Spain, still reeling from the breathtaking crush by Switzerland, expects to get the show rolling with a vigorous performance against a Honduran side which was given the runaround by Chile.
David Villa has an amazing scoring record for Spain, having netted in his last internationals, but it will be down to Wigan’s left back Maynor Figueroa, who’s working as a robust central defender for his country.
Del Bosque is fairly unflustered and will not be disproportionately fazed by the criticism aimed his way since the Switzerland crush while Honduras’s Colombian boss Reinaldo Rueda, now the time who is very popular that he has been granted Honduran citizenship, would be homing in on adoration if he could organize the toppling of the team which has looked the world’s best this past couple of years
They said
Del Bosque: “Losing to Switzerland wasn’t a good sign to send to our rivals, but in football you can always lose but I believe that we will avenge this crush."
Rueda: "Chile may have been our strongest opponents and we know we can furnish more still. We have the strength to resist Spain and won’t rush to believe that we are out yet”
