Well they don't have a chance anyway, so they might as well enjoy the experience!

I hope all the African teams do well as it will make for a better atmosphere and a better tournament as a whole.

For tomorrow I predict:

South Africa 2 Mexico 1
Uruguay 1 France 1

Don't say that. If you look at the history you can see that the host has always made it quite well. All of them have made it through the first round at least. I'm not saying that South Africa will win the gold medal, but they might stop a few other countries on their way.

Tomorrow it starts. Finally! Very Happy

With the exception of 1998, France do tend to start tournaments slowly, so there may be an upset tomorrow. I hope for an exciting, fun and goals galore tournament Cool

Not a chance. No team that got dominated by the USA at a major tournament within 2 years of a WC (i.e. largely the same players) can go through all rounds without playing one stinker and getting knocked out. They better hope they play their stinker in the RR and that their points from their remaining games are enough to get them into the final 16...

Off topic: antimonio; who's the cutie on your signature pics, if I may ask Cool?

On topic: Mexico will win over South Africa, no doubt.

Its South Africa leading with 15mins to go..

If England dont win it, I would be happy with Spain and a Torres hatrick in the final Wink

I dont know if anyone else watched the opening game, but Mexico got robbed of the first goal and they should have won outright. Oh well, I guess that's what you can come to expect from home field advantage hah.
