Hands up who had Switzerland to win?

...that's right, none of you!
Here are the 113 Footcall results for Spain v Switzerland...
0,0,0,0... and 109 more 0s :-)
This possibly is, correction, definitely is, the lowest scoring day in Footcall history. Not even our competing Swiss resident, Alan Church, had Switzerland to win. I'm tempted to look through the list and award a half point to anyone who predicted a draw!
Earlier in the day we had the game of the tournament, Honduras v Chile. An exciting game full of entertainment which saw Chile take the 3 points. Now this result did wonders for our league with 3 pointers galore strewn up and down the table. These include Louis Turney, Ian Pope, Leanne Rennie and Stephen Hills. Sam Ford, Keith Firmston and James Vallender also collected a rare 3 to boost their positions. But we have a band of merry men (and women) all to lose their 3 point cherry and they include Ric Robinson (great team name Ric), Jill Fuller (Hoorah!), Sean & Adam (lunchtime legends), Tim Jennings (B&H Superking), Clare Hawkins (about time too), Sean Broad (A sign that things are looking up) and Peter Short (Colin is in his sights), well done everyone who knows where this will take you.
Finally South Africa took on Uruguay in the second game of Group A. It was vuvuzela madness at kick off and the support for Bafana Bafana was a real sight to see. Unfortunately for SA it was the two time World Cup winners that ran the show headed by former Premiership player, Diego Forlan, scored 2 of their 3 goals. Surely Alex Ferguson will be putting in a bid to bring him back to Old Trafford? Surely Uruguay must be a dark horse tip to upset a few results in later matches. And so to the Footcall table, a whole bunch of ones as lots of people had Uruguay to win but prediction of the tournament so far must go to Clive Catterall (KC's Claret & Blue Army) who nailed it spot on 3-0. Clive is blistering up the charts into 66th position!
South Korea back on the stage later today against Argentina. I really can't make my mind up whether to support South Korea or North Korea; so I suppose I should go and talk to my Koreas adviser!
Come on... stop you're groaning, you know you'll be using that one later!
