South Africa 0-3 Uruguay

Goal Scorers: Forlan scored 2 goals, one of them a penalty & Alvaro Pereira

Oh, I think I'll go on on crying for Bafana for a few days. What happened?! Why did it?! That red card was so very unfair. I want to be optimistic and full of fizz, but its just dreadful. I knew they were going to have a tough time getting beyond Uruguay, but the way they crumbled, scattered all over like crumbs and those giants squashing them. There has been the constant sound of the vuvuzela blowing since the World Cup began, but when the game ended the silence was eerie. 

There we have it. I don't think the team was full of attitude, thinking they would easily beat the Uruguayans. They were so nervy, they could not think. They don't have the mental strength to take the pressure, neither the physical power to take on these teams. I'm sorry about it all, but if we remember just a few weeks ago, we did not have any hope in these boys. We didn't think they were capable of scoring, and their confidence was just as low. We had a lot of fun supporting them and it felt great. And we shall continue to cheer on South Africa, no matter if our team is in or not. 

Bafana's coach lashed out at the referee and I hope that dude goes straight home. 
He called Busacca "the worst referee in this competition so far." "I hope I don't see his face in any game anymore," he said.


ITUMELENG KHUNE apologized:  "The guys (Bafana players) came to me and said sorry, but I think I owe them an apology as well to the rest of the South Africans. It was not deliberate and there was nothing I could do, but the nation deserves an apology, because they have been there for us as a team, so it wasn't nice for them to go through that," said the 22-year-old. 

Yes, Uruguay beat us blue. They know how to play soccer. The End.
