South Africa 2-1 France
It promised so much yet ultimately failed to deliver for the hosts. This was a fine display of attacking intent, really going for the win. Trouble is that it didn't matter now - this should have been the approach against Mexico and Uruguay earlier. Today's result was ultimately too little too late.
As for France, well they were already heading for the airport - the silly thing is though, with the result from the other game meant that this could perhaps have been their chance to progress. But football, like so many other pursuits is at least 90% in the mind, so really there was no chance for Les Bleus.
