World Cup Roundup Day 6: Spanish meltdown

Spain and South Africa suffered crushing defeats. The Spanish were highly tauted for their vaunted record in the last two years that came with their offense. Switzerland effectively shutdown the box and frustrated the Spanish forwards and midfield. Switzerland scored on a counter-attack that took advantage of a weak defense from Spain. I believe that Spain will defeat Honduras which was clearly dominated in all offensive categories by Chile. Group H, which contains Spain, Switzerland, Chile, and Honduras, could be decided only in the the final games of group play. South Africa suffered a painful 3-0 loss. This loss has effectively eliminated the host country from the knockout stage, breaking a record. To make matters worse they have lost several of their starters due to yellow card accumulation and the goalkeeper, Khune, getting a red card. The quality of the South African squad is okay, but the non-starters are much weaker than the starters. I just don't see the South Africans beating France and pulling off a miracle to qualify for the knockout stage. Uruguay is a solid squad and could be very dangerous as a first round knockout stage opponent.
Tomorrow's games include South Korea-Argentina which will decide the winner of group B. Nigeria and Greece is effectively an elimination game with the victor still having an outside shot at making the elimination portion of the tournament. In the case of a tie, qualification will be only held a thin strand of hope. The last game of the day is the marque match up between Mexico and France. This match will decide whether South Africa has even a chance to qualify. A tie will be in the best interest of the Bafana Bafana. I feel that France showed it's offense was potent enough to beat a very unconvincing Mexican side. My prediction is France winning that match probably 1-0.
