Well, that was a shock. Spain lose to Switzerland and Iker Casillas is beaten twice - only the post saving Spain from losing 2-0. You would think they will still qualify, but will they?
I'm not as convinced as I was - in fact I'd say that even if they did qualify, if they found today hard the last 16 and quarter finals are going to be like climbing Mount Everest in comparison.
It will be made even harder if the way Iniesta was limping when he was substituted turns out to be serious and we suspect it might be, as he does appear to have been rushed back - when it really wasn't necessary. But no doubt we will get more news on that very soon.
But for now, congratulations Switzerland - you actually do deserve it. No go forth and pick up four more points and you will qualified.
You'll see the table for Group H below - but Spain have nothing. That was not what what we predicted and we also got the full house prediction wrong. We are not having a good day.
Spain
Casillas (c), Pique, Puyol, Capdevila, Sergio Ramos, Iniesta (Pedrito, 77), Xavi, Alonso, Busquets (Torres, 61), Silva (G Jesus Navas, 61), Villa
Switzerland
Benaglio, Lichtsteiner, Senderos (Von Bergen, 35), Grichting, Ziegler, Huggel, Barnetta (Eggiman, 90+2), Inler (c), Fernandes, Nkufo, Derdiyok (Yakin, 79)
