Group H - Spain, Switzerland, Honduras, Chile

[GIMH]

Too true

Spain need a win to keep them in the hunt for top, tonight

I'm sure they will win like but you never know.

Looks like most of the groups are set for interesting finishes anyway.

 

[The Sean]

Yeah, Switzerland not in bad shape at all despite that result. They'd have to back themselves to beat Honduras, meaning the Chile/Spain game could well be an elimination match.

 

[pasag]

Abysmal misses at both ends, my word

Yeah, that last 20 mins was lolworthy.

Yes a two goal win would definitely put Switzerland through whatever the other results.

The result just gone is both bad and good for Spain, Spain will probably have to win both games now but they have it in their own hands to finish top now (and presumably avoid Brazil).

 

[Pothas]

Bloody hell I love Chile but they have just missed a stupid amount of chances.

Really hope they go through, would be much better for the tournament that Switzerland going through but fear they will go out now on goal difference.

Will have to get a draw with Spain or I think only lose by 1 and hope Switzelrand only win by one.

 

[The Sean]

Torres and Villa both start, Silva dropped for Navas.

 

[The Sean]

What. A. Goal.

 

[R_D]

Great goal...
Why didn't Torres start last match... Was he injured ?

 

[The Sean]

Great goal...
Why didn't Torres start last match... Was he injured ?

Yeah was coming back from injury. He still looks half a yard short TBH.

Honduras actually look pretty dangerous going forward but are a bit of shambles in defence, visibly terrified every time Spain have the ball.

 

[FaaipDeOiad]

Spain look pretty impressive this time around.

 

[R_D]

Seems fair enough I guess...
I thought might have been something to do with Spanish manager trying to fit in all those midfielders. They do have huge amount of talent in midfield positions.

 

[R_D]

2 easy misses for Torres...should've scored the second chance there.

[The Sean]

By the letter of the law (ie. what happens to Australians ) I reckon that should have been a straight red for Villa.

 

[GIMH]

Missed the first half, Spain looked good then hey? Who scored?

 

[The Sean]

Spain look very sharp, should be more than a goal up - a match-fit and in-form Torres would have a hat trick by now. Villa scored a cracker.

 

[The Sean]

Ha ha, embarrassingly simple.

 

[GIMH]

Ha, well he just scored another beauty. Cheers.

 

[The Sean]

Unbelievable. Villa gets a penalty for his hat trick and misses it.

 

[GIMH]

Awful

 

[The Sean]

And after 155 mins of football for Spain at this World Cup, Fabregas finally gets a run out.

Edit - and almost scores with his first touch!
