South Africa Topples Tounes Twice

After beating Tounes just a few weeks ago. The rematch went exactly as expected. South Africa controlled the game from the very beginning and Tounes looked tired and outmatched. With Tounes coming off of a Crunch Time last game, our balanced attack dismantled them at every opportunity. While this game was by no means our best performance, a lot of players certainly got in on the fun.

South Africa had 8 players score 10+ points and no players scored more than 19 points (L. Ncube). We held Tounes to under 100 points for the second time and came away with the 114-90 victory!

Next up, South Africa (5-2) will face off with Al Jazair (4-3). By winning this game, we would lock ourselves into at worst the 2nd seed entering semi-finals. In our first matchup against Al Jazair, we won 125-98.

Thanks Sandy! Hopefully third time is the charm, they’ve been the biggest struggle for us.

South Africa loses to Senegal Again

Sadness. Season 58 ends with a third loss to Senegal after the quick turnaround, the lineup was a mess and our team paid for it dearly. Senegal moves onto the finals matchup with Al Maghrib. South Africa is done for the season.

I'm surprised by the strategies : OI + Inside Box and One. Really ?
I must admit I haven't used them enough with my team, but it didn't seem to work.
Can you explain the choice please ? Thank you. :)

Hello Sandy,

Unfortunately I am on vacation right now and forgot that semifinals run early Friday morning for me, not on Monday like the rest of the season. This is something I’m usually very aware of, but let it slip my mind as I’ve been doing stuff at a conference today.

The tactics were just still set from last week, which is why we also did not run the starting lineup that I wanted to. We started Ndaba who dropped to 6 GS which hurt us dearly. I was planning on going PtB M2M with a more ideal lineup, but I dropped the ball on it. Very disappointing for me and the team as a whole. I think with the desired lineup, we have a better shot and might have even won.

Hi,
I checked the TL.
At the moment, there are 2 rookies who could be trained for U21:
(51528141) - TSP 57 - age 19 - Pot 7.
(51529166) - TSP 59 - age 19 - Pot 7.
Do you know a manager who might be interested?

Those are both average prospects, but I do not currently know a specific manager who is looking for trainees outside of A Warrior, who could in theory pick one of them up, but there are better prospects that are rostered right now, that may be hitting the TL soon. I am training U21 bigs for South Africa so we should be set up nicely there for next season.
