SPAIN 2-0 HONDURAS

We are now exactly halfway through the 2010 World Cup.

32 games played - 32 games still to play.

We're also at the end of the 2nd round of group games and only TWO teams have guaranteed qualification (Holland & Brazil) and only TWO teams are out (Cameroon & North Korea). It feels like there's been less riding on the final round of group games in previous tournaments. Are the weaker nations getting better? Or are the old guard just not playing very well?

Spain are certainly starting to play better - although Nando could do with a goal.

Villa's first goal here is a contender for goal of the tournament. But, you know me: I don't like change.

Speaking of Villa goals:
