2010 World Cup: South Africa is at the gates of the second round after beating a France destroyed (1-2)

France and South Africa 2010 World Cup bid goodbye to the lamentable performance after a new selection coached by Raymond Domenech, who lost to the host team by 1-2.

The Gauls, after the scandal mounted with the expulsion of the selection Anelka, formed with a completely new to the missing men as important as Evra, Abidal or Govou, Anelka besides his own.

The new faces did not produce a big change and France again left a bad taste in a game that jumped and beaten on the pitch. A Les Bleus lacked ambition, desire and pride to finish the World Cup with at least one victory, and South Africa took advantage of it, even to think at times this could have had the stroke and get into the knockout stages, something that did not happen.

It all started badly for the French, who soon after starting the game had settled with an own goal, scored by South African defender Khumalo after a terrible head out on a ball hung Lloris.

In addition, Domenech was like everything was destroyed again after the expulsion of Gourcuff for alleged assault, which is quite rigorous so unfortunately we are getting used in this World Cup in which arbitrations are not offering too level.

The party went on a France that seemed to be outdone, South Africa and trying, though increasingly less enthusiasm. Mphela made it two on the last leg of the first half after a great move from the ubiquitous Tshabalala, one of the great surprises of this World Cup.

At the beginning of the second half, a shot at pole Mphela made the South African dream, with the defeat of Mexico, were two goals for the second round. Despite this, France is rearranged slightly, enough to make a move that braiding hinted what this team might become was not. Ribery put it on a plate to Malouda, recently entered the field, and he put the 1-2 final.

South Africa had time yet to do any more goal but the hosts were now more concerned to win their last game in this tournament to do great deeds, so the meeting ended and both selections are removed. South Africa march through the main gate, France on the back.
