I see Bafana Bafana getting 1 more, but it won't be enough.
I'm thinking a PK, late.
Uruguay is still dominating for the most part, I want a goal.

OHSportsFan9;1720819; said:For sure. South Africa need to focus on getting 2 (to at least make sure the French don't sneak one in and make it 4-1). They can do it. France is down a man for the next 45 and they may as well be down 11. They are toast.
Mmmm......french toast

It was actually some good coaching by the French lame duck...Malouda and Henry have stopped the bleeding in the second half.

Done.
Mexico and Uruguay will go through.
And France scores their first goal of the tournament, avoiding a USA/France '98 type of performance (1 goal in 3 games). Damnit.

Well, hopefully Uruguay holds on so they win the group. Mexico would then have to play Argentina in the round of 16.
Screw this CONCACAF stuff, I hate Mexico.

Example #1254199176 why I dislike Mexico.
There was a minor run-in on a 50/50 ball. Uruguay's Forlan tries to show some sportsmanship in the beautiful game after the play and gives Mexico captain Torrado a little hug around the head, smiling.
Mexico turns it into a big deal and starts a scuffle.

Is anyone really impressed by any African nation in this tournament? IMO - they've been terrible*
All of them underperform and play "0" defense. I can't believe they conceeded down a man to France.
Ghana looks like the only team that might go through and only because they are total floppers. All their goals are on PK!
*I'll give Ivory Coast a pass since their group is a beast.

Just to briefly comment on how much I hate the way Mexico plays soccer. As anyone who watches any US vs. Mexico games knows, Mexico is one of the dirtiest soccer teams in the world. In the Uruguay game, they are showing their true colors again with their dirty challenges and general lack of class. I root for all CONCACAF teams except Mexico. The way Mexico plays is a reason why so many Americans don't like soccer.

I said at the outset I didn't expect any of them to get out of their groups...I am actually a bit surprised Ghana is in the position they are in, but it does look like they will be the only ones.
