If you recall, SA had to play WC qualifiers (first time a host nation had to do so) in order to qualify for African Cup. AND IT COULDN'T EVEN ADVANCE OUT OF THE WC QUALIFIERS, making the first and possibly last host nation to host WC that it didn't even qualify for. When Japan and South Korea hosted the WC, they were lucky to have the weaker Euro/American nations in their groups so both advanced. But not this time for South Africa, which is in a tough group.

France is the 2nd best team in the world according to the 2006 world cup but they will be under a lot of pressure because of the qualifying hand ball by thierry henry. mexico is also a very strong team because the finished 2nd in the north american qualifiers.they also won the gold cup and are on a winning streak. South Africa is the host and the host rarely doesn't pass the first round.Uruguay finish last in the south american qualifiers but is still a good team.

In addition France will be under scrutiny if any decision goes the way of its players after Thierry Henry's clear handball. The Mexicans have talent but tend to underperform. After a slow start, Mexico emerged strong in the qualifiers. Mexico will likely go through. This leaves Uruguay as the weak link. South Africa will be cut some slack considering the host nation often gets calls to go its way.

It's extremely rare for the host country not to advance. But if South Africa does advance, who doesn't advance from this group? Would it be Mexico, France or Uruguay?
