Hmm, Spain have just walloped Poland 6-0.

The only bet against Sppain to win this World Cup is the one they peaked too soon and there is a Jose Mourinho somewhere amongst the other managers. Not in this Group there isn't though.

Switzerland v Chile is the decider here and I think that is too close to call between two rather similar sides.

Spain must be watching the rest of this competition and fancying it more and more thus far. Remains to be seen whether Germany simply caught an ageing slowing Australia as they all struggle for form and fitness playing without a forward to speak of.

Lets see what Spain make of vuvuzuelas and rubbish footballs!

Nearly 30 minutes gone and they don't look good at all. No chance of winning the world cup. No chance at all!

I take that back, their diving looks excellent. Iniesta twice in two minutes, very impressive stuff.

Pretty boring game so far in my opinion. Obviously we have to judge Spain on their amazing run of form which began a few years ago rather than on this performance but if they plan on winning this world cup then they have to learn to break teams down because a lot more teams will be more defensive and look to counter against them.

Would like to see Torres come on in the 2nd half.

I think we'll see virtually all of the bigger teams struggle a bit against sides who set their stalls out to defend. The general standard of World Cup football is better and the gap between sides is smaller, so it makes it tougher.

Yet another boring match.

Spain shouldn't have started with two sitting midfielders against a side that were only ever going to put everyone behind the ball. They desperately needed width and somebody up top to help Villa. Now that Torres and Navas are on, Spain look far, far more threatening.

Since Spain went a goal down, it's actually made the game very interesting and exciting.

Switzerland have 10 minutes to hold out but they cannot afford to sit back and let Spain take shot after shot otherwise they'll get punished.

Come on Switzerland!!!!!!!!!

Hop Suisse!!!!!!!!!!!!

(i saw it in a flag so apologies if it's naughty)

This reminds me of the England v Argentina match from 2002 when they were trying to batter down the solid English defence.
