Spain is upset by Switzerland in the 1st game of the Group stages...do I really need to introduce this podcast anymore than that!?  Yes, I still cover the victories by Chile * Uruguay, but everyone's favorite coming into the tournament gets beat.  What does this mean?

A couple things. 

1.  No team has EVER won the World Cup that lost its first game.  Italy did get to the World Cup Final in 1994 after losing to Ireland in their 1st group stage game, but Roberto Baggio missed his PK and the Brazilians lifted the trophy.  Buh Bye Spain!!

2.  No team has won the World Cup since 1978, Argentina, losing any games.  So the trend is - you lose, no trophy!! Buh Bye Spain x 2!!

3.  Could this mean an "early" World Cup Final?  We all anticipated Brazil vs. Spain in the Finals...now we may get it in the 1st round of the knockout stage...Buh Bye Spain!!

OH BUT THAT IS WHY THEY PLAY THE GAMES MY FRIENDS!!!

I will still take Spain to win it all, even having to go the tough way.  So they finish in 2nd of Group H - they will play Brazil, the Netherlands, England and Argentina in the Final...it can fall that way.  What do you all think??  Let us know your thoughts in the comment section below.
