Two matches kicked off the 2010 World Cup in South Africa.

Mexico and South Africa tied one all.

France and Uruguay kissed their sister nil-nil.

These two results were surprises.

The Mexican squad had most of the chances but South Africa drew first blood in the 55^th minute.

South Africa forced a turnover at midfield. Wham, bam, boom, South Africa heads down the pitch in a matter of seconds. Siphiwe Tshabalala rips a shot top shelf left. Mexican keeper Oscar Perez got his paw on the ball but that didn’t stop the ball from finding the back of the net. 

Mexico found the equalizer in the 79^th minute. Rafael Marquez ripped a deadly shot from just inside the right of the box. His laser was unstoppable.

Marquez flat out beat three South African defenders.

Mexico should have won but they had their first goal called back due to an offside call.

Still the South African squad has to be pleased with the tie.

Mexico out played them but wound up with a tie.

This could hurt Mexico.

France and Uruguay stunk the joint out in nil-nil adventure. France had the most of the touches in the box but the French couldn’t hit the broadside of a barn with a machine gun.

12 shots and three were on goal.

This sucks.

So, it goes for the cheaters from France.

This serves the French right.

Uruguay’s Nicholas Lodeiro was given the heave-hoe in the 81^st minute.

There are two huge matches on Saturday.

England and the USA will duke it out.

Argentina has a fight on their hands when they battle Nigeria.
