South African Soccer dreams

A new coach has vowed to help South Africa qualify for the World Cup. Pitso Mosmane has joined with the Premier Soccer League in hope that they can train a team to qualify in 2014. Mosmane was the former assitant coach of the South African squad before being promoted to head coach. South Africa hosted the world cup this year, which was a great accomplishment for the country. South Africa has not had a social event this largest since the apartied movement.
In Mosmane's plan to create a team, he wants at least two players under the age of 23 to start in all the matches. He also believes the number of players from overseas should be limited.
I believe South Africa should have had a team to represent themselves in the 2010 World Cup. It seems almost ridiculous that the country hosting the event did not have a squad participating. I suppose the lack of participation may have been a safety issue to reduce the riots within the country and stadium. I hope Mosimane's dream of creating a wonderful team comes true. GOAL South Africa!
