Quick Half-time blog for the South Africa vs. Mexico opener: (I'll post more completely after the game)
The match so far has been less than impressive. Bafana Bafana, far from being lifted up by the sound of vuvzelas and 90,000 fans seemed more like they were a bunch of middle-schoolers terrified of asking the girls to dance, while Mexico acted like the high schooler that had to shave twice a day. The only one who really seemed to be awake at the wheel was Itumeleng Kuhne, who saved RSA's fat in two pants-wettingly tense moments. The only other people looking out for the hosts were the line coaches who called a bevy of offside offenses against dos Santos and the rest of the Mexican offense. Then at 42 minutes, it all changed with a corner kick from Tschabalala and it was RSA that suddenly seemed to be possessed of all the energy in possibility. So far though it hasn't been the most impressive display of football I have ever seen. Let's see how the next half is.
Not much better at this point...
