The goalie is SA’s saving grace so far.

Some questionable ball play from South Africa at the back today...

Sithole sent off for South Africa.

Mbatha on for Foster for South Africa.

Zwane on for Adams for South Africa.

2-0 to Mexico now. Going from bad to worse for South Africa!

Mexico a bit nervous today - but I believe they can grow through the tournament with each win. South Africa not really competetive - you don't see much structure in their play. My guess for last place.

I see Mexico as strongest team in this group, while Czech Republic and South Korea might be battling for second place tonight. I see South Korea slightly ahead of Czech Republic, but it will be close.

I think that is the first red card in an opening match of the World Cup since 1994.

Another red card this time Zwane for South Africa. South Africa down to nine men.

A second red card for South Africa - really not how they'd want to be starting this tournament.

2 red cards! The drama already

Like Cameroun against Argentina in 1990, but they won.

Seven minutes of added time in this match.

This referree loves giving out reds

Mexico getting jealous of all of South Africa's red cards and wanted one of their own!

Was that an clear goalscoring opportunity, I don't think it was. Montés sent off for Mexico.

And there we go! You can't say that one was without drama

3 red cards!!! In the opening match! Is everyone okay? Insanity

There were 4 red cards in total at the last World Cup. 3 already in the opening match.

The Mexico red card was the only one I thought should have been a red.
