Scoreless at the half of the first match.
There's about 40 thousand airhorns in South Africa. Sounds like a beehive. I'm not sure I could stomach listening to that sound for a month next year.
South Africa are absolutely awful. They can barely control the ball. Iraq looked the tidier side but were a bit rusty.
It's pretty cold too. 15 degrees at kickoff for an afternoon match. They said it might rain and be below 10 degrees for the night match. Next year will be interesting as it'll be the first ever winter World Cup with all sorts of weather possible.
EDIT: 0-0 FT... the pitch was bad, the ball was bad, both teams were bad and the airhorns gave me a headache. I should go take a nap :P
