Mexico Draws the Inaugural Game in South Africa



The draw for the 2010 World Cup took place today and Mexico was placed in Group A alongside hosts South Africa, Uruguay, and France. In the end, a very difficult, but not impossible group. By now, we're all familiar with the circumstances surrounding France's qualification, and both Mexico and Uruguay struggled on their way to qualify. I'm gonna remain positive, I've marked my calendar for the following games:

  • Friday, 6/11: Mexico vs South Africa
  • Thursday, 6/17: Mexico vs France
  • Tuesday, 6/22: Mexico vs Uruguay

Other notable group games:

  • Friday, 6/11: France vs Uruguay
  • Saturday, 6/12: USA vs England
  • Monday, 6/14: Italy vs Paraguay
  • Tueday, 6/15: Ivory Coast vs Portugal

There's a few other interesting matchups like Brazil-Portugal, or Germany-Ghana but that'll depend on the standings at the time as one team or the other may already be qualified for the next round.

The U.S.' group is the following:
  • England
  • USA
  • Algeria
  • Slovenia
This looks to be a cakewalk for the US but 3 & Out® is always in play when it comes to the U.S. in international tournaments.

I can't wait!

I see it took soccer and Mexico combining to draw you back to this now barren ghost town.

Ferio was on a blogging strike because he refused to believe that the McCourt divorce was real. Apparently, reality finally set in for him when they denied arbitration to Wolf.

Ferio must be Spanish for "naive".
