They just keep their heads below the parapet and keep printing cash. In SA they can't flex at all or a Malema will liberate what they have.
They take a long term view of things I guess, they can afford to.

That youngster was silly to make a statement, South Africans are a volatile lot.

Ya I'll take a friendly bet with you. I think this is the weakest side we've had. Had decent prep though.
Can't be the weakest side googly. The earlier sides haven't really done well anyways and I can see that the current lot is competing well. I don't know individually about these players but I'm surely hopeful of a better show.

I think the difference this time is they have had a lot more preparation. Let’s see if they make it count

There are a few really good individuals in this squad but there are a lot of filler/passengers. As a whole package the squad is less talented than 2022 and most of the squads before. Unfortunately the next batch coming through after this looks even weaker.

Like we say though they’ve actually had some good prep so they might do okay. We need the 3-4 really good players to perform on the day and cover up the weaker guys.

finances are pretty much controlled by the Jews. They fly under the radar, but they are the money in SA.

Since SA announced their support of Hamas and took Israel to the ICC R1.4 trillion rand has been withdrawn from SA.
That's enough to put a massive dent in their already bankrupt economy.
195 countries on the planet and SA choose to be the ones to make a statement. I guess since they themselves kill Zimbabweans and continue to practice apartheid they feel they're well placed.

Malema's crew will as a fact hire a crowd to disrupt this WC at some point.
