team
Consistency
Pitso is a bit clueless
