What is wrong with the Zebras?

After a disastrous campaign in the qualifiers for the Africa Cup of Nations 2010 and a shattered COSAFA Cup dream, the Zebras once again failed to redeem themselves in the CHAN qualifiers against a South African side consisting some over the hill players on Sunday. This underlined their poor form in recent years.

The Zebras drew 0-0 in Gaborone before their exit was formalised with a 2-1 return leg defeat in Germiston on Sunday. In 21 months, the Zebras have only won two competitive matches, against Swaziland and Seychelles. It might sound too harsh to judge them on the time that has passed since their last victory since there are not too many national team competitions but the Zebras have simply been pedestrian.
