Spain vs. Switzerland ? Easy Opener for Spain in South Africa
by Al Dannity/SIA on June 14, 2010 in Soccer, Sports, World Cup
The last of the big guns gets a chance to unload on a minnow on Wednesday as Spain takes on Switzerland. Al Dannity thinks this could get ugly quite fast.
No lack of motivation
The Netherlands looked sluggish beating Denmark, England stumbled against the USA but Germany were magnificent dismantling Australia. That last result will be enough of a wake up call to make sure Spain uses heavy artillery against Switzerland. Spain learnt in the 2008 European Championships that its important to make a good impression early and to keep on making one as the tournament progresses. Spain opened that competition with a 4-1 stomping of a good Russian team. Seeing as such an approach ended up in Spain winning the European title it?s time for Swiss fans to become very afraid. Spain will want to demonstrate that they are the team to beat, both to their European rivals and to the whole world.
Get ready for goals
Spains final warm-up game against Poland told us everything we needed to know about this team. The dominant 6-0 was highlighted by this moment of magic from David Silva.

There?s more to a goal like this than the beauty of the link up play between Spain?s All-Star line-up. This is a team which has been on the same page for four years now and they will want to crank it up another notch in this World Cup. When looking for value in this game it?s worth looking at what else has happened in this tournament. Germany beat Australia 4-0 and I like Sports Interaction offer of +1000 on the same score in this game. Spain has the offensive firepower to make Swiss Cheese of the opposing defense on Wednesday night.
Nothing to fear from Switzerland
Like Germany, Spain face a team which made the knockout stages of the 2006 World Cup which is a shadow of its former self. Switzerland was hardly a global power four years ago but its rapid decline, including an awful performance when it hosted the last European Championships, can?t be ignored. Having qualified out of a soft group in Europe, this Swiss team lacks the talent or technique to match Spain?s superstars. While some un-fancied teams can fight doggedly and hold out against more favored opponents, there is nothing about this Switzerland team which makes me think they can put up any kind of resistance. This won?t be any kind of test for Spain.
