South Africa beat France 2-1 for only their second FIFA World Cup™ victory, but both teams ultimately emerged losers in Bloemfontein.

Carlos Alberto Parreira's team became the first host nation to fail to qualify for the tournament's second round while a miserable campaign from the French came to a predictable conclusion as they also bowed out of South Africa 2010.

    Hugo Lloris managed to survive to the worst french football era to win a World Cup 8 years later

    To be fair, SA was in a pretty tough group.
  • 2010 was the best year in South Africa, everything and everyone was very happy, despite being knocked out of the group stages, no regrets from me. 🇿🇦❤️🌍

    That French team was a disgrace to their nation. An embarrassment on and off the pitch.
  • Tbh france was playing with 4 Arsenal defenders what do they expect
  • as an Irish person I am so thankful that France played like how we would have in the world cup

    This squad had 1998 World Cup winners (Henry) and 2018 World Cup winners (Lloris), brought together to deliver an absolute disasterclass.

    Lloris has been around for ages. From the loss to South Africa in WC 2010, winning the WC in Russia 2018 to the loss to Switzerland in Euro 2020. 11 years!
  • Wow. If Mphela doesn't hit the post, SA is up 3-0 needing only one more goal to advance. And you can't tell me that at home they wouldn't have found that final goal against 10-men France. What could've been

    And now they manage to reach the world cup final in two successive edition, what a team! 🔥
  • @abdulkareem6400
    The fact that South Africa went for goals against a team like France says a lot
