I really hope the Argies fall ( 😀 ).
But... who is [b]ronadlo, trev?[/b]
can't believe how lucky they were against peru... thought peru was going to have bragging rights over them for years with 2 1-1 draws home and away. still though if they lose on wednesday it might be enough to knock them out.

Originally posted by trev33The way we're playing, there's no guarantee that they won't lose the money, anyway. But it's better now that we know we won't face Greece. 😵

I agree that Fifa's decision was ridiculous, though.

Uhm, the average guy in SA can't afford a ticket, so you won't have to.

Originally posted by trev33Of course they are trying to do it, but even the round of 16 prices (at already reduced prices for South African citizens) are about a week's wages on minimum wage, where most of these poorer labourers are the only breadwinner for families of sometimes up to 10 people (a nice social cancer of the apartheid years - almost no black person of pension age has any pension).

Originally posted by Crowleydo you think ticket touting will be a bidder issue than normal due to this? because if i was south african and was able to get my hands on a couple of england last 16 tickets i know they could be sold on the black market for a nice little profit.. what is the average weekly wage in south africa anyway?
