SPAIN’S WORLD CUP HOPES

European Champions and World Cup favourites, Spain started their World Cup campaign on the wrong note when they lost to Switzerland in their Group H opener.


 

The Spaniards have never lost to the Swiss in previous international football matches and prominent soccer stars in the English FA Premiership and the Spanish LA LIGA such as Liverpool's Fernando Torres; Barcelona's David Villa, Iniesta, Xabi Hernandez; Real Madrid's Sergio Ramos, Xabi Alonso,etc. featured in the match.


 

However, a superb performance against Honduras has given Spain some hope although David Villa missed a penalty to deny Spain another goal in the WORLD CUP.
