That's kinda weird, seeing as how the USA purchased more tickets for World Cup matches than any other nation.
I love vuvuzela's. Sure they're loud and take some getting used to, but they're such a big part of South African football. It's just one more thing that makes this World Cup so uniquely African. It would be a terrible shame if they were
to get banned...it would spoil the World Cup, at least for me.
As for SA vs Mexico, I thought our team played well and could well have won the game, but the Mexicans could easily be saying the same thing. It was mostly one-way traffic in the first 20 mins with Mexico dominating possession and SA unable to string 3 passes together. The next game is definitely a must-win for Bafana.
Germany looked a class act last night and will definitely be a tough team to beat. Muller impressed with his composure and off-the-ball runs...would love to see him vs Messi at some point in the tournament.
I can't wait for the Nederland game this afternoon, even though I'll have to watch it at work with no beer, answering my phone in between. I'm expecting a good performance from van Persie and Elia. Go Oranje!
