O.M.G. - we’re level again!!! Spain scored in the 4th minute and I thought for sure that our World Cup trip was over. My wife (watching the game at home) told me that Spain were in total charge, and that we had hardly had a chance to play, let alone shoot… And then - out of nowhere - _ITOOOOOOOOOOOOOMAA_!!! Benni McCarthy slides it home to tie the game… Come on _Bafana Bafana_!!! Grim 😃 (wishing that he had the rainbow simlie right now) ---

Come on S Africa. No offence but I’d rather Ireland play you than Spain. Actually I’m sure you’d rather play us than Germany so we can both agree 🙂 ---

That was supposed to be previewed rather than submitted - Ah well, my rendition of the South African Flag… We need a black smiley and a white smiley 🙂 Grim ---

No way! Look what happened when we last gave black and white smilies to South Africans. 😉 I’m rooting for RSA too. I dunno, I just like them. It’s gonna be hard to level or beat Spain, though. Good luck! ---

If Spain score another goal, but the Paraguay-Slovenia game stays the same, we **draw lots** to see who goes through!! How annoying will that be?? Grim ---
