My thoughts on the sporting world

Well we all know by now that Bafana Bafana lost to Uruguay but they beat the French 2-1 in the final group game.

The English cricket team has taken an unassailable 3-1 lead in the series against Australia.  The Protea cricket team squashed the West Indian cricket team in the test series 2-0.  This means that they won the Twenty20 series (2-0), the ODI series and the test series.  The West Indian cricket team seems to be in a dire situation.

The 2010 Soccer World Cup has given us a brand new meaning of the word "upset".  As I write, Brazil has been eliminated from the World Cup.  In a heartbreaking moment for the African nations, Uruguay sent Ghana home thanks to a penalty shootout.  What will happen in the rest of the World Cup?  I don't think I want to make any further predictions.

Wimbledon also produced it's fair share of upsets this year.  Roger Federer fell out of the quarter finals of Wimbledon and one of the Williams sisters has also been eliminated...it seems that tennis is getting quite exciting.  Nadal is heading towards his second Wimbledon singles title and the remaing Williams sister seems set to win her 13th Wimbledon singles title.
