Im over the moon that France are out. Ive already shared my opinions on the attitude of the French squad during this tournament and they just completely self destructed because of it. I was hoping that Uruguay and South Africa would improve on their goal difference today as i think its a shame they have gone out. As ive already said, i think they have been great hosts and have given it a real shot too. I think 4 points from the group stages still makes a successful campaign for them but what a way to finish it - Domenech refusing to shake Parreira's hand after the match! Pathetic.

Good job Domenech's well and truly on his way out now.
Probably the best performance of the tournament from the South Africans, and they really should've got 3 or 4. Just a shame that characteristic lapse in defence cost them a goal in the end though.
As for the French, pathetic. Not that I expected more to be honest.
