Come on South Africa!

Good bye France - 2-0 down now!

South Africa still need a lot of goals as it stands but they could go through.

Uruguay have to win 1-0 for them to go through and they are.

No, Mexico are still through on goal difference, they are +1, SA are -2 as it stands

France just scored :mad:

Nobody cheered there. Nobody.

It's the target to hit from corners.
Harr harr harr.

It's always important to spell French with a capital "F" as Gaeilge.
With a small "f", francaigh is the Irish for rats!

England up a goal. I'm in two minds, on one hand, it'd be hilarious if England lost and were booted out early - after all their cockiness. On the other hand, it'll make it far more exciting if they make it into the knock-out stages.

I want England to go through. If they get knocked out now and Capello subsequently quits like some are suggesting it'd probably mean Roy Hodgson coming in. I want him to stay at Fulham and continue the amazing job he's done there.

Drama - US score in the last minute to top the group!

Insect Overlord

Very happy for the USA, great to see them top the group

rebel girl 15

Thought they weren't going to score at one stage - hit the post, had a goal disallowed for offside (though that was a 50/50 decision in fairness!)

America, **** yeah!

I want it to end for their personal well being. Shame one of them has to lose

To be fair Mahut is still going strong. Isner may as well be in a wheelchair right now for all his mobility.

Keep us posted on how that tie-breaker finishes!

Does it ever end???
Mahut--54
Isner-55

Looks like it'll be 55 all in a minute!
They're only winning the games that they're serving!

Just been told that their last set has lasted as long as what the previous longest game was - something like 6 hours. That is an unbelievable game!

Apparently the winner has to play their next match tomorrow though! I don't know how they'll be able to do it after today's match.

That is crazy and so unfair on the guy that wins!

Germany 1-0 up btw!

Mahut's fitness coach must be the hardest bastard ever inflicted on young athletes.

rebel girl 15

Mahut saved a match point with an ace! Chance lost for Isner....

Australia 2-0 up, Germany 1-0 up
