[QUOTE="smartcooky, post: 769475, member: 20605"] I really feel sorry for HM and his fellow coaches. Being the coach of a national side is hard enough without the additional burden of being subject to the political machinations of a corrupt government who stands over them with a whip to ensure they select a [I]"racially acceptable"[/I] team. It must be immensely frustrating to see good players they cannot select because they have to select a not so good player of colour to me et some insane racial quota, and worse yet, to see those players head overseas and start turning out for other countries because they cannot get a look in their own country due to the colour of their skin. Perhaps I am mistaken, but I always thought that the anti-apartheid campaigns of the 1980s and 90s had the demand for [U][I]"merit based selection"[/I][/U] as the cornerstone of their philosophy!
