And so it began, after the ubiquitous Opening Ceremony, that did not contain Nelson Mandela after a horrific family accident the night prior to the big kick-off, the host nation took opened the tournament with the first game against Mexico.
I only saw the second half, which contained both goals, but South Africa were seemingly outplayed by Mexico but took the lead with a belting strike. Some naive defending earned Mexico a deserved draw. It was a nice game to start with and we must hope the attacking play continues.
