South Africa vs. Uruguay, 2:30PM ET
This game is key for both teams as all four members of Group A tied in their openers. While South Africa is the host nation, it is not as solid a team as Uruguay. Take advantage of a decent money line due to the boost South Africa is getting due to its home edge. Uruguay is ranked 18th nationally as a team and it tied France in the opener. Look for Uruguay to pick up the big win.
