FIFA World Cup Opens

Today June 11, the FIFA World Cup opens in South Africa. The Opening match was between home country South Africa and Mexico. The first 20 minutes was dominated by Mexico, but they had no goals to show for it. As the game went on South Africa attacked the Mexican defense with relentless shots on goal and passes. The first goal of the World Cup was scored by none other than the host country to take a 1-0 lead. They held that lead until the 79th minute when Mexico squeaked one in to tie it 1-1. That is how the match would end in a tie, both countries received one point each and continue play Thursday and Friday. South Africa will continue their quest to advance to the round of 16 versus Uruguay.
