XWorld Cup: South Africa
(Themba Hadebe / AP)
South Africa's national team poses for a photo before a friendly at home against Poland on June 6, 2009.
Men's ranking: 88
Overall World Cup record: 1-2-3
Overall World Cup record: 1-2-3
Coach: Carlos Alberto Parreira
Best performance: First round, 1998, 2002
South Africa finds itself in the same situation the U.S. was in back in 1994 -- playing host to a World Cup and expected to perform but without a legitimate star or even much of a team. The U.S. reached the second round, and Parreira's squad will be desperate to avoid the ignominy of being the first Cup host in history not to make it out the first round. Look for shaven-headed defender Matthew Booth to be busy, the Alexi Lalas of 2010 but without the hair. -- Grahame L. Jones
