South Africa Opens World Cup Play Against Mexico

[SaffaCappa]

think mexico steals this one. i see how homefield advantage can come into effect especially with those friggin vuvuzelas, but i see mexico coming away with it. south africas team is not that good imo.

Dont ever doubt the power of the Nelson Mandela factor!!! If the legend shows up at the game, the mexicans are screwed

Rugby World Cup 1995 - No one said we had a chance, SA got to the final against the powerhouses from New Zealand ... Madiba Magic is full effect and the rest is history!

VIVA SOUTH AFRICA ... VIVA!!!

[LUCKYCHUCK]

Go mexico

Nelson Mandelas step daughter (I think) died yesterday so I heard he won't be attending the opening ceremony.

you have rocks in your head if you're going to bet and watch this game.

Can you imagine 90,000 die hard south africans blowing those stupid Vuvuzelas.
FML, damn culture.


mute button on.

ive never bet on soccer, probably wont start today either, but i feel like an idiot cause i cant figure out the way the lines work.. the point spread for this has SA Pick (+110) . MEXICO Pick (-140) .... but then the moneyline shows SA +200 . MEXICO +140 . DRAW +225 --> someone please explain to me why, if you want to bet on Mexico, that you dont bet the +140 instead of the PICK(-140) .. if pick and moneyline are the same then why are the lines skewed??? PLEASE HELP IM AN IDIOT!!

Stfu about the Vuvuzelas already.

Small play on the over 2 for me.

Mmm they will destroy the WC to a high degree

Football should be watched with HIGH volume and thats impossible to even have normal volume due to the complete idiots with the horns

Hey HighFive, if you bet on the Mexico +140 you take the chance of losing the bet if the game ends in a draw, that's why the juice is sweeter because there's less of a chance of winning. If you bet on the Mexico -140 and the game ends in a draw then at least you get a push on the play. Make sense? With this game you can probably take a chance on it ending in a draw and just lay some cash down on Mexico +140.

In one hour at Betjamaica, the odds for Mexico ML went from +135 to +155. Something happened?

[bbar86]

no home team has ever lost the opening round apparently

[SoV]

Mandela is not attending the match since his great grand-daughter died in a car crash yesterday.

[McBa1n]

I'd be shocked if Mexico didn't pull out a result. They're hungry. I hate them, but they're hungry.

South Africa 4-5-1
Mexico 4-3-3

Mexico's formation is going to score a goal. I would be surprised if this game ends in a draw.

[btraband]

I hope they rack up some goals

[jayc88]

i bet on mexico but somehow i want s africa to win this game
the world cup is such a huge opportunity for the country and it would be great for the tournament if the host country would get the win in the opening game.
Anyway i hope we will see a great match.

Cashing in

Draw 1-1 ((

[samitarian]

I love backing draws, and this opening match is a perfect opportunity to do so. a defeat will seriously damage the chances of each team, they know all 3 matches are going to be tough so it will be a cautious affair.

South Africa have a decent team, and with the home backing i think it will be quite a even match

great start!
