Thursday’s World Cup opener is a repeat of the 2010 group-stage opener, which ended 1–1 in Johannesburg. Mexico enter the tournament as co-hosts with the USA and Canada and are in strong form, unbeaten in their last eight friendlies (six wins, two draws), with the draws coming against Belgium and Portugal. South Africa would likely be satisfied with a draw, as they were in 2010, having gone five matches without a win and coming off a round-of-16 exit at AFCON.
