Winning a medal, not gold, with South Africa will be a major success. Roster has limits and tricky strengths, but new rules about blank lineup will require some test as team will behave differently than in the past. I will be keen on sharing my thoughts with my successor.
A relatively broad DB includes currently all players making sense under NT perspective. I am leaving active the current "best list" of 17 players in the roster, not all mature for NT yet but all requiring a bit of attention. I can provide a separate list (badly formatted due to extraction from DB) of all players 23y or more. List should be extended with U22, as I frankly hadn't time in last few months - the main reason to leave this NT.
As I stated in my "memories", this roster can last one or two mandates maximum, so point action on ALL promising single players is mandatory to survive in mid term: this is the thing I mostly recommend. In last 3 mandates, and in my past U21 mandate/scouting experience, Ebene is the only local manager regularly responding. Diego10 is for sure a Spanish-SouthAfrican kind of manager with the passion he put on Themba Sebe (not the best player, the best is Motihala
). You need loads of patience.
@Ebene: my favourite animal is cat, no doubt. Why haven't you asked me in the past!??
