Opening match: SA 1 Mexico 1

Obviously off to a flyer with my predictions. Decent game.

Great hit by Shabbawalla or whatever his name was. Equally shit defending from South Africa to concede the equaliser. SA looked much better when they pressed harder in the second half, and shut down the Mexican right.

But of course, the main topic of the match is the fucking vuvuzelas. I'm obviously all in favour of exuberance, and it's great that South Africa is so excited about the tournament, but could you not fucking chant instead of that incessant droning? I just hope the vuvufuckingzelas are only played at SA matches, and don't tarnish every fucking day. I get enough droning in the ear from the missus, I don't need it from forty thousand plastic fucking trumpets.

The tournament got off to a good start though. Even Drury wasn't a complete cretin today; I was glad it was him and not Tyldo, who would have tried to say something incredibly meaningful about the poignant opening goal and simply sounded like a vapid, annoying cunt, as always.

I missed this one, but judging by the France game it looks like the vuvuzelas are gonna be omnipresent this tournament.

I hope every vuvuzela blower there goes out like Roy Castle.

Lineker's "that was the vuvuzelas not our panel snoring" joke got a laugh, though.

Lineker's doing well: stealing gags from Russell Brand's twitter et al.
