World Cup opener Mexico Vs South 2010 Africa is really a must win for both the teams to start their winning streak. South Africa has never been a great team in Soccer world cup, in spite of their absence for almost two decades,
its great achievement to have an opportunity to host the biggest tournament on their soil and at the same time it’s a great opportunity for them to utilize the home advantage and to fetch a top spot in later stages of the tournament.
If we keep an eye on the history of South Africa then one can easily say that there are very few chances of South Africa to go through to the next round but keeping in view the home advantage which really showed their strength last night on kick off ceremony,
South Africa has the chance to make a new history in the books of FIFA World Cup just like Korea did in the last world cup.
Korea never had been a highly ranked team in the FIFA World Cup before 2002. FIFA World Cup 2002 was hosted by Japan and Korea and both team first managed to go through the first round to the knockouts and from knockouts Korea defeated Italy in knockouts and Spain in quarters and home team was playing their first ever semi of the FIFA World Cup and that happened only due to home crowd advantage.
Although Korea lost to Germany in the Semis but honestly none of the player or the supporter have ever thought of playing Semi Final of World Cup and this year South Africa is hoping to perform something like Korea did.
So, 90,000 people with their stadium horns are ready at Soccer city to cheer and support their team today on 11th June 2010 at 10.00 AM EST, so be ready for the sitter.
