Udonis Haslem Jersey GROUP HSpainSwitzerlandChileHondurasAs with several of these World Cup groups, there is one team who are head and shoulders above the rest leaving three teams to battle for 2nd place. The Swi s will be hoping to oust Chile and Honduras for the precious qualification spot most likely behind Spain. Switzerland qualified from a relatively weak group to make it to South Africa 2010.

Ottmar Hitzfeld is a Shaquille O'Neal Jersey talented manager and may be the secret ingrediant needed to get through to the knock out stages.
