:( USA won't lose all their group matches! Algeria and Slovenia will hopefully both be wins. England, well, time will tell...VERY SOON!

i don't care what anyone says, the states are going to surprise a lot of people this tournament. they are fast, decent amount of skill, amazing team work and good coaching.

The opening ceremony coverage is about to start on ITV1. :yes:

[kaffra]

what on earth is that bug

[Rappy Veteran]

here we go! (not watching the opening ceremony though those drag on way to long! watching tennis instead!)

[Argote]

Is it me or was the opening ceremony kinda lame? I think there were too few people and it looked kinda low-budget (which is odd because they seem to have spent a bit on other stuff).

It absolutely had nothing on the Beijing 2008 ceremony.

watching opening ceremony, please GOD RSA please don't own goal :p

True, I guess a bunch of people do not care for the ceremony are arriving for the game only.

Nope, I did not see Europe there, and America looked tiny.

I stopped watching it - pretty dull and lame. Excited for the first game SA vs Mexico though and tonight promises to be a good game between France and Uruguay.

Got myself sorted for the England drubbing game tomorrow too - bbq and beers!

[Argote]

Well, the stadium seems a lot fuller now...

[Rappy Veteran]

Rest assured that there will be vuvuzelas(sp?) at every single game.

From Wikipedia:

Vuvuzelas have been controversial, linked to permanent noise-induced hearing loss, potentiality spreading colds and flu germs on a greater scale than coughing or shouting, and injury to pets who generally have more sensitive hearing and are more likely to run away because of being terrified by the sound

[Rappy Veteran]

this tweet sums everything up really about those annoying noise tubes :p

[Jimmy0]

So true, it sounds like a bunch of bees or something buzzing around the stadium. :no:

[Alladaskill17]

Woooooooooooo :laugh:

What a save by south african keep!

[Brian Veteran]

Two chances, one amazing the other mediocre. Come on Mexico

[Rappy Veteran]

I want Mexico to start the Mexican wave then everyone holding those things will put them down for 5 seconds :p

[thefonz]

It's like a million bees are buzzing. Mexico are sofar the better team. This game was never going to be a classic though.
