South Africa 0-3 Uruguay (Group A) 16 Jun 2010 7:30pm KO

Should be a good contest with both teams really needing a win here

Should be a good contest with both teams really needing a win here

For that reason, I'm thinking Uruguay.

What does everyone else think?

Come on Bafana Bafana!!!!!!!

Actually I just remembered - I've got SA for the forum sweep!

Come on Bafana Bafana!!!!!!!

I really hope they qualify to give their people some joy! It would be amazing.

You're a Guy to win this one I reckon.

looking forward to this one, hopefully will be a good match. My next lot of predictions cant be as bad as the first round of matches or i think bottom of the league will be where i belong

Please let this be a decent match!

Did I hear right, Adebayor comparing pienaar to Messi before?

EDIT: Nice to see Desmond Tutu showing his support for the Glaziers out campaign with his green and gold striped hat on! He's milking this World Cup to bits isn't he?!

Good goal!

Yeah, nice goal by Forlan.

Strike and a half that.

SA going home.

Kind of.

How hard can it be for these guys to pass to a team mate

Mphela seems to be a decent striker.

Uruguay are winning but I still think they're very poor. Lucky deflected goal, Lampard would be proud

There a lot better than South Africa who have been very poor.

They started the 2nd half much better than SA but I didnt see much superiority in the 1st, I thought it was more a matter of luck that they're winning this game... could easily have been another boring 0x0

South Africa cant keep possession 

A bit of luck again for Uruguay that the ball went to Suarez and then the gk made a penalty on him.

But in the end its a fair result, Uruguay improved in the 2nd half and are much better in comparison to their 1st game, Suarez is getting a lot more involved in the match.

Feel sorry for South Africa but they're sh*t. When your star is Steven Pienaar, I think it's almost certain.

And Forlan scores... 2-0

First player to score 2 goals in this WC

Better stay like this, don't ruin my prediction you bas**rds!

Nooo! bas**rds!

So that Luis Suarez lad is pretty good, isn't he?
Any chance for H&G to buy him not?

Suarez was very poor in the first game, always offside and went missing for the whole 90 mins. This time he was much better, against a much wearker team, but I'm yet to be convinced, even though he looks amazing in the Dutch league and sure is promissing.

Yeah, not very impressed either with him yet Diego, while I do rate him. Might be hard to excel for a team like Uruguay though, not impressed by the team.

Uruguay improved a lot from their first game but I'm not impressed either. A lot of people here are over-reacting to this win though, cause of the 3-0 score. But the truth is they were lucky in the first goal, the second one shouldnt have been a penalty (and the keeper shouldnt have been sent off) as Suarez was offisde, and the 3rd was only in the 95th min when the game was already over. Decent performance against a poor team but even if they qualify, I cant see them going very far.

The vuvuzela's really quietened down at 1-0, maybe if SA crash out of the WC they will shut up altogether. Yet to actually here anything else from the crowds

All the SA fans getting off with 15 minutes reminded me of the days at Anfield.

Ha Dexter I was going to say bet they get one more but I didnt want to hex it for you. So close

All the SA fans getting off with 15 minutes reminded me of the days at Anfield.

Odd really. There was something about a bunch of 'fans' wearing green and gold leaving with 15 mins to go just because they were loosing that jogged my memory.
