Just wondering how many bok players will be “unfairly” targeted by the ref.
I can hear it already, “oh they are just picking on us cos we are saffa wankers”
Maybe not the last word…

Despite the banter being thrown around here the talk coming out of the Bok squad sounds just right. They’re not getting too far ahead of themselves. It sounds about the same as the South African cricket side before taking a Test series in Australia. Right balance of intensity and perspective.

Going to be a cracking game, should be very close. The ABs will throw the kitchen sink.

Don’t care about the result, all that matters is how we play.

wow, there sure are one or two Saffa fans getting way ahead of themselves……… the game still has to be played boys, and I reckon it’s anyones game. Who wants/needs it more?

A little perspective is needed here….. please. The AB’s are our greatest rivals, on their home patch, with something to prove. This is gonna be a big challenge for da Boks!

Keo’s having a bob each way: one on his blog and the opposite on his Twitter.

(At least Paul the Predicting German Octopus makes unambiguous predictions. And an octopus is spineless!)

“The AB’s have to b favourites. Boks only 2 sessions in nz before playing. Nz 2 win on sat. Boks to win 2 & 3 v NZ”

Keo, on Twitter.

He thinks the Boks are going to lose. And the Eden Park record will be intact since 1937.

That’s what Keo thinks.

Watched a bit of rugby game between ABs and Boks earlier tonite on ESPN Classic.

ABs won of course, back in 1997.

Im looking forward to this weekend’s match as I want to understand the mental strength of the current squad.

That’s why its called a “test”

@Tacitus(Tacitus)-296: They're African and so am I, how more do you want in common! Not withstanding they're a group of gentlemen and I enjoy watching them play. They were excellent against those thugs and tonight's match would've been much more exciting, One thing's for sure I have fck all in common with you!!

@Tacitus(Tacitus)-298:

A Forlan free kick is edge of the seat stuff – you expect something to happen.

Schweinsteiger – the way he provides ball to the strikers Podolski and Klose – quite classic.

Listen to me, you’d swear i’d been watching soccer for years.

@Heavens Game(Heavens Game)-297: Don't hide away tomorrow. I was here at the time you asked where I was, but on the other thread where you and David were busy with your past teams. It was an enjoyable semi today after all the to and fro parrying early on. See you later. It has to be Holland vs. Germany and no other.

@Heavens Game(Heavens Game)-288: they wanted to moer van bommel, he was taunting them the whole evening! Kicking the sh.t out if them, he is lucky really to get away with a yellow card.

@I am a stormer(I am a stormer)-295: Forlan must be the best striker of the ball I saw this tournament. But his short passes seemed to give away a lot of possession. Maybe he just didn't have enough support. But there's no one I'd rather have taking a free kick or getting the ball with a bit of space in front of the goal area.

@ET(ET)-291: Good man… If they do get to the finals then let the chirps begin… Still a big game tomorrow and they haven’t reached the final yet… It will be an incredible final for SA to have – positive xposure to an even higher level as a backdrop to war on the pitch!!! Still mch to do before then… I will be here tomorrow supporting Der Mannschaft and chewing the fat over my times in Munich and Frankfurt ! I am enjoying the drama and this is coming from someone who does not have an affinity for the game – its the drama and the vibe coming from SA – incredible…
