Coming into this World Cup, there was much talk about how the winter weather might benefit European teams, and how African teams would be inspired by the fervent support of the continent, the comfort of native cuisine and the familiar sound of the deafening vuvuzelas.More broadly comparing the two regions of the world...
But 10 days into the tournament, European heavyweights are bickering and struggling, most African teams are facing elimination, and it is the fun-loving, fancy-passing South Americans who are dominating with a 7-0-2 record (now 8-0-2 following Chile's 1-0 win) and a 17-4 (now 18-4) scoring edge after Brazil's 3-1 victory against Ivory Coast on Sunday night at Soccer City.
To my European readers I give you this... it could be worse. You could be host continent and 1-7-4 in the tournament.
