All i can say is im glad there are another 62 games to go because day 1 was disappointing.

The first game was to be expected, neither team wanted to let a goal in and as a result we had a 1-1 draw just as i predicted. First half belonged to Mexico but the second half was South Africa’s, they were unlucky in the end not to score a winner at the end.

The second game of the day i expected to be a bit more lively, France have some real quality players and i was almost asleep with boredom by the time the game finished, France tried to turn the screw a little towards the end but it wasnt enough, a really disappointing 2 – 2

The time has come, Its day one of the world cup and there are two games to be played. Im hoping to write a prediction and a review of each game, however, if i don’t get to watch / listen to a game then im not going to review it, obviously!

Game 1

South Africa V Mexico – 15:00

A tough call. The build up for this world cup ends today. Everyone gets so excited they expect the game to be enthralling. In reality, nobody wants to loose the opening game of the world cup. Because of this, i think its going to be a 1-1 draw.

Game 2

Uruguay V France – 19:30

Second game of the tournament and the game with the most viewers today. Few Friday night drinks watching the football and i wont care who has won! As a prediction France will take this, they will give away a hand ball but they will win the game! Uruguay do have Forlan however which i think will have a great game, i even tip him to be the top scorer of the group stages, i think France have more goal scorers though and they will take it towards the end of the game.
