The European media were shocked and began to question the strength of the French team. According to media reports, even bookmakers have begun to adjust the odds of the French team to win the championship.

In China, there was a wave of excitement and revelry because of this victory, as one domestic media said, although this victory does not mean that the Chinese team is stronger than the world champion French team, but, at the very least, on this night, in this game, these lads deserve the pride and pride of all football 'fans' for them.

After playing the warm-up match against France, the Chinese team left for China, but Yang Fan did not return with the team, he left for Johannesburg, South Africa, to watch the South African World Cup match start in a few days, the opening match is South Africa vs. Mexico.

Yang Fan's arrival in Johannesburg became the big news of the day, in the words of the media, the sensation caused by Yang Fan's appearance alone is not inferior to the appearance of a strong European team! As the number one star in today's football, because the Chinese team missed the World Cup, this also made Yang Fan absent from the World Cup, which is considered to be the biggest regret of this World Cup.

"Without Yang Fan's World Cup, I always feel that something is missing...... It's like a delicious fruitcake without the most delicious cherry. -- The columnist of the "Team Daily" also expressed his feelings in his column.

Three days later, the opening match of the 2010 World Cup in South Africa will be played at the Football Stadium.

Frankly, the organization of the World Cup was not satisfactory, there were only two roads to drive from the city to the football city, and the highway with only three lanes was so congested that police cars had to be sent to clear the way for the media and FIFA dignitaries. Read the full text of the latest chapterThe World Cup was supposed to be an opportunity for South Africa to improve public access, but on the day of the opening game, public access was still almost non-existent.

However, Yang Fan does not have to suffer from traffic jams, as the first star in today's football, he enjoyed special courtesy, the South Africa World Cup Organizing Committee specially arranged a special car for him, and arranged in a luxury box, after arriving at the stadium, Yang Fan met an old acquaintance, the organizing committee arranged him and Ballack in a box.

The two of them were very happy to meet and talked happily. Of course, Ballack also has some loneliness and regret behind his smile, he injured his ankle in May and had to miss this World Cup, which is a great regret and blow for Ballack. He is in his thirties, this World Cup may be Ballack's last World Cup, with the strength of the German team, there is still hope to hit the championship, and as the captain of the German team, Ballack can only watch the game from the stands, which is indeed a bit regretful and cruel for the veteran.

The opening ceremony was like a nonsensical light comedy, in fact, about 10 minutes before the opening ceremony began, some reporters saw that the team participating in the performance belatedly entered from the side of the court.

Well, maybe the dance of the opening ceremony 'Mantis Kicking Ball' should be counted.

Compared with the program of the opening ceremony, everyone is obviously more concerned about whether Mandela, the 'spirit' leader of the whole South Africa and even the African continent, will attend. Mandela's great-grandchild's 'daughter' died in a car accident on the eve of the race, and the white-haired man sent the black-haired man, and there is nothing more painful in the world than this. Mandela, who was deeply grieved, issued a statement to his own foundation before the game that he would no longer be able to attend the event, even though Mandela was very keen to be with his people at such a historic moment to witness and 'inspire' South Africa forward.

The scribbled opening ceremony was as casual as the 'sex' personality of the Africans, but as FIFA Blatter said, "The important thing is that football came to Africa, and in the first World Cup on the continent, she really started." ”

The opening game between hosts South Africa and Mexico was actually a dull one, with Mexico completely in control of the situation in the first half, but they missed too many chances. Mexico put their main attack on the right side of Bella, and he and Santos took turns attacking, with South Africa barely fighting back. But the problem for Mexico is that they have enough agility and impact up front, but it seems that breaking down South Africa's goal has become an extremely difficult task.

Yang Fan chatted with Ballack, as the host, South Africa played so passively at home was very unexpected for the two, African teams have never lacked physical ability, but in the first half, their 'force' grabbed was too loose, too light, so Mexico went through the half to organize the attack, and began the half-court offensive and defensive exercises. The scene was so passive, South African coach Pereira has begun to get agitated, and has been standing on the sidelines shouting dispatch. What is even more surprising is that South African football 'fans' are more relaxed about the passive situation.

The Mexicans were impeccable in the first half, only, the biggest problem was that they were not able to score.

Perhaps it was too much of a first-half advantage that allowed Mexico to relax a bit, but South Africa seized the counter-attack and scored a goal from Chabalala at the start of the second half. It was also the first goal of this World Cup.

Chabalala was the most 'outstanding' player in South Africa in the first half, and South Africa's goals from the break to the goal were almost all touches, and the final 'goal' kick was even more perfect, a classic counterattack! From the slightly frustrated silence to the wild celebrations of the whole stadium, it only took one goal for the voices of more than 80,000 spectators, Vevezula, to resonate in the sky.

Yang Fan even had to cover his ears at this moment, he really couldn't stand this kind of cheering artifact of the South Africans.

"What is this?" Yang Fan asked.

"What?" Barak didn't hear what he was saying, and at this moment, the whole stadium was filled with the sound of humming zula, which was simply maddening.

"Huzzula" is a horn more than 1 meter long, which was mostly made of aluminum, tin and other metals in the last century. Later, because the material was considered too hard and too dangerous, plastic products eventually appeared. However, tens of thousands of plastic "buzzing zula" chirping together on the pitch can still create a high-decibel noise that induces deafness.

The noise caused by the "buzzula" caused a lot of complaints at last year's Confederations Cup, and FIFA also intended to ban "Wawazulla" from the venue, but the ban was eventually lifted under pressure from the South African Football Federation. FIFA President Sepp Blatter said with a smile, "This is the atmosphere of South African and African football, where the pitch is full of sound, 'excitement', dancing and enjoyment, and it's a way to celebrate." The FIFA press officer said, "Vuvuzela is a voice that is fair to both teams. ”

The Mexicans then equalised and the final result of the game was 1-1.

After the opener, the goal and the game itself were stolen from the spotlight, and people were talking about Buzzula again.

More than 80,000 spectators showed the world the power of vuvuzela. However, after the game, South Africa's goalkeeper Kuné still complained that the ball 'fans' failed to make enough noise and did not reflect the South African team's home advantage. "Our whole team wants to hear more of the Vuvuzela in the game, and that excites us. However, in today's game, I was disappointed. ”

After hearing Cune's complaints, everyone was shocked. At the opening ceremony, the Football City Stadium, which can accommodate 94,000 spectators, poured into 84,490 spectators, not to mention the ball 'fans' in the ordinary stands, even Yang Fan and Barak in the luxury box were a little unbearable.
