FIFA World Cup 2010 – Group H Preview

Spain has been the dominant team in Group H. The top rankings of the Euro 2008 champions are the favorites to win the World Cup. The closest they came to win the award was difficult semifinal end of 2002, when the event was organized jointly by Japan and Korea. I can not think of Chile, Honduras and Switzerland to mount any challenge to the hegemony of Spain in the group.

That said, the pressure of expectation is heavy in Spain. They are the team in shape, come from within€ successful campaign.

Spain hopes to obtain from the group matches without much fuss, in their pursuit of their championship. In David Villa and Torres have a more powerful combination attacks that most of the defense can be deceiving.

David Villa Xavi and Xabi Alonso is trying to support midfielder Sergio Busquets. Pedro, they just show support for the two in front, in case one of them were on the bench for some reason. Torres could be particularly important in SpainEquation of things, as indeed demonstrated in the final of Euro 2008, where he scored the winning goal.

In Carlos Puyol can have an all-rounder Spain lead the rest of the line of defense if any opposition front on a rampage. He is also capable of hunting with dogs, if necessary – really a dream for every coach.

Spain and Switzerland met last in 1989. Neither team is the one that was then. Switzerland has always been something of a worker, and only scrapedthrough qualification. Spain has played Chile, 2-0, 1950 in the cabinet, its recent meeting in a friendly in 1950, finished 3-0 for the promotion in Spain. Honduras has a better performance against Spain, a 1-1 draw in World Cup 1982.

South American teams, Chile and Honduras, have never met in any World Cup before. They won two of the four test matches played in the last ten years.

Switzerland has met and lost 1-3 to Chile in the toilet in 1962. Honduras has never played against the Swiss,expect that the best preservation of them, because the relative strengths of both teams.

Then, the second in this group might be a choice of seats between Chile and Honduras. The winner is expected to Brazil, taken within the last 16 years. It 's like falling out of the pan fan the fire. It is a cruel world!
