South Africa team.

The South Africa national football team or Bafana Bafana is the national team ofSouth Africa and is controlled by the South African Football Association. They returned to the world stage in 1992, after years of being banned from FIFA. They are hosting the 19th FIFA World Cup in June 2010 after they hosted the FIFA Confederations Cup in 2009. South Africa is the first African nation to host the FIFA World Cup. Siphiwe Tshabalala was also the first person to score in this World Cup. The team's highest achievement was winning the African Cup of Nations at home in 1996. Although South Africa has made two appearances in the World Cup, they have not made it past the first round. Their first appearance was in France 1998, six years after they had been readmitted to the global football family. Despite a 3-0 drubbing to France in their opening game, they went on to draw against Denmark and Saudi Arabia. Korea/Japan 2002 was expected to be an opportunity for Bafana Bafana to step up to the next level but unfortunately, they failed to succeed, crashing out after the group stage despite beating Slovenia 1-0 for their first-ever World Cup win.

Mexico vs. South Africa 1-1

The opening game of World Cup was played by Mexico vs. South Africa. In my opinion, it was really strange because I never imagined lose the game, but much less stay 1-1. It seems like the game was sold before it was started, because Mexico has many opportunities to get a goal but no one get it. When we get the first goal by Carlos Vela was canceled because was being out of place. Vela reclaim his goal to the arbiter but he doesn’t care. The people in the tribune were disappointed because of this. In the 55^th minute, the opposite team scores a goal by Tshabalala and the score were 1-0 in favor of South Africa. After this, the game becoming more interesting, until Rafa Marquez receive the ball and go to the porter and score a goal, and the score was 1-1. This is how you notated that the defenses of the Mexico team are not giving the best of themselves. This goal make ties with South Africa. And in the last 10 minutes South Africa try to score another goal but the player fails the goal giving the ball to the post causing the ball get out of the field and make no more opportunities to score another goal. This is how you lived the first game of the World Cup in South Africa with a score of 1-1.
