Let's see what Switzerland and Italy will end up with...
and after a few heartwrecking minutes in the end, as it looked like Switzerland and Italy might end up in the same group or that Switzerland would get the "pool of death" with Brazil and Cote d'Ivoire... In the end it all ended perfectly well with this result:
F
Italy
Paraguay
New Zealand
Slovakia
H
Spain
Switzerland
Honduras
Chile
Italy has by far the easiest group (for once) which should net them 1st place and help avoiding a supertough 1/8-finals against The Netherlands!! And as the Azurri usually get better the longer the tournament goes they seem to be in good shape for a repeat!
Switzerland definitely has the 2nd place up for grabs as Spain should cruise for 1st in that group, but Honduras and Chile are both beatable and with nothing to lose in the first match against Spain the Swiss should be ready to go and exploit whatever weaknesses they will see in the match between the other two teams!! if they can pull it of, a killer 1/8-final against Brazil is looming (or whoever end up winning the "pool of death")
Alright, 6 months left and a lot to look forward too... can't wait!
