Snoozefest in South Africa

Two matches. Two goals. Two draws.

Save for a superb left-footed strike to the top right corner off a wonderful counter-attack by South African winger Siphiwe Tshabalala, the opening day of the 2010 World Cup was such a bore.

It was a far cry from the high-scoring opening game during the 2006 tournament in Germany, where the Germans beat Costa Rica, 4-2.

I hope these performances are not signs of things to come. Otherwise, I don't know how I'll manage to stay awake while watching the games.
