I never realistically gave us a chance in that group that included teams ranked 9, 16 and 17, but we had hope that home ground advantage could lift us to do some magic...
We sure are can rue that ball that hit the woodwork against Mexico and then losing the plot in the last quarter against Uruguay.
At least our FIFA ranking should sky rocket...
Originally posted by CrowleyRSA has nothing to hang their heads about. Plucky, spunky team playing lights out against better opposition. Were in the mix through the bitter end. I enjoyed watching them play and that first goal of the cup was marvellous indeed. Thus far a great cup, great host nation and great enthusiasm in the stand for visiting teams. Makes one want to make a trip and enjoy the country first hand! I thought RSA might make it when Mexico was unable to score, but that last almost-goal and the French solitary one spelled the end. A great game! Rankings are meaningless, but world respect has gone way up!
