An intriguing opening day, packed with colour, excitement, verve, passion, skill.... oh who are we kidding - game one was a kids kickabout (minus the cricket-score finishing), game two was more tedious than an evening with Alan Shearer and Alan Hanse... oh wait. Even the barely comprehensible 'Manu' Adebayor couldn't make their 'spray tans and golf-quips' schtick look any more engaging.
On the plus side though, I'm pleased to report a return to the Kabbadi-style tackling of the '80s from the Uruguay team, and I must provide an honourable mention to the TV coverage line of the day - Colin Murray, when explaining why Mark Bright didn't make his dream first XI footie team of BBC pundits: "yeh Mark doesn't make it because... welll... he was always RUBBISH anyway". Good.
In the spirit of opening day, here is some entirely superfluous tripe from the opening ceremony the Saffa's official World Cup 2010 song. It's crap, naturally.
