4 million whites, 40 million blacks. I know a few arrogant Aussies & Kiwis. You know the ones that don't live in SA

Before anybody jumps up and down and says this is racist, I'll point out that I'm only referring to the people I know, not the whole people group, and I'm the only one qualified to speak for those I know as I suspect I'm the only one on here who knows them.

yea to be fair i havnt met a south african who wasnt arrogant
 
 




Most are, but I do know many who are really genuine and humble. In fact some of the nicest people I know are Saffas (don't let that taint your judgment of me). But the stereotype most often fits!

The one team's fans who are sh*tting me off the most at the moment are the English. Their arrogance knows no bounds! To many of them, every other team is making up the numbers and England is destined to win the cup, just like every four years! They're making it really hard to support England, which I do. So supporting South Africa is easy for me in comparison to backing England.

I'm picking this one will go the dull 0-0 draw. I really hope SA do well in the WC - it would give such a boost to all those millions of poor South Africans who are scraping by day to day. You'd have to think that a huge amount of money has been siphoned off to pay for this whole shebang which could've gone towards health, education, etc, so at the very least they deserve some pay off.
 
That's just me being sanctimonious.

OK, I stand corrected then. Just too lazy to remember what happens at the first game.
