I hate to agree with you, but to get to the next round is an almost insurmountable task for Bafana. I only say almost because I still have this glimmer of hope, and I'm dreading us going down in the history books as the first host nation to get booted out in the 1st round.
They played as if Uruguay were ranked 1000th in the world. Gave the midfielders way too much space to run and time to make decisions. Teko and Pienaar should've been subbed at half time with Surprise and Parker. The defense was scrambling for most of the game and when they did get the ball, they just gave it back to their opponents with an attempted long ball or hasty clearance.
And as pissed off as I am at the team for playing so kak, I'm even more pissed at the fans who left the stadium early. WTF?! So now we only support teams who win or draw? Disappointing SA, really disappointing.
