upsets in world cup history? world cup saved its best to last but we didn t know it was switzerland. now spain is, what? the third they were the favorite. they were the favorites and i think the mental pressure got to them. just a little bit of background. pain won euro in 2008 and people said they finally broke the jinx. like the english, they are head cases. is it true or not? it is true approximate the pressure of that team being favorites is a little too much. the bull, they couldn t play that free flowing game. switzerland didn t have the same problem because they barely touched the ball. south africa host country yesterday got pounded. we hope the trumpets go away. the love affair is gone. the thrill is gone, baby. they are the first host probably not to qualify which will take the pressure off the united states if they get the world cup here in years to come.
