It's here!!!! The World Cup has started.
Well, it finished 1-1.
I said earlier that the South Africans would need a huge dose of home advantage, and they look to have got that.
The first half was all Mexico, with the SA keeper making a superb reaction save from Franco, and another blinding save later in the game. In the second half the Mexicans couldn't maintain their domination of the possession, and the home side's first really convincing attack led to a goal that was either brilliant or a very lucky bit of hit and hope. Mexico always looked good value for an equaliser though, and as I mentioned, local desperation to keep the dream going led to a couple of really nasty looking last ditch tackles, and toward the end some very Wimbledon route one football. Mexico's goal was beautifully crafted, with Marques controling and placing the ball beautifully.
Right, now what time does the France game start?
