Quota system will end Bok glory days - Mains

Are you happy with Bafana?
I'm ashamed of them but my shame has nothing to do with the amount of melanin in the players' skin. I'm ashamed of them because they suck.

I don't even think their sucking is an individual player talent thing. The entire management structure in our national football team is so toxic that the team is not going to perform until all those turds are flushed.
 
Of course I am.

We're 100 places above NZ and they're all-white!:crylaugh:

Football in New Zealand is at best their 4th most popular sport. Apples with apples. Why not compare us to Argentina? Their football side is ranked #1 and their rugby side beat us.

NZ has 4.7 million people and soccer is at best the 3rd most popular sport (behind rugby, cricket).
SA has 54 million people and soccer is the most popular sport.

You're comparing proteas with ferns.

Good.

The world is one weird place.

NZ has an all-white soccer team but they rank 174th in the world and our beloved Bafana ranks 73rd.
This isn't about comparing our sporting teams to New Zealand. It is about comparing our sporting teams to the best in the world. In rugby that is New Zealand, in football it isn't. Apples with apples mate, you're doing apples with oranges.

Also that you're happy with our nation sitting at 73rd in international football rankings as though that is an achievement to be proud of is so very sad.

so a country's most popular sport should rank the highest internationally?

No wonder everything is falling apart in this country if you judge your success against those that are ranked lower than you, rather than higher.
