Great game. Could have been Mexico's after that great first half, should have been South Africa's at the very end. RSA were surprisingly good; the no. 8 was brilliant!

And geez tottenham, what is going on with Dos Santos?

Talk about party crashing, just watched the end of 'The Alomo' on 7two lol.. Maybe the Mexicans were watching it before their game and were inspired, safety in numbers. Strueth even 'The Duke' couldn't stop them haha

It's worth mentioning the incredibly high quality of the refereeing also. The ref and the linesmen did an wonderful job. The linesman making that call for the disallowed goal - in real time - must be one of the best bits of officiating I've seen. And it wasn't all on its own, there were many excellent calls. Also very little play-acting from either team. All-round a brilliant example of how I hope this World Cup progresses.

Stupid linesman if Vela's goal coulda stood I would be up $400

+1

I must be the only person on the planet to have seen a South African player on the near post, so there for the goal should have stood, tell me if i am write or not

smething to do with two players having to be past the goal keeper when the ball is played

Two players have to be behind the ball (usually a defender and a goalkeeper, but any two players will do).

Since the goalkeeper was nowhere and had come out there was only one defender behind the ball so it was offside.

ok, thanks for clearing that up because i was really confused

I'm not in Aus so I don't have the luck to hear his commentary, but I can only imagine the joy I'd have at him trying to continually say Tshabalala or Letsholonyane.
