Stuart wrote:I'll tell you something. After watching the games against Colombia and then Guatemala last night, I seriously think that there is a faint glimmer of hope for South Africa to navigate their way through the first round. All we need to do is somehow secure the services are each of the two refs in the last two games, and there are bound to be enough bad decisions that we get a penalty or two thrown our way during each game.

I understand that these two games were friendlies, but the quality of the refereeing needs to be SERIOUSLY lifted in time for the Cup! Those two refs had absolute shockers!

I suggest in order for Bafana-bafana to beat Mexico, hire some low life tsotsi's, let them mug the Mexico team a day before the match, then their moral would be really low on the game day = Great success to Bafana... :twisted:

Question to you guys, how do you know when the orange tickets (marked as currently not available as opposed to red "sold out") will become available for sale?

So did I, but it turns out the next and final phase of ticketing has openend BUT not all the games are released at the same time, rather in "semi-phases" to make all things fair, except they don't announce when the games within the ticketing phase become available

I need a simple A4 print of the participating teams and their flags - any ideas?

A surprising amount of modern pseudoscience is coming out of the environmental sector. Perhaps it should not be so surprising given that environmentalism is political rather than scientific.

Let me rephrase that:

I need 1 page that shows all the flags?
