The end of the World Cup for South Africa?

Is South Africa going to be the first host of the championships in the history which is going to be eliminated on the group stage? Highly probable after their yesterday's loss 0:3 to Uruguay.

What is even more probable is the fact that Khune had finished playing already.





Khune was send off after a foul in the penalty area. He tackled Suarez who had a clear situation to score. Even if it wasn't deliberated it did happen and the decision of the referee couldn't be different.





Since 16 years no goalkeeper was send off in World Cups history.



For sure it was one of the worst days in his carrer.

World Cup: South Africa vs Mexico 11 Jun 2010

Can't say I'm a fan of Mexico or South Africa goalkeepers. I've seen Perez the first time and Khune the third time. Remember Khune from South Africa's friendly matches they played with Poland and Portugal. Had an impression that he is not a bad goalkeeper.

Haven't seen the whole match so can't say too much about it. Seen some risky actions of Perez (the one near the end of the match when he run out of the goal was unnecesary I think). Khune also was not faultless.

According to ESPN stats both goalkeepers made only 2 saves during the whole match. Though it was more.

Seems the photographers enjoyed this situation. Couldn't find more photos from the match with Perez.

That was a nice save.



Khune applauses after the end of the match. The draw is not a bad result for South Africa.
