With all respect to the above named, it's really too bad SA can't do a better job in reviewing notable defensive performances. It appears the only selection criteria is who scored goals, including the defender named this week. Last time I looked, the game was played with a least three defenders and IMHO there should be at least three named each week. If SA can't find three notable defensive performances each week, the IMHO these weekly accolades are superficial at best and produced more to meet a deadline than to actually do the due diligence required to make a list like this more meaningful.

Hear hear, Matt! Last week's Team of the Week would have formed a 1-4-5, as I recall, and this week it's 1-3-6. Probably should be called goalscorers of the week rather than team of the week.

To Matt & Mary: Thank you for pointing this out. For some reason SA is stuck in neutral and can't seem to get the selection processes in gear, not just in reporting about an all-around team, but also in other areas.
