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.
