South Africa eliminated France 2-1 but became first host country in history of World Cup not to advance. Evidently the speech by French sports minister Roselyne Bachelot which supposedly left some players in tears was not enough. Presumably there will a price to pay for this early elimination when they get back to France...

"When the snows fall and the white winds blow, the lone wolf dies but the pack survives."
Winter is Coming

Now this is the Law of the Jungle—as old and as true as the sky; And the wolf that shall keep it may prosper, but the wolf that shall break it must die.
As the creeper that girdles the tree-trunk, the Law runneth forward and back; For the strength of the Pack is the Wolf, and the strength of the Wolf is the Pack.
