Honduras - Chile - Spain - Switzerland
What a group! Latino passion a-plenty! Imagine the gesticulations. More hand-waving than an Italian traffic-cop convention. All FIFA need to do is throw a Mexican ref into the mix and watch as the fireworks begin. I've scoured all the betting sites to see if I can bet on the group which will produce the most cards, sending-offs or penalties, but to no avail. I guess they closed the books on that as soon as they saw this group drawn from the pots last December.
But really, it does promise some fantastic games. I saw Honduras play some games in the 2000 Olympics, and presumably some of the youngsters on display then have made their way into the 2010 WC squad. They go alright - don't underestimate them.
Chile don't have a Cabanas or Zamorano but should still provide some flair, and of course Spain with their stellar outfit should produce some magical football.
As for the Swiss, I have no idea. I lost interest when Chapuisat retired. I'm not even sure if Hans is a Swiss name, but it served a purpose for the title of this post. They bored me in the World Cups of 1994 and 2006, and the Euros of '96, '04 and '08. Prove me wrong cheese-makers!
