All Group A discussion in here.

Party boy Benni. He obviously missed all the home comforts that SA provided for him in the past.

There's certainly plenty of him to go round.

Hopefully he also got back into the "scoring" habit.

[tcj_jones]

I would rather face Mexico in the knock out stages than France, so I'm going to be following them closely. They also play some nice football, so should be an enjoyable team to watch.

[Hasta]

I have a sneaky feeling for Uruguay in this group.

[Iceman]

South Africa to win the group. we are on a good run at the moment, so there is certainly a bunch of confident players. Problem is, that we will have some sort of stage fright, and we will crash out.

[Roberto Policano]

Uruguay and France to qualify from this group for me.

Which will be a shame with the hosts being knocked out so early.

[67splitscreen]

7 point for Uruguay.

[Roberto Policano]

7 point for Uruguay.

Uruguay must be confident if they can leave Cristian Rodriguez and Jorge Martinez at home.

[neekoy]

France and Uruguay for me, I can't believe Lugano is playing for Fener, Suarez and Forlan are going to bang some goals in.

[philipl]

I'd love it, just love it if the handball team get sent home early.

[Majiball]

Don't the hosts of the world cup always make it past the group stages?

South africa and Mexico for me with the french finishing bottom, the Irish will be smiling.

[tcj_jones]

I completely forgot that Uruguay have Forlan and Suarez. This group could throw up a few of surprises.

South Africa are possibly the worst ever hosts though (sorry Iceman), just because the other hosts have always made it (more often than not theyve been established footballing sides) doesn't mean they will.

I fancy Uruguay to top the group, France to sneak through and S Africa to finish bottom.

[Roberto Policano]

If Uruguay play 4-3-3,their side should be i guess.

Muslera - Caceres or Pereira - Godin - Lugano - Fucile - Perez - Gargano - Gonzalez - Suarez - Folan - Cavani(in talks with Inter)

Some real talent there.with both flair and steel.

Japan and Korea were hardly established in 2002.

I just have a feeling we won't see them go out at the first stage, despite how strong the other teams appear on paper.

[tony gale's mic]

Their opponents were much easier.

Anyway we shall see. Theyre with three strong teams but I would love to see the French crash and burn.

[Roberto Policano]

See Manchester City have just countered Inter's bid for Cavani.

Nah, it was donw to LJMU education!!!

im very nervous, this is a very tough group. If we dont at least pick up a point today, then we will be screwed. A win, and we will be on our way. Korea were hardly an established side, and i dont think they were in such a tough group. We shall see though, Pienaar to score the winner

[cn174]

I predict South Africa 1 - 1 Mexico then Uruguay 2 - 1 France.

[Tom]

What a block by the axe, go on lad do yourself proud. Top top guy by all accounts

[RibbleValleyRover]

These instruments are going to drive me mad by the end of the tournament. Just wondering why aren't the crowd encouraged to just use them when there is a serious attack building up, good bit of play or an incident? It just seems to be constant at the moment.

Only one side look like scoring at the moment and that is Mexico.

[American Rover12]

Unbelievable offside call to keep it tied at nil.

[cn174]

Unbelievable offside call to keep it tied at nil.

You mean the one in the first half? It was an excellent decision.

Mexico should be winning this, but up front they've looked poor.
