Title: South Africa v New Zealand Post by: Doore on Wednesday, June 17, 2009, 17:11:43 BBC3, 7 O'clock. Hardly the most exciting prospect but at this time of year I'll take any football I can get. Will anyone else be watching?

Title: Re: South Africa v New Zealand Post by: Rich Pullen on Wednesday, June 17, 2009, 17:16:26 South Africa were abysmal against Iraq.
There was an interesting article in WSC recently about the South African's. Apparently this will be the first World Cup where the hosting nations football fanbase won't give a shit about their own national team - they'll pick other teams to support.

Title: Re: South Africa v New Zealand Post by: Doore on Wednesday, June 17, 2009, 20:07:51 It is a bit of a non event.
Title: Re: South Africa v New Zealand Post by: Reg Smeeton on Wednesday, June 17, 2009, 20:08:49 I was initially interested by the fact that the only white in the SA side seemed to be booed everytime he touched the ball. Took a while to realise because he is called Booth.
Title: Re: South Africa v New Zealand Post by: Rich Pullen on Wednesday, June 17, 2009, 20:13:11 In other news - North Korea have qualified for the World Cup.

I seem to remember (although giving great support to their own teams) a large number of South Koreans and Japanese supported other teams too!

Tis true but by all accounts many SA football fans won't give their nation any support at all. Title: Re: South Africa v New Zealand Post by: 4D on Wednesday, June 17, 2009, 20:30:54 Tis true but by all accounts many SA football fans won't give their nation any support at all. Oh! Did they explain why? Title: Re: South Africa v New Zealand Post by: Rich Pullen on Wednesday, June 17, 2009, 20:34:42 Oh! Did they explain why? Can't remember the full reason - the Bafana Bafana aren't massively popular. Title: Re: South Africa v New Zealand Post by: Bogus Dave on Wednesday, June 17, 2009, 20:35:30 And they're shit
