Boy, hasn't EVH made an impression!

That through ball for the one on one proves its not all about pace too.

And he's taking all their set-pieces.

Did anyone just see that speedy whippet at the bottom of the screen. Please say it was him....please say so!!!!!!!!! He's the South African Stuart Ripley.

Infact his name translates at Van Ripley

twas him.

Damn! 2 men in the wall, and again our inability to handle a free kick. C'mon Bafana!

Finished 3-2 shame for SA

EVH looked good on the ball but didn't see much of it in the 2nd half of extra time

ahh unlucky SA. think EVH has made a good impression with all BRFC fans that watched

On the basis of that it looks like we have seriously stregthened down the right side of midfield/attack.

With Diouf, EVH, Doran and, potentially, Hoilett it looks like we don't need to worry about that part of the side.

Encouraging. I liked the way he varied his crosses.

Thanks for all the support guys, was a really good tournament on the pitch for SA. Pity about the loss today, but we will learn from this and improve alot more. Shows that we really dont need Benni. Mphela and Bernard Parker looks very lively up front. Maybe we could have a look at one of them. Both are speedy strikers, who can do a decent job up front.

Good luck to the Rovers fans from the USA for the final tonight.

Tough luck SA and Iceman. I think you deserved at least to get to penalty kicks.

There's alot for you to take from this tournament. You've held your own against some of the best in the world. Plenty of food for thought until next years world cup. Congrats!!

Although I felt you had a couple of good games against Spain and Brazil. I felt that South Africa really struggled in the final 3rd of the pitch throughout the tournament and needed someone of Benni's experience and composure up front. I guess age is against Benni but with a World Cup in your own back yard. He could be the difference between your team getting out of the group stages and you competing in the latter stages.

I liked this comment from the BBC text updates:

"Good to see Fifa president Sepp Blatter doesn't have favourites, anyway. He's one of the guests of honour and shakes hands with all 22 players - stopping to kiss one, Brazilian superstar Kaka. Kiss him. For God's sake."
