Group A Gambling Predictions
\nMatchup<\/strong>: South Africa v Mexico
\nDate<\/strong>: Friday, June 11, 2010
\nTime<\/strong>: 9:30 AM EST
\nVenue<\/strong>: Johannesburg<\/p>\n

World Cup Fixture Odds<\/strong>: South Africa +180 \/ Mexico +150 \/ Draw +210<\/p>\n

Being the host nation, South Africa will play in the traditional opening match of the 2010 World Cup on June 11. It will be one of two Group A matches played after the opening ceremony, which will feature a concert with stars Shakira and the Black Eyed Peas as well as appearances from past and present world football legends.<\/p>\n

Their opponent will be Mexico, a side that is deeply rooted in international football and loaded with World Cup history. \"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The teams have only met twice before \u2013 once in 2000 and once in 2005.<\/p>\n

Mexico won the first 4-2, but in the second meeting five years ago South Africa won 2-0.<\/p>\n

Coach Carlos Alberto Parreira leads South Africa, his fifth different World Cup team. He is an expert at conditioning, having once been the fitness coach for the Brazilian national team, and has had three months to prepare the team physically since the domestic PSL finishes in February.<\/p>\n

The team has high hopes after solid play in the Confederations Cup, losing on a late goal to Brazil and then to Spain in extra time to finish fourth in the tournament. With their combative style and high-flying acrobatics, South Africa employs three defensive midfielders, and Aaron Mokoena and Matthew Booth on defense.<\/p>\n

They have recalled striker Benni McCarthy who, along with Mokoena, may be a key element to victory.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Mexico qualified for its fifth straight tournament and will look to change fate as they have exited in the second round in each of their last four, including 2006 where they were one of the top eight seeded teams. Hopes are riding on Cuauht\u00e9moc Blanco and Giovani Dos-Santos to drive the team on.<\/p>\n

They are very pleased to have avoided the real top seeds and drawn the hosts for game one, allowing them to make adjustments if necessary. They won the CONCACAF qualifier with a resounding 5-0 win over the United States on U.S. soil, and then defeating El Salvador 4-1 in Mexico.<\/p>\n

Most predict Mexico to beat South Africa and if they win <\/strong>they should be confident of going deep into the knockout rounds.<\/p>\n

Although the Mexican are the favorites, South Africa has worked very hard to prepare for the cup and will have the home advantage. I could easily see South Africa scoring the first goal, propelled by the massive home crowd. A possible candidate for this first goal would be McCarthy.<\/p>\n

Mexico will battle back to end this one in a 1-all draw.<\/p>\n
