HALFTIME WHISTLE -


Uruguay - 1

Mexico - 0




France - 0

South Africa - 2


Just when you thought French football couldn't hit a more all-time low with the players' revolt midway through the WC, and Domenech making as many as SIX changes to the starting line-up including a new Captain, they trail by 2 goals and have been reduced to 10 men in a match they must win to entertain any hopes of staying alive.

Again, Domenech started without Henry. Don't know what's going on between player & coach there. Cisse came in as the lone striker.

Straight Red Card for Yoann Gourcuff meant the Les Bleus have been reduced to 10 men for the remainder of the match. As if that wasn't enough, South Africa pounded in 2 goals in spectacular style propelled by the loudest vuvuzelas you will ever get to hear in any match in South Africa so far.

Still hoping for that elusive miracle, France fans? Forget it. France is going out of the WC, and their football right now is in complete shambles.


I hope that Mexico gets an equaliser soon and fights out a draw against Uruguay, and both qualify for the next stage. Easily the two best teams on show in Group A.
