    Anyone taking South Africa?

    I'm putting some cash on South Africa. France just wants to get the hell out of South Africa already. South Africa also wants to win at least one game for the poor fans. African teams sucking this tourney is an understatement, however, I think South Africa's heart and determination will see them to victory irregardless of the African form throughout the entire tourney.

    South Africa gave Mexico a hard time, don't see why they can't give a shattered France a hard time as well.

    The odds make it a great value pick as well.

    I took South Africa ML, I think there's great value in it right now at +215. I will also put small bets on a 1-0, 2-0, or 2-1 win for them.

    Agree. South Africa will play for fans, at least.

    Agree with big motivational difference. South-Africa, still believing and playing for pride in front of home crowd, against France, who don't even want to be here. South-Africa looking good.

    SA seems like a steal here. If France had the choice of not showing up for this game they would take it.

    I think i'm more likely to take the tie here I think - France just want out so they can get back home and string their coach up by his bollocks, but they also wont want to get humiliated. Bafana Bafana are an awful, awful team and may struggle to even break France down.

    If SA somehow win by 3 or more goals and either Mexico or Uruguay lose they can still qualify. As bad as SA is they are not out of this WC yet.

    A lot of things going on in French locker room, I think they don't want to play any more and will let the SA go through with a lot of goals.
    Anelka got booted and team director Jean-Louis Valentin resigned.
    Wow, I think we will see SA 5-0, and if Mex v Uruguay no draw, what do you think?

    The French players dont want their country to hate them, I can't imagine the team just letting SA own them. I think they'll play but South Africa should be inspired.

    I placed 1 unit SA ML +265 when I saw all the drama that was going on with the France team.
