That was shite. Mexico and south Africa ftw.

At least the Koreans are up next, they're always top value.
 
Missed the opening game and then raced back home to catch the second half of France v Uruguay. What a fucking shit game.
 
The 1st half of SA v Mexico was so dull I switched over to Countdown for some excitment. At least Geoff Stelling can talk a good game......
 
The second half was brilliant.
Safe to say it wasn't a vintage first day.
But then Senegal 1 - 0 France the curtain raiser in j and k was fucking awful.
 
Based on one game I'd be looking to buy the Uruguay left back (Perreira or something). He had an excellent game. Fast, lovely cross, tall, athletic and didn't give the French wingers a sniff. I haven't a clue who he plays for but he'd doubtless be cheap and would be an anti-Insua.

It is the beebs technicians sorting the vevuzelas (sp) sound levels, they increase when they move the sound mics for corners & set pieces.

Maybe they are, but you will also find that there are more vuvuzelas at the JHB and Durban games than in Cape Town.

Also, the crowd for the second game had relatively few South Africans attending.

Looked a decent player.

So did the midfield tackler, who stuck hist foot in, short and bald..
 
Ah right, I've kinda tuned them out now so I'm not overly fussed, just occasionally makes it hard to make out the commentary, which is annoying when watching at home.
 
That's pretty much how I feel about it. Pity in a way 'coz I was glad the tournament was awarded to an African country, but I guess you have to take the rough with the smooth.

Did you see the reports on the financial end of the deal ? it's the only reason it was awarded to South Africa.

SA get none of the TV, Sponsorship or ticket revenues, but get to foot the bill for all the of the stadiums. FIFA make 2.1 billion from the tournament - which SA agreed not to tax - and SA foots a bill of about one billion.

Add in the fact that only half of the expected numbers are travelling and SA have fucked themselves over to host the World Cup.

Watched something about that the other day, had a lot of African charities highlighting how much it was costing the country & how little return they were getting. Add in to the fact thousands have been moved into housing reminiscent of the Apartheid slums, even being locked in every night with no police force, & it's a fucking disgrace.
 
Yeah, similarly, I dont think the true story behind it will be publicised until after the event. At which point we'll hear how widespread & shocking their mistreatment has been.
