Chris Jones: We'll see you again... Day after tomorrow. US-Algeria!

Leander Schaerlaeckens: Good night from Johannesburg. Back tomorrow with more of the same. Soccer that is, hopefully not a lack of decent seats.

ESPN Stats and Info: Honduras are not eliminated. I promise, Bill.

Chris Jones: America's GDP will rise in about two minutes...

Chris Jones: Thanks guys again for tuning in.

Leander Schaerlaeckens: Game, set and seat!

Chris Jones: I saw three minutes of it between reading about 5,000 comments.

Leander Schaerlaeckens: A Spanish ball trickles agonizingly through the Honduran box before the ref blows the final whistle.

Chris Jones: That's the game.

ESPN Stats and Info: David Villa tonight is the 12th time a Spanish player has scored a brace in a World Cup match...with my luck, he'll get the hat trick at the death.

Chris Jones: A job designing chain mail?

Leander Schaerlaeckens: How dare you besmirch his honor!

Leander Schaerlaeckens: Chris is lovely!

Leander Schaerlaeckens: I have one in economics and journalism, and another in journalism and public affairs. A little closer, in other words.

Leander Schaerlaeckens: It's been plugged in this half. Hence the lack of my whining.

Chris Jones: Mine's in urban design. Not joking.

Leander Schaerlaeckens: Three minutes of extra time until this game is over and I've officially beat out the seat people.

ESPN Stats and Info: Speaking of late: Spain have scored 3 goals 90 minutes or later at the World Cup.

Leander Schaerlaeckens: Spain with some beautiful touches to get Mata one-on-one with the goalie, were it not for the final ball being a little out of his reach.

Chris Jones: This is about the literal least they could have done.

Leander Schaerlaeckens: He wasn't actually fat, but sure, thanks, Michael.

Chris Jones: Spain really should have done more here... And I'm really disappointed at how flat they've been the last 20 minutes or so.

Leander Schaerlaeckens: That would be a seriously late arrival.

Leander Schaerlaeckens: I'm not ready to celebrate, but surely nobody will come to take it off me now?

Leander Schaerlaeckens: Meanwhile, it is the 89th minute and I am still in my desk seat!!

Leander Schaerlaeckens: Spain should have driven the score to much higher altitudes here. Really, a 2-0 outcome is all out of whack with their dominance today.

Chris Jones: Define "pay." If you mean "they allow me to live," then yes.

Leander Schaerlaeckens: Navas had broken out on the right and fed Villa well, but he bungled the finish.

Leander Schaerlaeckens: Spain us riding this game out, which seems imprudent.

Chris Jones: Dramatic slide by Honduran defender there...

Leander Schaerlaeckens: Poor finish by Villa!

ESPN Stats and Info: As it stands, this would be the third-highest passing accuracy for a team in it's opponent's half at this World Cup. Spain were even better against Switzerland, but the best performance was by Brazil against North Korea. Shows the importance of finishing.

Chris Jones: Take the rest of the day off, Ben.

Leander Schaerlaeckens: Honduras committed a foul, robbing them of the meek chance.

Chris Jones: Third place in CONCACAF = Not world power. Canada qualified once.

Leander Schaerlaeckens: Suazo is off for Jerry Palacios.

Leander Schaerlaeckens: Corner to Honduras.

Leander Schaerlaeckens: The corner is headed away too.

Leander Schaerlaeckens: Figueroa does really well to head away a Mata cross that would surely have been nodded home by Villa.

Chris Jones: Negative. Spain would have 1 win and 1 tie. Swiss would have two wins.

ESPN Stats and Info: On cue- Fabregas has had an unsuccessful pass for the first time tonight.

Leander Schaerlaeckens: Long free kick for Honduras now. Welcome's header was nifty but went just wide.

Chris Jones: That's pretty amazing about Puyol. Holy moly.

Leander Schaerlaeckens: Villa gets a laser of a shot off from the top of the box but it's blocked by a man that's still not quite recovered.

Chris Jones: Spain really needs to pot a couple of late ones here. That PK is huge...

ESPN Stats and Info: Carlos Puyol has completed all of his 33 pass attempts successfully. Fabregas is the only other Spanish players are at 100% accuracy with 12 attempted.

Leander Schaerlaeckens: Corner to Spain. Puyol gets to it but his header is skied.

