The 2010 Fifa World Cup South Africa has gotten off to a disappointing start. Today, expert analyst Teo Yong Kang gives his views on the various ups and downs of the 2010 Fifa World Cup on african soil for the first time.
In Group A, South Africa played and drew 1-1 with Mexico and lost 2-0 to Uruguay. In a group with France, Mexico and Uruguay, the hosts would realistically be booted out in the group stages. Not even the heroic saves of South African goalkeeper Khume and the prowess of Steven Pienaar can save South Africa's dream of getting past the group stages now. France, ironically, realistically should be topping Group A but are sitting behind Uruguay(6 pts) and Mexico(4 pts) with just a single point after drawing Uruguay 1-1 before losing to Mexico by two goals to nil.
In group B, Argentina has cruised past Nigeria and South Korea with a 1-0 and a 4-1 win respectively. The Nigeria goalkeeper was heroic and made a handful of wonderful reflex saves but could not save a bullet header by Gabriel Heinze. South Korea won Greece by 2-0 before losing to Argentina 4-1 but are second in the table. Greece are not far behind after winning a subdued Nigerian side and are third in the table with three points, the same as South Korea. Nigeria sit at the bottom of the table with no points.
