Can't wait, not much for the US team(hold your comments) as last World Cup left a lot to be desired by them. Hopefully it will be different this year. I enjoyed watching S. Korea, Brazil and Japan teams play. The Czek's were pretty good as well(play wise).

France lost to China(not in the World Cup final) 0-1 yesterday in a friendly tune-up game, the way they played in that game will not carry them pass the first round.

Watched the friendly, was pretty good, slow towards the end but a good game. Last goal with a few minutes in OT was well done.
Watched the short on South Africa and Robben Island shortly afterwards and I have to say it was a tear jerker. Those guys went through tough times and really make you appreciate the sport even more so than you might now.

I'll say. My youngest daughter wrote a detailed report on Mandela and soccer in SA. Lot of detail I had no idea about.
Anyway, easily the game could have be 4-1, the offside call was fairly lame.

It's on. Well not quite yet.
Not that cold. Mexico has elevation and practice through this cool winter. Mark it, Mexico will win. France may not.
Yep, the coverage starts at 6:30AM, and after that I will be up early!!!

South Africa vs Mexico 1-1, SA almost won.
Mexico was robbed. Defender standing in goal. Offside? Wah??
Oh well - the home opener record stands, amazing really.

robbed, not at all, if the player is standing int he goal and the goalie takes on the attacker, the player int he goal becomes the new "goalie" for offside purposes.
the south african goal was superb, did not see the mexican one.

You are correct.
The Mexican goal was a bit of a lapse on defense. I'm sure you can find it online, now is newshour here so they have been showing because of the amount of Mexican who reside here.
The France game was the low scoring affair. Interesting nonetheless.

I like to see American upset English in tomorrow game, but it's a wishful thinking.
Did Greece think Korea would be easy?
