jenni_blogWho would have thought that Chile would be topping Group H? And playing the best match of the World Cup so far. It's been such a strange World Cup. Very unpredictable. I would say, though, that after making the statement a few days ago to "watch out for Switzerland", Spain didn't ! All that passing...there was something so languid about it. They looked like they really lacked the killer instinct until it was too late. Not to take anything away from Switzerland, though. They played a superb game tactically and took advantage of the opportunity to score when it was presented to them. Damn...I knew this group would be interesting, though. Vamos, Chile! You hot little South Americans! YEAAAHHHH!!

I don't want to belittle Switzerland's victory, they did a damned fine job and were especially fantastic in the back (then again, that's no surprise considering the identity of their coach), but I expected Spain to make more of an effort, just like they did at the Euro. They're full of excellent, highly skilled players, and they should bloody well SHOW IT.
