This is another one of those matches that we were not really looking forward to when the fixtures came out - but we are quite looking forward to now.

You see, we are going to be surprised soon. If we had lost all of our fingers and only the thumb remained on our left hand, we could count the games on one hand in this World Cup that were really very good, but we know more are coming. We hope they are today.

We should see goals today too. We have Spain playing Switzerland later and I mean no disrespect to Honduras, but Chile should beat them this afternoon in the first game of the day.

Also, this is day six and today, the second round of matches start. South Africa v Uruguay is at 8.30pm - we will have our little preview up later.

Prediction

We think this could be a draw but we did have a little bet this morning and we put it on Chile. Actually we are that confident we had a double - we put it on Chile and Spain to both win - Spain is the banker bet of the day.

Honduras striker, David Suazo
I think there are circumstances and we are working to improve them. The goals will come when they come. The important thing is the hard work of the group, which is being consolidated. People should be calm and realize that things are improving.

Chile coach, Marcelo Bielsa
We respect [Spain], but without fear. Just the same as we respect Honduras and Switzerland, as both these teams count on excellent players. Honduras for example have David Suazo, an outstanding player who shines in Europe. They also have players playing in England and other European countries.

End Notes

They are playing this game early, hoping people will not fall asleep in the middle of it. I think it will be a good game - but I'm just hoping more than anything. I think it fair to say also that it wont be a full house but that we will get the sound of the vuvuzela - no need to worry about that.
