South Africa: Mphela supports only a win over Uruguay

The front holder Katlego Mphela selection of South Africa acknowledged that the hosts have some pressure to achieve victory in their first World Cup, and therefore only signature victory against Uruguay in the second round.

"No doubt, we have to win this game, and we must do for all the people who support us. I have to make sure I take my chances," he told FIFA.com.

"Of course there's pressure, but we know that all we have to do is win a game. If we win a game, our confidence will soar. We have to beat Uruguay," he added.

For ULIMO, wanted to avoid comparisons with the legendary Bafana Bafana striker Benni McCarthy: "I could never be Benni. He has done great things: he won the Champions League, and for a time was one of the best strikers in England. Of course I've learned a lot from him, but I want to settle in this national team, and this World Cup is a perfect opportunity. "
