This means that it is still wide open and there will be a lot of interest in
this next game. This is sure to be an interesting encounter so make sure you

Uruguay played France in their opening match and neither side were able to find
the back of the net. To make matters more frustrating Uruguay's Nicolas Lodeiro
became the first player in the 2010 World Cup to get a red card - a dubious
honour. Overall Uruguay probably played the better game and they did come the
closest to scoring. They know that another draw against South Africa will not
suffice so expect plenty of attacking football on Wednesday.
South Africa came close to their first win of the competition and it took a late
minute equalizer by Mexico to shatter this dream start. South Africa used
the home advantage and the crowd certainly lifted their spirits. A final 1-1 result
is actually not that bad a result given who they were playing, but there is no
doubting the disappointment felt by the team and fans. Many have predicted that
South Africa could be the first hosts to be knocked out in the group stage but
those same people might be later eating their words. The goal by Siphiwe Tshabalala
was pure class and shows what South Africa is capable of producing.
Group A could still go to any of the four teams but hopefully this next set of
matches will put some shape in the group. This match between the hosts South Africa
and Uruguay is promising to be a real spirited affair and what happens
here might determine the final outcome of the group. Make sure that you don't
