Bafana Bafana already stunned Mexico with their performance in the opening game of the World Cup. Even though it was a 1-1 draw, the result would give the South African team a mental boost ahead of their game against Uruguay. Overall the tournament may not produce the flashiest games, but it may produce some really tight matches. This is what you would want if you were following any international sport.
The Springboks are looking good again this year. They had a scratchy start against Wales, but picked up the pace against the French with a comprehensive 42-17 victory on Saturday, 12 June 2010. It wouldn't surprise me if the Springboks win the Tri-nations again for the fourth time this year, but the Aussies are looking dangerous this season. They had several teams who performed unexpectedly well in this year's Super 14 (the Reds) and the Waratahs has proven that they are the best Australian team in the Super competition.
The South African cricket team also came out on top against the West Indies. It is sad to see a West Indian team struggling on the international stage. They are a farcry from the great West Indian teams of the 80s and early 90s. Dale Steyn has cemented his place among the up and coming legends of the South African game being the fourth fastest player to get 200 wickets in tests. Barring injury or a bad patch, he could potentially overtake Shaun Pollock and Makhaya Ntini on the South African all-time list.
Final five points:
- Will Bafana Bafana pull out a victory against Uruguay in their second group match?
- Will the Springboks or the Wallabies dominate 2010?
- Is it just me or has Zimbabwe been a more competative cricket team lately?
- Will the English beat the Aussies in the upcoming ODI series in the UK?
- Who is your pick to win the Soccer World Cup 2010?
