The host nation are certain to feel the weight of expectation when they play Mexico in front of a capacity Soccer City crowd. An expected 85,000 fans will be in the stadium with millions more watching at home in anticipation.

Mokoena said: "We are looking forward to the game. We've been through the feelings of how it's going to be. It's going to be important that we go out relaxed, but of course not too relaxed, and enjoy it."
