Although playing against a host nation could be daunting when considering the home support from fans and other factors . However, South Africa has ended up setting two bad records tonight.There could be more that I didn't notice:
1. The first yellow card of the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
2. The first team to receive two red cards in the opening game of FIFA World Cup.
Now , the remaining teams in Group A will see South Africa as a team they can easily get 3 points from. Too bad for them! I think they need to approach the remaining games cautiously. If they are lucky , maybe they could get a draw and a win and still qualify for the next round but I don't see them going far in the tournament. ESH
