World Cup 2010 Feature Coverage

Each side coming off a tie, host nation South Africa faces Uruguay to establish dominance in Group A. If South Africa manages to find the net even once while keeping Uruguay scoreless, the locals put themselves in a decent position to advance. Uruguay has other plans, of course.

If you thought those vuvuzelas were loud, just wait until this match gets underway, as local fans do their best to inspire The Boys to take it all the way on home soil.

Players to watch
Itumeleng Khune v Diego Forlan

South Africa's exciting young goalkeeper, Itumeng Khune, is in the form of his life, as seen by his flying save from Alessandro Dos Santos in the second half of the game against Mexico. He showed his importance to Bafana Bafana in that Opening Match and may need to be at his best again to deny a Uruguay front line including Atletico Madrid striker Diego Forlan. Although expected to play behind the front two, Forlan will be hustling for an opportunity to open his account after missing a late scoring chance against France. South Africa showed a lack of concentration when conceding an equaliser to Mexico and Forlan will be looking to exploit any such weaknesses.
