Last night the host nation fo the world cup were delat a cruel blow, after drawing their first game against Mexico in a rather exciting game they took on Uruguay who also drew their first game of the tournament. Bafana Bafana (~SOuth Africa) went into the gmae full of confidence but they were soon humbled after Diego Forlans defelcted shot found the back of the net mid way through the first half. Urugua ended up running out 3-0 winners and were considerably better than the host nation. this means that South Africa will need to win the finally group game and rely on other results going their way to get through.
