Spain: Many peoples tip to go all the way this go around. However every World Cup and Euro Championships Spain are up there with the favorites to win the whole thing and yet tournament after tournament they consistently under perform, that is except for Euro 2008. In that tournament they won the whole thing so will be coming into this competition on a high. They certainly will get out of the group this go around and probably in the first position. Unfortunately though, despite the high of two years ago I do not think they will go any further than the second round.
Switzerland: Second place at least should be a certainty. After the opening game against Spain they play Chile and then Honduras, both should be 3 points for the Swiss and the two European teams will progress.
Chile: The opening game for both these and Honduras will be vital. Just as Spain and the Swiss will battle it out for the top two places so the Hondurans and Chileans will fight it out NOT to finish bottom.
Honduras: Probably have, on paper at least, the better quality players of the two (Chile). EPL's Palacios of Tottenham, Figueroa (Wigan) combined with Serie A's De Leon, Alvarez and Suazo will make their last game (against Switzerland) interesting, especially if they are with in touching distance of the Swiss. Honduras could potentially be the surprise package of this group.....but I doubt it.
My Predictions
1) Spain
2) Switzerland
3) Chile
4) Honduras
