00:00mexico drew at home match home stadium azteca 87 000 fans one one this isn't just a bad result
00:19this is a warning sign nobody wanted to see on day one
00:25mexico is a co-host this is their tournament their moment their crowd you could see it on
00:35mexico's faces at the final whistle that wasn't relief that was fear because here's the thing
00:44about host nations the pressure doesn't go away after a draw it doubles every single game
00:55brazil 2014 started with hope too we all know how that ended
01:02and south africa ranked 60th in the world walked into azteca and left with a point
01:11here's my honest take mexico doesn't have the squad to go deep in this tournament
01:18they never did being a host gave them confidence they haven't actually earned on the pitch
01:25south africa just proved that on the first day in front of the whole world
01:33so tell me does mexico recover from this or is this the beginning of another host nation collapse
01:42and be real was south africa's draw the biggest shock of day one drop it below let's go
