    It's like a #15 seed over a #2 seed in the NCAA tourney is probably the best way to describe it...

    It is like a 10 year old knock out a pro in boxing.

    Most people i know betting on Spain with 2-0 or 3-0. Or at least betting Spain gonna win with 2 score difference.

    The official ball plays part of the reason, although every world cups players do complain about the every new ball introduced. But you can see that swiz just putting up to 9-10 ppl around/inside the penalty zone, whenever spain is advancing close to penalty zone, or having a free kick or try to do a cross

    My girlfriend had Spain finishing second in their group "just for fun" LOL... if she beats me in predictions, I give up at life. Spain can still make a comeback though, it's early.

    Thing is, surprises like this are more common in Football than other sports. it is still group stage, so not the end of the world yet....for Spain that is.

    It is kinda the end of the world for Spain , if Chile beats Switz, Chile will put a wall against Spain on last game, assuming everyone will beat Honduras.

    Anyways i am used to see Spain sucking balls on world cups, nothing new here .

    I'm feeling... SA 1 - URU 0

    It's been a low scoring World Cup, and the underdogs are showing more bite than the big dogs.

    I'm saying Uruguay, but I think a goaless draw or 1-1. I know the South Africans have got the boost of being the host nation etc but I don't think it'll be enough for them to pull a win out the hat.

    Hope it ends in a draw, that way Mexico has a chance to advance since they fucked up the first game.

    It's entertaining now, both are going back and forth.
