There are always great people wherever you go. We were drinking last night with some Mexicans, some locals. Everybody loves the World Cup. Football just brings people together.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Sunday\u2019s match was unchartered territory for Canada and South Africa. Both had never been past the group stage before. So, not only were they both in an elimination game for the first time, it ended up being history-making for Canada.<\/p>\n<p>South Africa, which was expelled from FIFA in 1976 as a consequence of its apartheid government, returned to participation in 1992, but didn\u2019t qualify for the World Cup until 1998, and also made appearances in 2002 and 2010.<\/p>\n<p>Canada qualified for the World Cup in 1986 and 2022.<\/p>\n<p>South Africa, also dubbed Bafana-Bafana, finished as the runners-up in Group A after stunning South Korea 1-0 in its final Group game to finish in second place.<\/p>\n<p>South Africa, ranked No. 61 in the world, is the third-lowest ranked side to play in the knockout stages of a World Cup, joining Nigeria (74th in 1998), Russia (70th in 2018) and even with Japan (61st in 2018).<\/p>\n<p>There weren\u2019t nearly as many South African fans on hand in comparison to Canada. There even appeared to be more Mexican fans in attendance on Sunday.<\/p>\n<p>But the South African fans there were ready to get loud despite suffering a heartbreaking loss in the final minutes.<\/p>\n<p>Lesley Linnett, his wife Taryh and daughter Sky are from Cape Town, South Africa. They now live in Santa Barbara, so the opportunity to be at Sunday\u2019s game worked out perfectly.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>Lesley Linnett, his wife Taryh and daughter Sky are from Cape Town here to watch South Africa.
