South Africa's ambassador to Mexico yesterday predicted that Mexico would win the opening game of the World Cup, prefacing his prediction with the observation that his countrymen would be angry with him. I should think so! The diplomatic prognostication would be a hard-fought 2-1 victory for the hosts, followed by Mexico bouncing back in short order and advancing to the next round along with South Africa. He went in another direction, and in the process presumably installed an unbreakable ceiling to his career advancement.
The ambassador also said that between 10,000 and 20,000 Mexicans are expected in South Africa, and that those who arrive with a ticket to watch Mexico will not need a visa.
Also, for what it's worth, Mexico jumped into the top 15 in the Fifa Meaningless Rankings, three spots ahead of the US and one behind the Chileans.
