BRAZIL and Mexico played a well- balanced game, hence the result ended up as a draw.

Brazil had the edge over Mexico but the Mexican goalkeeper made brilliant and quality saves and he deserved to be the man of the match.

The referee also handled the match with fairness, as the game was played in a fast and entertaining fashion and both teams should be happy to come out with a point each after the draw.

What I have also seen with both squads is that all the players are very young, showing a lot of talent, with quality passes. They're fast and the pace is also amazing.

The Brazilian goalkeeper was resting and was not tested as much as the Mexican goalkeeper, who made more than nine brilliant saves.

Well done to both teams. I was entertained and enjoyed the game from start to finish.

At the end of the game, football was the winner.

Thank God Bafana Bafana did not qualify, as we are far from the level of performance that we have seen in all the teams that are participating in this World Cup.

We have to start building our new-look Bafana Bafana team and beef them up with new, young talent.