ESPN Stats and Info: Spain have been awarded 14 penalties since 1966, more than any other team.

Leander Schaerlaeckens: Speaking of which, here comes a free kick from him. Into the wall.

Chris Jones: If the Swiss lose to Honduras, then yes.

ESPN Stats and Info: Alvaro Arbeloa hoping not to befall the same issues that other Liverpool defenders have had in this World Cup (Daniel Agger for Denmark against the Netherlands, Martin Skyrtel for Slovakia against Paraguay).

Leander Schaerlaeckens: I've not seen much of Cesc here just yet, I must say.

Leander Schaerlaeckens: Attendance: 54,300 and change.

Leander Schaerlaeckens: Nunez gets a shot off but it goes high and wide.

Chris Jones: This is obviously a small footnote to this game, but Casillas has not looked very good to me these first two games. I have a funny feeling he's going to mess one up against Chile.

Leander Schaerlaeckens: Sergio Ramos is off for Alvaro Arbeloa.

ESPN Stats and Info: Touches in the box through the first 70 minutes: Spain 41. Honduras 1.

Leander Schaerlaeckens: Navas sends his cross to far ahead of his fellow attacker.

Chris Jones: I'm not falling for your reverse psychology, Dan... D'oh!

ESPN Stats and Info: To be fair, I only conceded two.

Leander Schaerlaeckens: You're right, Chris. This is game is dying out a little. I don't know why, Spain has brought on plenty of fresh blood, and sure could use the extra goals if things get tight in this group.

Chris Jones: (Just kidding Stats. Much love.)

Chris Jones: Bill just made Stats look like North Korea. All hail Bill!

ESPN Stats and Info: Bill is correct that they did not advance. To be fair, there were only 4 groups and only the first place teams advanced back then. Group 4 was just Uruguay and Bolivia. Uruguay's 8-0 victory was all they needed to advance. Well done to Bill, though. I hate breaking promises.

Leander Schaerlaeckens: A Navas cross sails high and over.

Chris Jones: Here's some avail for you, Lewis.

Leander Schaerlaeckens: A long shot by Mata flies over.

Chris Jones: Spain starting to get a little stumbly... Might be tiring.

Leander Schaerlaeckens: Ramos almost finishes with a wicked scissor kick an attack he himself had set up but doesn't quite get all of it.

Chris Jones: Stats, what say you to Bill?

Leander Schaerlaeckens: A striker for a striker.

ESPN Stats and Info: David Villa, incidentally, is now one of just seven players to take three or more penalties at the World Cup.

Leander Schaerlaeckens: That makes it a shot for Nunez and a shot for Suazo this half.

Leander Schaerlaeckens: Over.

ESPN Stats and Info: In 1982, Algeria won two matches and failed to get out of the Group Stage, but the wins sandwiched a 2-0 loss to Austria, who ended up advancing on the +2 goal differential that match provided.

Leander Schaerlaeckens: Long free kick for Honduras now. Nunez to take it.

Chris Jones: This should be 6-0. Portugal actually did win 7-0. Advantage: Portugal.

Leander Schaerlaeckens: On the next corner, Honduras is lucky not to concede too.

Leander Schaerlaeckens: An ensuing long shot from Ramos goes over via a Honduran shoulder.

Leander Schaerlaeckens: Villa again deep in the box tries to set up a teammate but wins only a corner.

ESPN Stats and Info: Ok, let's try again: no team have ever won their FIRST two Group Stage matches and failed to advance at the World Cup. Promise.

Chris Jones: Guy next to me: This should be 6-0. Can't disagree.

Chris Jones: Very nice play by Osman Chavez to knock the ball off the Honduran goal line.

Leander Schaerlaeckens: Villa got around everybody, including the keeper but saw his shot saved at the last gasp.

Leander Schaerlaeckens: Xavi is off for Cesc Fabregas.

Leander Schaerlaeckens: Spain worked it well into the box, slipping it back and forth numerous times before getting too clever and fancy and losing it.

Chris Jones: Hey, a shot for Honduras! Wide, but a shot nonetheless.

Chris Jones: Three times Torres has had his hands up begging for the ball and didn't get it.

Chris Jones: Something about a theater.

ESPN Stats and Info: To be fair, James, we had both notes ready.

Leander Schaerlaeckens: A midfielder on for a midfielder.

Leander Schaerlaeckens: Nunez on for Turcios.

