Silver Level
On the back of a 100 per cent start here at the 2010 FIFA World Cup™, chile will be confident of securing a Round of 16 berth. Standing in their way, however, are Group H rivals Spain, who bounced back from their opening reverse against switzerland and will likely need all three points against the Chileans to reach the next phase. The Swiss, sunk 1-0 by Chile on 22 June, need to beat bottom-placed Honduras and await the result of Chile-Spain to learn their fate.
As it stands
Chile, 6 points (+2; 2 goals scored)
Spain, 3 points (+1; 2 goals scored)
Switzerland, 3 points (0; 1 goal scored)
Honduras, 0 points (-3; 0 goals scored)
Next up
Chile-Spain, 25 June, Tshwane/Pretoria, 20.30 (local time)
Switzerland-Honduras, 25 June, Mangaung/Bloemfontein, 20.30 (local time)

a) greatest number of points obtained in all group matches;
b) goal difference in all group matches;

e) goal difference resulting from the group matches between the teams concerned;
f) greater number of goals scored in all group matches between the teams concerned;
