Chile have a defence like a Swiss cheese. They play like Spain without defenders. If I was Spain I'd be more worried about Honduras, who play a lot rougher - and it seems to be being 'beaten up' that causes Spain problems.

I agree - I think they'll thump Chile but potentially struggle against Honduras - especially if they don't get an early goal.

And they shouldn't - because the Spanish looked like quality whereas the English did not. The Swiss were lucky, both for the goal and to keep 11 players on the pitch. They employed the kind of tactics teams of old used to use to try to neutralise Pele - i.e. keep kicking him. That said, Spain should have scored many times. But with the quality of the forward line they have, they will.

And I am not surprised the Spanish supporters were and are underplaying their chances - it is often considered bad luck in many Latin countries to be too confident.
I disagree byt ive been at hhe pub for a while so dont rele care.
