A frustrating wireless / broadband connection in central London left my experience of the France - South Africa game simply bizarre.
At one point France scored, only to then seemingly have their goal, and about ten minutes of time, wiped off by a magical South African force field. Unfortunately for Bafana Bafana, even these superpowers were not enough to see them through to the last 16, which is a real shame. I was hoping the hosts would squeeze out of Group A at the expense of Uruguay, but you don't always get what you wish for (see England-Algeria).
Meanwhile Mexico (officially now my second team in this World Cup) made it through, despite losing to Diego II and his double World Cup winning chums. That result will now see the North Americans face Diego I and his own double World Cup winning chums:
THE STORY SO FAR
Match of the tournament: Portugal 7-0 North Korea
Player of the tournament: Diego Forlan (Uruguay)
Goal of the tournament: Tshabalala (South Africa v Mexico)
