Football legend Jomo Sono says SA is struggling as a footballing nation purely because only few players ply their trade abroad. "It's like a drop of water in the ocean. You don't feel its impact when it comes to Bafana Bafana," said Sono. Speaking during a press conference in Johannesburg yesterday where Sono announced that four of his under-23 players would leave for Brazil to join Gremio's second team, the Jomo Cosmos owner/coach revealed his frustration over Bafana's struggle to qualify for the Africa Cup of Nations .
"Just look at the squad of 1996 which won the Nations Cup, the one that went to the World Cup in France in 1998 as well as that which qualified for the 2002 World Cup in Japan-South Korea - they comprised mainly of overseas-based players," Sono said.
