Spain was one of the teams favored to win the World Cup. However, a funny on the way to being crowned champ Spain lost to Switzerland 1-0.

Gelson Fernandez ripped the winner in the 52^nd minute.

Spain keeper Iker Casillas was forced to leave his line. He blocked the initial shot but the ball squirted free. Then a scramble ball ensued. Gelson Fernandez knocked home the gimmie ball.

This was all she wrote baby.

A real good win for the Swiss.

A little side note, no team that has lost its opening World Cup match has won the World Cup title.

We will see.

Spain was missing Fernando Torres and Cesc Fabregas.

This was a real kick in the nuts.

I still think Spain will make it out of the group stage and challenge for the title.

Chile shut out Honduras 1-0.

Jean Beausejour scored on a nifty goal in the 34^th minute.

His mate Sanchez threaded the needle with a perfect pass that spilt the seam in the defense.

Uruguay blasted the home side South Africa 3-0.

The Africans had their lunch handle to them.

In plain and simple English South Africa stunk the joint out.

Diego Forlan hit for the daily double. He struck for pay dirt in the 24^th and 80^th minutes.

Alvaro ripped the twines in the 90^th minute for Uruguay’s other tally.

What a day full of surprises.

Let’s what tomorrow holds.
