As Euro 08 winners, Spain are on the radar of fans all over the world, and they are also favourites to win the tournament.

Germany and the Netherlands both won big in the first round, but can Spain also win big in the first round?

Group H was first played by Chile and Honduras, and at half past one in the afternoon of the 16th, the two teams competed at the Mbobella Stadium in Split.

The last time Honduras played in the World Cup was in 1982, when the North and Central American teams drew with Belarus and Azerbaijan and lost to Venezuela and Romania respectively.

Chile, who are playing in their eighth World Cup, have been on a strong run since Argentine coach Jacos Bielsa took over, losing only to Mexico in the warm-up matches, while the others have won Trinidad and Tobago, Zambia, Northern Ireland and Israel.

After the start of the game, the Chilean team took the lead, and in the second minute, Chile got a direct free kick in front, which was only 25 meters away from the goal, which was an excellent opportunity to score!

Matthias Fernandez's free-kick goes around the wall and towards the top right corner of the goal!

The football flew over Honduran goalkeeper Villadares and off the crossbar!

This goal made Honduras break out in a cold sweat!

The two teams then fell into a stalemate in the midfield battle, and neither team had a good chance to score.

As time went on, the Chilean team slowly gained the upper hand in the stalemate, and in the 21st minute, Valdivia's powerful shot in front of the penalty area, the football was blocked by Honduran defender Guevara!

Vidal takes a corner kick and Sanchez shoots a long shot from in front of the penalty area, and the ball goes over the crossbar!

In the 25th minute, Matthias Fernandez took a corner kick and Vidal headed it eight meters from goal!

A surprise in the eyes of Chilean fans!

However, the football went wide of the goal!

Under the continuous high blows of the Chilean team, Honduras' defense has problems.

In the 34th minute of the first half, Matthias Fernandez made a direct pass, Isla crossed from the right side of the penalty area, and Mendoza tackled the ball and hit Bosehauer!

Soccer magical bounce goal!

The ball is in!

1 to 0!

Chile breaks the deadlock!

No one expected that this goal would be the only goal of the game, and in the end, Chile beat Honduras by a small goal and got off to a good start.

Thanks to a goal from left winger Bosehauer, Chile beat Honduras 1-0.

The Chileans have been waiting for this day for forty-eight years, and they have finally won again!

On June 16, 1962, Chile defeated Yugoslavia 1-0 in the World Cup third-place match, but the Chileans did not expect that the next time they would win the World Cup would be on June 16, 2010.

After beating the United States 5-2 in the group stage of the 1950 World Cup, this was the first time in 60 years that Chile won the World Cup outside of its borders.

Fans around the world are turning their attention to Durban as tournament favourites Spain take to the debut against Switzerland.

European champions Spain are unbeaten in 15 wins and three draws in 18 meetings between the two sides, and after winning all 10 matches in qualifying to qualify for the finals, Spain have beaten France, Saudi Arabia, South Korea and Poland in their warm-up matches.

Switzerland played in their ninth World Cup and kept a clean sheet for 394 minutes in the 2006 World Cup, only to be eliminated on penalties against Ukraine. However, they have not won one of the last six warm-up games.

At 4 p.m. on the 16th, the game officially started at the Durban Stadium.

Due to Barcelona's success in recent years, veteran coach Bosque transplanted Barcelona's style of play to Spain and achieved success - they won the European Championship two years ago!

Once the game started, Spain began to control the tempo of the game.

As the creator of the chain defense, Switzerland used dense defense to deal with Spain's passing, and it was not until the seventeenth minute of the first half that Spain got the first shot of the game, which shows how successful the Swiss team's defense is!

In the 24th minute of the first half, the Spanish bell almost broke the goal, Iniesta passed through, Pique shook Grichting and fired a low shot from 12 meters from the goal!

However, the football was magically blocked by Benario's legs!

The two sides drew 0-0 in the first half, and after a fifteen-minute half-time break, the two sides changed sides and fought again.

Spain accelerated the pace of attack, so there was a one-sided situation on the field - Spain was the main attacker, and Switzerland was struggling to support!

In the seventh minute of the second half, Switzerland launched a quick counter-attack after defending Spain's attack.

Del Diyok burst into the box with the ball and went down while dodging Casillas, but the referee didn't blow the whistle.

Fernandez who followed up with a push!

Pique stretched out his right leg to keep out Fernandes' close-range shot!

Fernandez flew forward and fired a follow-up shot, and the ball flew into the empty goal!

The ball is in!

The passive Swiss team has a one-goal lead!

This made the Swiss fans in the stands overjoyed, and they wanted their team to continue to work hard and explode the biggest people of this World Cup!

After the resumption of the game, Spain launched a tidal wave of attacks to equalise.

In the thirteenth minute of the second half, Iniesta passed the ball and shot in front of the Villa penalty area, but the ball was too small and was easily confiscated by Swiss goalkeeper Benario.

In the fifteenth minute of the second half, Xavi took a corner kick, and Ramos rose from the ground and pressed the opposing defender with a ferocious header!

Soccer ball misses the goal!

A minute later, Xavi crossed to Villa, but Benario scavenged to save first.

