Group H - Spain, Switzerland, Honduras, Chile

Oh and despite the BBC commentators Switzerland weren't negative at all.

Spain had most of the ball, yet Switzerland were well worth their goal in the end. The Swiss played two proper forwards, they put men forward when they had the ball. Is it their fault they happened to play very well defensively and Spain are an over-rated bunch of prima donna cheats? Nope.

Said tonnes about how good the Swiss defence was that Xavi and Iniesta had to piss about with the corners in the 2nd half.

Not if they lose to Chile and don't even get that far...
I'd expect all the sides to beat Honduras. So if Chile get any sort of result against Switzerland then chances are Spain will have to beat Chile in the last game. That could be fun. If Chile beat Switzerland then Spain would have it in their own hands to top the group.

Over-rated?

Their record going into the tournament was P48 W45 D2 L1 ffs, the core of their side plays for the best club side in the world.

And they lost to USA in the Confederations Cup and just lost to Switzerland. Anyone who has them down as even second favourites is living in cloud ****oo land - a lot of people had them even better than that.

Well done Switzerland but hope they lose to Chile who were great to watch, they will need to take their chances thought that is for sure.

Chile top and Spain second would be great for the tournament.

Well done to Switzerland and all, but they better now wise up and go out in the first round. Worst team to watch in the tournament, IMO.

Finally someone who speaks sense. The first week has been all 'aww, it's so defensive and dull'. Then someone wins with two shots on target and we're supposed to celebrate it? 8-)

(They share that title with Cameroon, Denmark, Slovenia and a few others.)

It's easy for guys like yourselves from non-participating countries to be all sullen about the Swiss victory. For us guys it's awesome news to see Spain with egg on their face. :cool:
