Spain finally get their chance to enter the tournament when they take on Switzerland in group H, the Spanish are one of the strong fancies to go close in the World Cup and they are looking for their first win in the tournament. The Spanish are of course the winners of Euro 2008 when they played some brilliant football, if they repeat that form then they will go very close in South Africa. They have class throughout the team and a strong squad which is sure to have the Swiss worried when they meet at the Moses Mabhida Stadium. Spain cruised through qualification which was no surprise and at this stage certainly look the strongest team from Europe to head to South Africa with every chance of going all the way.

The Swiss are an improving side under former Bayern Munich Manager Ottmar Hitzfeld and they also qualified well, they will be difficult to beat and will be no pushovers despite being the clear underdogs.
