..for being the first world cup host country never to make it to the second round. YESS!! :D Hey we can celebrate new aaa first right.

At least our last game was brilliant one, we won France 2-1. However in the first round we were sure we could get 4-0 as they were on fire. After the second half they just kind off limbered of as if they dont' want to go to the next round.

O well, I'm enjoying soccer now, will have to pic a new team

So you beat up on the French, don't be so happy. They are after all, French! :rolleyes: ;)

I am part French and still despise them, a little self loathing to go along with my celebration of South Africa's victory!! :)

I'm sure it stings a bit to miss out on the next round because of goal differential.
South Africa played respectable soccer... they shouldn't beat themselves up too much over it.

Have you gone to watch any of the matches? It would be fun to get reports on the different types of fans. :D

Hmm... this sort of explains things :) . I think if soccer had a "pull the goalie" rule like hockey, it would be a favorite French tactic. In the first minute of play.
