Bad luck, **grimpixie**. It sounded a great game, and it’s be a shame not to see you chaps in the next round.

☹ ☹ ☹ ☹ ☹ ☹ ☹

Too bad we had to leave in this way - I would rather Spain had beaten us 4-0 than to play so well and still go out.

Thanks all

At least you went out in great style. It’s a shame, though.

If anyone ever is feeling bad about how they’ve done on their job, just think how poor Andre Arendse feels right now.

I’d a hell of a lot rather see South Africa through than Chilavert and the Paraguayans. Great to see the stupid Chilavert prove again that a big mouth doesn’t make a great 'keeper.

Tough luck, Bafana Bafana, and let’s see you again in 2006, and hosting in 2010! 🙂
