Soccer is one of the most popular games in the world. Each year it draws hundreds of thousands of fans and creates intense rivalries between teams and nations.

Rafael Marquez denied South Africa a dream start to their FIFA World Cup™ with a late equaliser for Mexico in a 1-1 draw in an absorbing Opening Match at Soccer City.

As for the resilient Mexico team, they have the reputation of being one of the few teams that have made it to the knockout stage of the previous four World Cups. The team is at a crucial stage with youngsters settling in and the veterans adjusting their styles to the new team. South Africa will be looking to upset the Mexicans to keep the crown optimism going. An early defeat could mean some local fans losing interest in the tournament from the very beginning.
