Group A - South Africa, Mexico, Uruguay, France

[silentstriker]

This implosion by France is worthy of the Mets. So hilarious.

 

[The Sean]

This is so, so good.

 

[silentstriker]

Great save!

 

[andyc]

Tidy save that. French keeper's been pus so far though, has no idea what he's doing.

 

[duffer]

The French have a well earnt reputation for being surrender monkeys but today we could be witnessing their most glorious of all time. I love this tournament.

 

[duffer]

That's a ridiculous save.

 

[Bobisback]

Great time to stop the play...

 

[The Sean]

Goal for Uruguay - things looking really interesting now.

 

[Bobisback]

So right now its

Uruguay 7 points +4
Mexico 4 points +1
South Africa 4 points -1

Going to be interesting 2nd halves.

 

[FaaipDeOiad]

Still seems pretty unlikely for SA, but they've given themselves a chance.

France absolutely awful.

Don't think that was a red though. Haven't read the thread yet to see what other people think, but seemed like incidental contact that could happen in most clashes while two players jump for the ball.

 

[Pratters]

Hope South Africa get through some how.

This implosion by France is worthy of the Mets. So hilarious.

I was watching on CNN World sport the other day that the French play in eight year cycles. One world cup they are good, next they are crap. This has been a disgraceful tournament for the French.

 

[Bobisback]

Just one more red and South Africa should win 4-0, then they just need Uruguay to score another and they're through. Easy.

A 2-goal swing including SA scoring another goal would be enough.

 

[Bobisback]

A 2-goal swing including SA scoring another goal would be enough.

If they were both 4-4 wouldnt Mexico go through because the beat South Africa?

Meh, dont mind me, I'm dumb.

 

[Pratters]

Ohhh. Almost a goal.

 

[andyc]

Delicious ball there, pity he couldn't put it away. Would be huge if the Saffies can sneak through here.

 

[Nate]

Loving this tournament.

 

[Bobisback]

Hmm, ref stops play when South Africa have the ball, French goal keeper clears it, to Ribery who almost scores.

 

[silentstriker]

Haha that idiot might have just cost his team a World Cup advance by not going down.

Honesty: backfiring since 5000 BC.
