World Cup 2010 Soccer South Africa vs Mexico Betting Preview
World Cup 2010 Soccer South Africa vs Mexico Preview: South Africa vs Mexico Live soccer betting odds 2010 Soccer world cup. South Africa vs Mexico match starts at 16:00 GMT, Group A, June 11, 2010 Soccer City Stadium, Johannesburg, South Africa.
South Africa, which qualified for the World cup in 1998 and 2002, is unbeaten in 12 straight matches leading up to its first World Cup match in eight years.
No host nation has ever failed to make the knockout stage, and Mexico presents a tough challenge in the Group A opener. Mexico has reached the knockout round in its last four World Cups, and is the favorite to win the group.
South Africa vs Mexico Live soccer betting odds 2010 Soccer world cup
Mexico went through a gauntlet ahead the World Cup with games against England, the Netherlands and Italy. The Mexicans dropped the games against England and Holland, but beat Italy 2-1 on goal from Carlos Vela and Alberto Medina in its last warm-up match.
South Africa player in focus: Katlego Mphela. South Africa left Benni McCarthy out of the squad for a reason and one of them is the form of Mphela. With four goals in his last two starts, the Mamelodi Sundowns striker has made a first-team place his own and, on the back of an incredible goal in the Confederations Cup against Spain, his star is on the rise.
Mexico player in focus: Javier Hernandez. Having just moved to Manchester United in a deal reported to be around £10 million, the spotlight will well and truly be on the young striker. Quick, agile and with a good eye for goal, he has scored seven goals in 12 games for his country. Will need to perform better than he managed in the friendly at Wembley though, if he is to prove his doubters wrong.
Key Battle: Steven Pienaar vs. Andres Guardado. Pienaar's form is crucial if South Africa have any hope of getting out of the group and his work on the wing will set up chances for his team-mates. A great season at Everton has raised expectation, but then Guardado's form for Deportivo has also raised the bar on the other side. Both wide men are creative, quick and their battle down the flanks will be a deciding factor in how the game goes.
Trivia: This year's opening match is the first ever in Africa and it will be the third opener to feature an African team. On both previous occasions the African sides picked up shocks wins as Cameroon beat holders Argentina 1-0 in 1990 and Senegal beat champions France by the same score in 2002.
Stats: South Africa coach Parreira will take charge of a side at his sixth World Cup. Kuwait (1982), United Arab Emirates (1990), Saudi Arabia (1998) and Brazil (1994 and 2006); while Mexico have been sent home in the Second Round stage in the past four World Cup tournaments.
Prediction: You can't rule out the importance of the crowd in the first game. Players at the Confederations Cup complained of hearing what sounded like a swarm of bees on the pitch - in fact it was the vuvuzela noise - and Mexico could be stunned. It should be enough for South Africa to claim at least a draw.
