Today’s bet is fairly simple. Back South Africa at 15/8 to get through World Cup Group A - where they are joined by disjointed France, aging Mexico and so-bad-they-were-outclassed-by-Maradona’s-Argentina Uruguay.
The main reason to fancy them is that no World Cup host has ever failed to get through the first round, while they gave a good account of themselves at last summer’s Confederations Cup.
Our love for Steven Pienaar has had no influence whatsoever, honest!
