The world cup started yesterday. This event is the largest sporting event in the world. Most people in the U.S. can't comprehend something bigger than the super bowl but this kicks the super bowls butt. Easily. So here is what I have thought of the games I had a chance to watch so far.
South Africa v.s. Mexico
This game ended in a 1-1 tie. However, Mexico seemed to dominate the possession most of the game. South Africa however wouldn't let that stop them as their defense played like beasts. This eventually allowed S.A. to score the first goal off of a fantastic shot into the upper 90 across the goalie. In due time Mexico tied it up however off of a defensive lapse by South Africa. Overall, I was rooting for South Africa just because I am not a fan (at all) of the Mexico National Team.
France v.s. Uruguay
This game was boring bottom line. 0-0 tie. I had a hard time paying attention. However, I didn't really have preference for ether team. I was rooting for France in this throw down, but Thierry Henry didn't get into the game until the very end. He is one of my favorite players from this France team. I would've prefered an Ireland versus Uruguay game. That rant is for another time though.
