Mandela misses WC opener after tragedy
It should have been a moment of triumph — Nelson Mandela, basking in the cheers as Africa's first World Cup opened.
Instead, South Africa's beloved anti-apartheid icon stayed at home with his family Friday in northern Johannesburg during the opening ceremony and game, mourning his 13-year-old great-granddaughter Zenani, who died in a car crash on the way home from a tournament-eve concert in Soweto.

Miscellaneous Soccer Commentary
Businesslike Dutch Into Final If you asked the man on the street before the World Cup who he was most looking forward to watching, the Netherlands would have featured prominently. Their 3-2 defeat of Uruguay sent them into the final for the third time in their history, but who'd have predicted that they would have achieved the feat in such pragmatic fashion?
Henry Has Plenty To Give One of my enduring frustrations of last season was the tendency of the so called 'experts' and people in the sports media world to write off Thierry Henry. The Frenchman has joined New York Red Bulls from Barcelona in one of the biggest deals the MLS has ever seen and I believe he can be a genuine success stateside.
Totti Not Done Yet I was interested to read quotes from the great Francesco Totti that he considered quitting the game in the wake of his kick at Mario Balotelli. The Roma captain's 'tackle' was atrocious, one of those heinous acts you occasionally see in professional soccer, all the more shocking for its rare nature.
Totti was apparently provoked by enfant terrible Balotelli but there was nothing to excuse the extremity of the kick.
Everyone loves transfer talk based purely on speculation
