Swiss shocker


Just as I started to dump on the 2010 World Cup (a little bit, don't get me wrong I'm still watching everything), the biggest upset of the tournament just happened.

Switzerland hung on for the 1-0 win over Spain, the favorites of Group H and along with Brazil the team that everyone is picking to win it all.

It was no fluke. Granted, the Swiss goal was a lucky bounce but you need those to win, especially when you're the huge underdog. Switzerland held the fort despite a flurry of chances from all the Spanish studs.

They almost added a second goal too. This kickstarts the tournament too, fittingly in the last opening match.

Chile plays Switzerland on Monday (10:00 a.m.) and Honduras meets Spain (2:30 p.m.) on Monday.

The second games begin with Uruguay-South Africa this afternoon at 2:30 p.m.
