In the Spain vs Switzerland match, we learned Spain is not untouchable. Spain are not perfect and the USA win over Spain was not a fluke. An interesting statistic, no team has ever won the World Cup after losing their first game. You could say that Switzerland's goal was scrappy and bad, but hey, a goal is a goal. They all count the same.
Chile could be the underdogs of this tournament. They play with style and flair almost like a young Brazil team. Yes, they won 1-0 but credit to Honduras. In the final third, they shut down Chile. It took an amazing save by the Honduras Keeper to keep it at 1-0. Chile might be the most underrated team in the tournament.
It was very sad to see South Africa lose to Uruguay. Diego Furlan has proven to be one of the best players in this tournament. He is the first player to score two goals. If you were to ask me, I want Bafana Bafana to get through. This means that France and Mexico would have to tie, then South Africa needs to beat France and Uruguay beat Mexico.
