Georgia 4-1 South Africa
If South Africa's coach Jomo Sono has learned
anything from this game it is that his team have a
mountain to climb.
This was disastrous result for Bafana Bafana against a
side that is ranked 66th in the world and has not
qualified for the World Cup.
It follows their 1-0 defeat to Saudi Arabia last week.
South Africa lacked a game plan and failed to string
together any movements of note.
The inexperienced Bafana Bafana defence were simply
unable to cope with the fast direct movement of the
Georgians who controlled possession and territory
with their slick passing.
In particular the South Africans failed to cope with the
skill of striker Georgi Dimitradzi who ran past
defenders as if they were cardboard figures on a
training ground.
Red Card
The home side went ahead as early as the 12th
minute when they netted from the penalty spot
following a clumsy challenge by Aaron Mokoena.
He looked a poor shadow of the man who performed
so outstandingly at the Nations Cup in Mali.
To make matters worse Bafana Bafana were reduced
to 10 men in the 22nd minute when rookie striker
Lesley Manyathela was sent off by the Ukranian
referee for a second bookable offence.
A further goal in the 30th minute meant Georgia went
into the half-time break 2-0 up.
Further disaster struck Bafana Bafana shortly after half
time when Thabang Molefe received his marching
orders for a studs-up tackle on a Georgian player.
Delron Buckley, a second half substitute offered his
team a glimmer of hope when he struck a superb shot
from 35 metres out.
But the Georgians continued to dominate a poor South
African team.
Two further strikes in the last ten minutes sealed
Bafana Bafana's fate.
If anything, this comprehensive defeat provided an
emphatic answer to the strong calls for the injection of
young local players.
Given the performance of the side Sono might be
tempted to recall experienced professionals like Lucas
Radebe, even if he has to play on crutches.

An experimental Nigerian team salvaged a 1-1 draw
with Paraguay thanks to a late penalty from Jay Jay
Okocha.
A hastily assembled Super Eagles side was outplayed
by the South Americans in the first half.
But they rallied after the break and pulled level after
Austin Okocha converted from the penalty spot.
Carlos Gamarra had put Paraguay ahead after 20
minutes of lively entertaining football.
His powerful header proved too much of a challenge for
Ejide in the Nigerian goal.
Ogbeche showed promise
Nigeria's defence and midfield were very shakey, with
only Okocha providing some sort of stability for the
Super Eagles.
Nwankwo Kanu showed occasional flashes of
brilliance, but the team did not gel.
The individual perfomance of Bartholomew Ogbeche of
Paris Saint Germain may, though, put him in the
running for a place in Nigeria's World Cup squad.
With seven minutes remaining, referee Steve Bennett
blew for a handball against Celso Ayalo and Okocha
duly converted the penalty.
The 6,000 spectators were predominantly Nigerian,
and applauded their team from the pitch at the final
whistle.
But Paraguay had dominated the game for long spells,
and their World Cup opponents, South Africa, Spain
and Slovenia will no doubt take note

FYI, the expected lineups for the Italy-England friendly. Don't know what kind of match to expect with so many key players out for both sides. England is without Gerrard, Ferdinand, Scholes, McManaman, and Ashley Cole. I am surprised not to see Kevin Phillips, Chris Powell, Lee Bowyer, or Alan Smith getting a run. Southgate as a centreback is a surprise.
Italy is experimenting again with an altered 4-4-2 with Totti playing behind Delvecchio who is very out of form, Montella, Hubner, and Marrazzina are doing much better. Cannavaro is playing right back for Italy, which is odd since they have played a 3-5-2 or some variation since Zoff took over in 98 (they played a 4-4-1 with Cannavaro a right back after Zambrotta was sent off against Holland).
England(4-4-2): 1 Martyn; 2 Mills, 6 Campbell, 5 Southgate, 3 Bridge; 7 Beckham, 4 Lampard, 8 Butt, 11 Sinclair; 10 Owen, 9 Heskey. Subs: 13 James; 12 P. Neville, 14 Elhogu, 15 King, 16 Hergreaves, 17 Murphy, 18 Fowler, 19 J.Cole, 20 Sherngham, 21 G. Neville, 22 Vassell.
Italy (4-4-1-1): 1 Buffon; 5 Cannavaro, 6 Nesta, 3 Materazzi, 2 Panucci; 7 Zambrotta, 4 Di Biagio, 8 Zanetti, 11 Doni; 10 Totti; 9 Delvecchio. Subs: 12 Toldo, 14 Iuliano, 13 Adani, 19 Pessotto, 17 Coco, 18 Di Livio, 20 Tommasi, 15 Albertini, 16 Gattuso, 21 Montella, 22 Maccarone.

56 mins: Eduardo blasts a powerful shot from a
freekick which the Senegalese keeper needs a second
effort to save. The freekick was taken from 25 yards.
53 mins: Senegal continue to push forward but they
are making plenty of mistakes.
52 mins: Diatta misses a header deep inside the
Bolivian penalty box. The ball bounces on the turf and
the keeper catches without difficulty. It was a close
chance.
47 mins: GOAL: Senegal 1-1 Bolivia. Xavier taps
the ball home easily after a counter attack.

This game is scheduled for 8 pm GMT or 3pm EST. No broadcast info, my advice, find a pub if possible. Chuchill's is an option for the Miami based ites (5502 NE 2nd Avenue). The Brazil-Yugoslavia match is set for 9:45 Brazil time, which I think is an hour ahead of us, not sure.

0 mins: End of the match. Senegal beat Bolivia 2-1.
88 mins: Senegalese pleas for a hand ball is ignored
as Diouf's cross is deflected by a Bolivian hand.
87 mins: Senegal let the Bolivians chase shadows.
But Bolivia surge forward but the Senegalese defence
cover the spaces and the ball rolls over for a goal kick
to the hosts.

Update: England:Italy 0:0 Second Half just underway.
Very closed match as expected, Italy's first shot on goal was in the 40th minute but the pressured for the last 10 minutes of the first half. England has made 9 changes to start the second half (James, Phil Neville, Hargraves, Vassel, Fowler, King, Cole, Murphy, and Eghiou. Montella for Totti is Italy's only change.

Haven't seen the Montella goal, I'm trying to follow on Radio RAI but the reception is very poor. They described it as a powerful and well angled left foot shot from outside the area. Bridge off for England for Gary Neville, the last of the original 11.
