Disappointing - Mexico 1 - 1 South Africa

While Mexico may not be out the World Cup by any stretch of the imagination, today's result leaves them with an uphill struggle.

Many pundits, bloggers, Twitterers and others are saying Mexico have everything to play for etcetera etcetera but Uruguay and France will almost certainly beat South Africa. That leaves a very difficult route to the last 16 for Mexico.

For the majority of the first half, Mexico dominated and one of the top teams would've been 2-0 up at the break. In the end Mexico paid for Franco's three glaring misses. Whether a striker who hasn't played for three weeks should of started is sure to be a talking point in tomorrow's paper.

Maybe this is a harsh assessment but South Africa are ranked 83rd in the world and the Mexico team and are used to playing in some really hostile stadiums. If you don't believe that check out YouTube clips when Mexico play in Guatemala and Honduras.

Of course, it should of been different for Mexico, they had their chances to "kill off" South Africa like Aguirre said after. But, when all is said and done, it's the same old story as in the friendly matches: all bark and no bite. And, it's becoming very frustrating.
