Wow, what a spectacle!

God sha. He gives grace and exalts the meek (not-so-smart South Africans) , and kicks the ground out from under the proud (smart-alec wiseguy big-boy Nigerians).

I couldn't help feeling ashamed of my so-called Giant country. I hear Jonathan, Sambo, most of the ministers, and 62 senators are all in SA watching the World Cup. Imagine.

I am getting sick of this, these guys are stealing from each other and they are blaming the South African. It shows that they b\never wanted to come and compete on this continent. Mony gets lost inside the hotels and there are security at the hotels and also the rooms are locked. If something is lost in the Hotels, its either your friend or the cleaners in the Hotel

Swift justice, nice, now if only they can maintain it even after the tournament,
1,2 FYI, this was an inside Uruguay job, one of their own perpetrated this crime.


What baffles my mind though, is how those players don't use the safe's in their rooms, why not lock their suitcases and why the said hotels, in the case of the Greece and Australian media in Rustenburg, the cameras are not being used to catch the criminals and monitor the corridors, etc,

Some of these robberies, have the smell of inside job on them

Yeah,the boys did not play at all,but all hope is not lost,if Mexico and France Draw,we will have our own destiny back in our hands against France.Hard work and Miracles will needed.

I am fully behind Naija,Ghana,Cameroun and IV.

As South Africans we where not trying to proof that we can win the tounament but to proof that Africans can host the world class event with distingtions.

We are a sporting nation where soccer is one of the sports,and I accept that we're not yet world beaters but we're feared in other sporting codes where we're world champions.

So goodluck to all African teams,where soccer is everything.

Which Flags? Vuvusela didn't work for us Muki ,maybe I should have stuck to to clapping hands and sreaming

African teams are a big dissapointment,Nigeria lost two in a row,Ghana are too confident and they'll be beaten by Australia,Algeria what can i say about them?.Cameroun have dikhead of a coach,Ivory Coast are like Nadertherlands,big reputation but nothing to show for it,or maybe it is the colour Orange.South Africa was never in there.
