15. Chile vs. Honduras- 1-0 Chile
It has been a long time coming for Chile who wont their first World Cup game in 48 years. Chile brought its attack first side into this World Cup and it resulted in the win, but they should have had a few more goals to show for it. Playing Honduras who is now ranked last in my new rankings, should have been a bigger win for Chile. But as many have seen this World Cup seems to be tighter and lower scoring benefiting more of the defensive sides. This could spell trouble for the attacking teams, mostly Chile, and we will see how they respond next match.
16. Switzerland vs. Spain- 1-0 Switzerland
Well, what can I say other than I am kinda upset this was the first matched I haven't been able to watch due to a doctor's appointment. But I will tell you what I think and this was a big upset no matter how you put it. Since I didn't see it I won't talk about what happened too much, but I will say I moved Switzerland up so far in the rankings because as I see it results matter, my brother says Spain looked better but as my girlfriend says "but they beat them" and I agree so up they move. Spain should rebound and win, but they may not win the group now and could be facing Brazil in the first round of the knockout stage, all I can say is I'm glad I didn't pick them to win.
17. South Africa vs Uruguay- 3-0 Uruguay
This game will help clear up the tight group A with Uruguay earning 3 points they will have a very good chance making it out of the group now. Depending on the results of tomorrow's France and Mexico game. As for the game it was not too exciting Forlán hit a shot that deflected off a defender and dropped right into the goal not too bad, and after the goalie took down Suárez and got a red card. Forlán again took his chance and slotted home the penalty and Uruguay added another late goal, the last goal could prove to be good for the if it comes down to goal difference. As for South Africa it doesn't look good for them and they will probably be the first host team to not make it out of their group, a shame I guess.
