No spin on that ball for that goal. Kick it flat and the light ball does the work for you.
Same conditions for everyone so isn't it irrelvant?


Sort of. It does mean there would be more unpredictable movement. Imagine a bit of wind can do.AllWhitebelievr2010-06-12 03:30:10

SA looking tired.  Mexico could pinch a goal - which would be harsh IMO.

What was Mokoena doing there?(for the goal)
Should have pushed up.

Why did he not shoot from that range rather than cross it?

Full time. 1-1. Great game to start the tournament. Off to get a couple zzzz's then back for Uruguay v France. Hope it's half as good.

1-1 draw folks. There was a lot of exciting moments on the field.

Good game, Mexico looked completely a class a above at the start but South Africa got back into it. And in the end played a very convincing counter-attack style. Gutted I put money on Mexico though.

Great game, probably the right result, although it would have been awesome to see Bafana do it.

See you all at the next thread in a couple of hours!

Good game.

I hate TVNZ with a passion. Go die.

We will never fully decide who has won the football.

Cracking first match. SA were a lot more fluid in midfield (after the first 10 or so) than I was expecting. Group A looks pretty open at the moment.

Will it be the usual draw for the opening game? Or not.


Yes.

That SA goal from Tshabalala was top drawer.
A proud moment for SA and for Bafana Bafana, not quite their dream start, but creditable performance.

  Improving,,on the up, a work in progress from Italiano and the Nix. Bring on the bathroom bling in '24! COYN!

Mexico showed some nice touches at times but to progress out of this group, they have to do something about their "dodgy keeper, dodgy keeper"
