weak #1 seed at at the moment, France and Mexico must be favored to move on.
A look at the teams in Group A
SOUTH AFRICA
Manager: Carlos Alberto Parreira
Key player: Kagisho Dikgacoi
Best: Round one (1998, 2002)
World ranking: 86
Qualifying as hosts has its obvious advantages giving straight passage without having to kick a
ball in anger.
Bath City drew 1-1 with Newport County on Saturday. Despite some flashes of brilliant play on both
sides, it was a match best described as a stalemate. In fact, a lot more excitement for me took
place off the pitch than on it.
Big Nedved Junior and I arrived very early at Twerton Park on Saturday morning.
