2010 World Cup - South Africa 0 Uruguay 3 - Group A

Watta game, had everything. First penalty of the WC, red card, great goal from Forlan and a great match from Suarez i think.

I'm not usually a big fan of long distance goals, but with the lack of awesome strikes so far in this tournament it was great to see Forlan deliver. Hopefully this is the start of a higher scoring second round of group matches.

Btw, Ghana had the first penalty of the World Cup when they beat Serbia.

Diego Forlan. What a man. Legend

Anyone see the keeper's red card? Biggest dive ever ... South Africa were never a chance but they were robbed in that instance.

Well, let's see how France goes against Mexico first. If they produce another mediocre performance then you'd have to think South Africa would be capable of pulling off an upset against them in the final game. A drawn match would be best for the Bafana Bafana though.

you;re right, i had a quick think back and couldn't think of any.
