FIFA South Africa World Cup kicks off this coming Friday 11th; the expectancy is intense as we near the end of the four year wait.

First game on the board is South Africa against Mexico, an interesting game and a prelude to what the tournament will look like. Both opening teams are definitely not the favorites to win the cup however one of them will for sure give a surprise in performance.

South Africa has the home advantage plus speed, endurance, heights and a World Cup champion coach, and he knows his business very well plus he is no stranger to Mexico. Although the African team has many virtues and advantages, they do lack definition in the strike zone, hopefully an issue that will be addressed before Friday.

Mexico may not be so technical and may not execute beautiful soccer, but they know how to score and any of the players on the field is a time bomb ready to explode at any given moment. El Vasco Aguirre – Mexico head coach – has to get real and make wise decisions; he must leave aside gratefulness and use his brain to deploy a solid line up. Mexico has a great team, very talented players, fast and sneaky however their success depends on Aguirre’s strategy.

Moving on to the second game of the day; France will face Uruguay, both teams are cup winners and France is favor to win group A, however Uruguay is very solid and has been making beautiful soccer while France has been raising doubts and unless they step it up they will not get to the second round. It’s sad to say that France is lacking their traditional futbol, they are very weak in the strike zone and they are not doing to good in the rear. Uruguay is the other side of the coin, they are implementing speed, lateral drives and great precision in the strike zone, also a solid midfield but not so strong in the rear but we assume they don’t worry about that to much as they keep their opponent on a defensive mode for the best part of 90 minutes.

As always it’s hard to predict the winner of the match, many things can happen and we must not leave out “Murphy’s law”. Experts in the field predict Mexico and Uruguay as winners for Friday and over’s on the totals.
