And they're off!
Cracking opening game, despite the kick-off being delayed by excessive Blatter (nobody was there to see you, Sepp!), and the vuvuzelas rattling my fillings for the first twenty minutes.
It actually properly looked like the World Cup - Soccer City doing a decent impression of the San Siro at Italia '90:
Despite Adrian Chiles suggesting that the world wanted South Africa to win, I must admit to cheering on Mexico, so was thrilled when they equalised through the Mexican George Clooney (aka Rafael Marquez).
For the record: I watched the opening game accompanied by a glass of cranberry juice, a ham / cheese / pickle sandwich, two cups of Earl Grey tea, and a chocolate brownie. Why? Because I'm a bloody bloke...
THE STORY SO FAR
Match of the tournament: South Africa 1-1 Mexico
Player of the tournament: Bongani Khumalo (South Africa)
Goal of the tournament: Tshabalala (South Africa v Mexico)
