Blatter confident of South Africa's good show

Bafana Bafana, ranked 83rd in the world, have been drawn in a tough Group A against Mexico, Uruguay and former champions France, raising concerns they may be the first hosts to bow out of soccer's showpiece tournament in the first round.

"They are on the right way, the right way to go to the next round. I do hope so, it would be good, it would be good for the organisation, it would be good for everybody," he said.
