World Cup 2010 – Week 1
It’s hard to believe, but we are already a week into the 2010 World Cup, but it’s a week a lot of teams will never forget.
Up until the beginning of the tournament, everyone was walking around saying Spain had this cup in the bag. Apparently Switzerland had very different ideas about this and beat the favorites 1 to 0 on the 16th. They are next up against Honduras, which they will more than likely defeat, but boy that Switzerland loss had to sting.
As we progress into the second set of round 1 games, and the second week of the tournament, so far it looks like we’ve learned that you just can’t predict how this game will go. Did anyone expect Mexico to defeat France, a country that went to the final two in 2006, today? No, not really. Not only did they beat them, but it was 2 to 0, and France looked completely lost. At this point it isn’t a given France will get into the round of 16.
No one can predict how the World Cup will go, and this year is teaching that lesson in a big way.
