The elevation in Johannesburg is 5,751 feet above sea level, which puts it 471 feet above the "Mile High" city of Denver. The players and coaching staff first started noticing the effects in warm-ups today, and will continue to acclimatize throughout the week. The weather may also be a factor, with temperatures in the afternoon reaching the mid-80's. With a 4 p.m. local time kickoff, the players may be working against a couple of other factors besides the Bafana Bafana.

I'm seeing some sort of pattern that I like. With the South Africa game being played in an intense altitude, and then rumors of the U.S. playing Mexico in Houston which has smog problems, I think Bob might be looking for a win at the Azteca.
Haha We can only hope that's true Kasey. I want a rematch there!
