its 0-0 at halftime. Hope the gods will be with SA in the second half as well!!

54 mins GOAL South Africa 1-0 Mexico (Tshabalala)

78 mins GOAL South Africa 1-1 Mexico (Marquez)....and not looking good at all!!

how i wish egypt made it to the world cup!

Decent performance by South Africa but i'm still not impressed, Mexico controlled possession from the start....Where were S.A forward players? Modise & Tshabalala are both midfield players but they were the ones doing all the attacking.

I also think France should have fired their coach before the world cup...the guy has been making so many mistakes. Why did he leave out Benzema...Why put Henry & Malouda on the bench...Why put Evra (first world cup) as Captain....why Govou...WHY? The man of the match in last night's match with Uruguay was Abou Diaby.

The Vela goal was indeed offside. Two people have to be between you and the goal. In most circumstances the goalkeeper is the last man but it can be any two players. In this case only one man was between him and the goal when the ball was played therefore it was offside.

Willin2learn....Unlike Evra, a captain is usually someone who has all the players respect,i have no issues with his performance as a player. Some members of the French squad demanded for Henry to be included in the starting 11 but the coach opted of the ineffective Govou

@Taz,
Mexico were denied a goal....The "third" player was not and did not interfere with play.....NOTE:As the cross came in,the keeper was in position and only left afterwards.....unfortunately, the referee's confusion is final.Mexico will advance as they have good strikers.I really like that Do Santos kid.Has the pace but needs to keep his shots low.Doesn't he remind me of Ronaldinh?o

France played without purpose and i can't understand why Benzema and Malouda never started the game.....Who in his right mind still thinks Govou is a player?It's early exit for them.

the offside rule states

the call was on the level. the second last opponent was the goalie in this call.
