The Quadrennial Global Round-Ball Extravaganza
Darke:
Gotta feel for South Africa. I had my head in my hands when that shot bounced off the post.
This is why I love the World Cup. Take two teams, neither of whom are known for playing particularly good football, yet somehow because it's the World Cup they manage to create a fantastic game of football. Tshabalala's goal was absolutely perfect.
Inlander:
Hey now, Mexico usually manage to produce a pretty high standard at World Cups. They just don't win very much. They're like the Portugal of the Americas.
the_pied_piper:
I think the draw was the fair result in the end although I must admit I was wishing that last chance to go in for South Africa to start in a flash of glory.
Mexico are known as a decent footballing team though and have been for a while. Sure, they don't play the glittering football of their South American counterparts nor the tactical football of the better European nations but they have great confidence with the ball at their feet and are always an attacking threat. Defensively though, they are pretty pants.
StaedlerMars:
I was fully expecting South Africa to lose so I am happy with this result.
Patrick:
Just sucks for them they gotta continue hosting the event after such an early defeat. At least in '06 everybody had the courtesy to let Germany get to the semis.
I'm still pissed about THAT loss, man, 4 years apparently isn't long enough between World Cups for me to get over my grudges.
