Too bad Bafana Bafana didn't make it after all, they had France in the bag.
Did you guys catch Domenech refusing to shake hands with Parreira (SA's coach)? What a total tool.
For those who missed it, here's a clear vid of the incident: WK 2010 Zuid-Afrika - Domenech weigert hand Parreira

I'd love to know what Parreira said to Domenech, I can't believe he acted so retarded. I mean, he surely must've realized that every move he made would be under the world's scrutiny, so why not man up and (try to) act like a normal human being?! This guy is so detached from reality, it's almost painful.

Literally having good old Sepp Blatter draw lots to decide which team proceeds to the next round. In good FIFA fashion that drawing will be behind closed doors so perhaps sliding a few green bills under the door can stack the odds in team USA's favor.

Interesting. You'd think it'd be more quantifiable than that. ^Agreed. We have a good shot though even without that.

I'm really hoping show up today, but I'm not expecting much, I think the pressure has gotten to them and now it's beyond repair.
I'll watch the US game and record the England one, and like Chris I probably wont even bother watching if they lose.
