The Streak Continues

The host nation has never lost a World Cup Opener. South Africa will not be the first as they tied Mexico 1-1 at Soccer City. After playing a tense first half in which Mexico dominated possesion, the game opened up in the second. Siphewe Tshabalala opened the scoring in the 55th minute with a scorching shot from distance into the top right corner. A South African marking problem on the back post led to an easy goal by Rafael Marquez to draw level. All in all a dissapointing reult for both squads. Mexico came is as the clear favorite yet South Africa missed many opportunities in the second half.

In other news, I am a perfect 1-0 is my bold predictions with a 1 correct score. I should retire now.

Bold Predictions: Opening Day

South Africa vs Mexico

In the opening match, we have El Tri playing the host nation of South Africa. Expect to hear a lot of what sound to be bee's on your set. The vuvuzela will be out in force as the organizers are giving them away for free outside of the stadium. The host nation has never lost an opener yet South Africa is ranked 83rd, the lowest of any host nation. Mexico will definitely recieve a boost from the return of centre back Rafael Marquez. This should be a very interesting match to watch as this is a must win game for both teams.

Prediction: 1-1 (tie)

Uruguay vs France

France has not looked good at all as of late. Without the Hand of Gaul, the French wouldn't be in South Africa. That being said they certainly have the talent to make another deep run. Uruguay shouldn't have a problem scoring led by striker Diego Forlan. Forlan and four teamates have accounted for 7 goals in Uruguay's last two friendlies. France will look better but it won't be enough.

Prediction: Uruguay 3-1
