Chile Show Class, Spain Stunned in One of Football's Greatest Upsets, and Uruguay Too Strong For Hosts

Game 15: Honduras 0-1 Chile

Expected the South Americans to outclass the Hondurans and they truly delivered. I thought Chile were the best attacking team in the tournament so far apart from Germany and Argentina. Could have scored a few more goals had they not been so wasteful in front of goal. Honduras, meanwhile, just looked out of place throughout the match. Defended well at times but that's about all they can be pleased about. Chile would find it much tougher to play their fluent attacking style against Switzerland while Honduras look like they are going to be run over by Spain (especially after what happened to Spain). Man of the Match: Alexis Sanchez (excellent throughout, his runs and dribbling caused trouble to the Honduras defence and was part of Chile's best moves more often than not)

Game 16: Spain 0-1 Switzerland

Unbelievable! That's the biggest shock of the tournament for sure. Unless of course the Swiss go on to win it. Spain weren't at their best. No penetrative killer passes that split defences. Nowhere near the style they displayed during Euro 2008. My top pick has disappointed me. Switzerland were absolutely solid but I hated the way they play. Sorry for being biased but I can't take teams that defend for 89 minutes and taking that 1 minute to go forward and score a goal. Spain would need to attack like mad in their next game against Honduras and score a few goals as well. Switzerland would do well to hold Chile scoreless next up. By the way, the Swiss have now gone 5 games without conceding a goal at the World Cup. Man of the Match: Stephan Lichtsteiner (absolutely rock solid in defence and kept winning important headers whenever the Swiss were bombarded with crosses)

Game 17: South Africa 0-3 Uruguay

Finally another team won by more than a 1 goal margin. Uruguay played brilliantly in my opinion. They exposed South Africa's weaknesses at the back and defended solidly, letting their opponents to shoot only from long range. Diego Forlan was once again excellent, this time playing just behind the striker. South Africa, meanwhile, just couldn't find any flow to their attacks and at times were shaky at the back as they were against Mexico 5 days ago. A draw against Mexico will almost certainly put Uruguay through to the Second Round and with this performance, I think it's very possible for them to progress. Bafana Bafana would have to dig deep and conjure up some magic to win their last game against France if they are to progress. Man of the Match: Diego Forlan (orchestrated his team's attacks most of the time, scored 2 goals and was involved in the other - a brilliant performance)