In the eighteenth minute of the second half, the breakthrough in the arc of the Villa penalty area was blocked, and Iniesta shot a beautiful arc from outside the penalty area, and the football flew towards the right side of the goal!

The air in the stadium is getting tense!

Football flies past Benario's fingertips!

Then flew towards the post and Spain missed the best chance to equalize!

The Swiss team rallied and held the one-goal lead until the end of the game!

Switzerland narrowly defeated Spain by one goal and broke out the first upset of this World Cup!

The world is in an uproar!

Marca commented: The invincible battleship of the Spanish team finally capsized off the coast of Africa.

The Swiss pulled Spain off the clouds and took advantage of mistakes from their goalkeepers and defenders to score, while the European champions were restless after conceding the goal, unable to find their way to the goal and ultimately lost the game.

In the first round of the World Cup group, the Spanish team was taught a lesson in modesty.

Unable to attack for a long time, and being fatally hit by the opponent, the Spanish national team transplanted Barcelona's tactics and Barcelona's weaknesses.

Whether it is Barcelona or the Spanish national team, the tactics are being thoroughly studied by more and more teams, and the opponents are no longer afraid to let them control the ball, and they have used efficient attacks or sharp counter-attacks against them, from Espanyol to Arsenal and now Switzerland, all of them.

Attackingly, the Spaniards got carried away and confidently believed that with a world-class striker like Villa and a good passer like Xavi, it was only a matter of time before Spain scored.

However, it was Spain who conceded first, and after conceding the goal, the Spanish team looked flustered, and as a result, the Spanish players were sloppy on the pitch and lost the accuracy of their passes.

Defensively, Bosque transplanted Barcelona's Puyol and Pique's combination, but the combination was mediocre in this game, with Switzerland's goal linked to the Spanish centre-back's poor defence, and Casillas' attack was also responsible for the goal conceded.

After conceding the goal, Spain was in chaos in front of goal, allowing the opposing players to play in the penalty area, and if it wasn't for their luck, Spain would have conceded another goal.

Besieging the opponent, shooting more than 20 times but unable to score, and if you are not careful, your team will lose the goal, which has a great impact on the psychology of your team.

The most typical defeat of Barcelona is this kind of defeat.

In this game, the Spanish team passed too fast after conceding the goal, which was very bad, and the passing and shooting were not accurate.

The backline was messy, Puyol and Pique were experiencing nightmares, and Ramos and Capdevilla were unable to help the team.

Switzerland's goal was the best illustration of a bad day for Spain.

Whether it is Barcelona or the Spanish team that transplants Barcelona's tactics, the physical fitness and concentration of the players are very demanding, and once there is a problem in a certain link, the team's attack will have a big problem.

Moreover, the attacking tactics of Barcelona and Spain have always been risky, and as long as there is negligence, a counterattack by the opponent is enough to kill.

The most typical way of death for Barcelona is that the front court can't attack for a long time, and it can't break the opponent's goal no matter what, but the opponent's goal is broken by the opponent's few opportunities.

With Chelsea, Liverpool, Atletico Madrid, Kazan Ruby and the most recent season being beaten by Arsenal, it is clear that Switzerland are following the same path.

Poor performance, coupled with underestimation of opponents, Spain's defeat was not unfounded, with not fluent passing, not threatening shots, and a few fatal mistakes in the midfield defence.

Spain copied Barcelona's fast pass and quick down tactics, but at the same time, it also transplanted Barcelona's goal, and it can only be said that the loss to Switzerland was not an accident.

The French team newspaper commented: Although the Spanish team ranks seventh in the overall results of the World Cup, I believe that fans always have a feeling of fear when they see Spain showing their faces in the World Cup.

No matter how well the team warmed up before the game, how united and harmonious the atmosphere inside and outside the team was, when it came to the World Cup, I always didn't know when the chain suddenly fell off without warning.

The most painful of these was the defeat in the first game, which was already the sixth time in the history of the World Cup that the seemingly powerful Spanish team had lost in the first game.

Of course, there are still many curses about the Spanish team, and the European champions will inevitably not win the World Cup, and it looks like it will be fulfilled in 90 minutes.

Despite being a world powerhouse for a long time, Spain are also notoriously unreliable international powerhouses in their first match.

With the exception of Argentina and Switzerland today, the defeat to Czechoslovakia in '62, Austria in '78 and Brazil in '86 is a game that many fans will remember if these defeats are too far away, the 2-3 defeat to Nigeria in '98 should be a game that many fans will remember vividly.

In the game when he was the host in 82, he barely drew with Honduras with a controversial penalty, Uruguay in 90, and South Korea in 94.

Spain have played in a total of 13 tournaments and won only four of their first matches, and it seems that no matter where the Spanish national team is in history, the first World Cup game seems like a nightmare for them.

More detailed data shows that the European champions did not play well in the World Cup.

It is very rare to be able to play the first game of the World Cup, and the last eight European champions so far have only won the first game twice in the World Cup two years later, namely France beat Canada 1-0 in '86 and Germany beat the United States 2-0 in '98. Nowadays, it seems that Spain is not exempt from vulgarity.
