Match Preview:
The pressure is all on Spain as the favorite to win this year’s World Cup. They take on Switzerland in an opening round match on Wednesday. The game will begin at 14:00 GMT.Spain did break though to win Euro 2008, its first major international title since 1964. Fernando Torres and David Villa form arguably the most potent scoring duo in the tournament, although Torres has been dealing with a knee injury.This is a team that’s great when it’s ahead, but isn’t as patient as others when they fall behind.
On the other hand Switzerland is making rare back-to-back World Cup appearances. They made it to the second round in 2006 without allowing a goal. They were then eliminated in penalty kicks to the Ukraine after a 0-0 tie. This is certainly a tough opening match for the Swiss