ESPN Stats and Info: That is the first ever missed penalty by Spain at the World Cup. They had been 13-for-13. Unlucky number.

Chris Jones: Now if Spain fails to advance by a goal... Oh baby.

Leander Schaerlaeckens: Tried to fake out the goalie and slid it jut wide of the post.

Chris Jones: Wow. That's a gack.

Leander Schaerlaeckens: WIDE!!!!

Leander Schaerlaeckens: Villa behind it.

Leander Schaerlaeckens: Villa to take it, in search of his hat trick.

Chris Jones: Villa time.

Leander Schaerlaeckens: Fair enough. Izaguirre brought Navas down.

ESPN Stats and Info: Last Spain hat trick at WC was Michel vs South Korea in 1990 Group Stage...Villa time?

Chris Jones: Oops.

Leander Schaerlaeckens: Spain with the ball out on the right. Navas is brought down. Penalty!

Leander Schaerlaeckens: No kidding.

Chris Jones: I love the weird cameos on Cover It LIve. Dave Coulier... The only actor from Full House who appears in a song by Alanis Morisette.

Leander Schaerlaeckens: A nice feed from Capdevilla to Villa on the left, who got a cross off before the back line but wasn't able to send it anywhere other than Valladares's hands.

ESPN Stats and Info: Prior to 1998, they did not simply take the top 2 from each group. In 1994, for example, they took the 6 group winners, the 6 runners-up, and the 4 best third-place group teams.

Chris Jones: Hey-YO!

Chris Jones: Honduras could use one, too.

Leander Schaerlaeckens: Pique, ladies and gentlemen is playing with an enormous bandage on his mouth, which is keeping him from bleeding.

Chris Jones: No, but I am more handsome than Dave Coulier.

Chris Jones: Thanks Adrian. Seriously, my head is aching with all this.

ESPN Stats and Info: My apologies, Argentina DID in fact get out. Will investigate further.

Leander Schaerlaeckens: The corner was headed out. We're about to see a second one.

Chris Jones: So, here it is Stuck, a riddle... Chile has won 2. If Spain wins tonight and beats Chile next game, that's 2 for them. If the Swiss beat Honduras the next game, they'll have won 2... One of them ain't making it.

Leander Schaerlaeckens: Between Torres, Capdevilla and Villa, they hopped it back and fourth until a cross was ultimately headed out for a corner.

Leander Schaerlaeckens: Beautiful play from Spain!

ESPN Stats and Info: To answer the earlier question: the most recent team to win their first two matches and not make it out of the Group Stage was at USA 1994, Argentina won their first two matches against Greece (4-0) and Nigeria (2-1) but when out after losing their third match against Bulgaria (0-2).

Leander Schaerlaeckens: Pique is now down and bleeding from his mouth after a bypassing cleat caught him in the mouth.

Leander Schaerlaeckens: Navas was allowed to prace on and on into the Honduran box and finally settled on trying for a placed shot, which was easily saved.

ESPN Stats and Info: 14th time a Spanish player has scored AT LEAST 2 goals in a World Cup match and the 12th to hit exactly 2.

Leander Schaerlaeckens: Honduras on the ball now, but it's quickly discarded once more.

Leander Schaerlaeckens: Outstanding play from Spain here.

Leander Schaerlaeckens: He was allowed to run and run and run but his shot from the edge of the box was just inches wide.

Chris Jones: Obvious comment: Villa is having a great game.

Leander Schaerlaeckens: Ramos just wide!

Leander Schaerlaeckens: A second goal for Villa.

ESPN Stats and Info: Spain have never lost a World Cup match they led by 2 goals. They last conceded a draw when up 2 goals against South Korea in 1994. Now, back to the earlier search!

Leander Schaerlaeckens: The Spanish broke away after a high unsuccessful Honduras attack, Busquets found Villa at the edge of the box, his shot took a deflection and went over Valladares.

Leander Schaerlaeckens: SPAIN!

Leander Schaerlaeckens: GOAL!!!

Chris Jones: Here they come again...

Leander Schaerlaeckens: Xabi Alonso is distributing really well here, and Ramos is making his consistently dangerous runs up the right flank.

Chris Jones: If only Rooney had the same support...

Chris Jones: That's service.

ESPN Stats and Info: We will check for you.

Chris Jones: I don't know Stats. I'm hoping the real Stats is still tuned in. Stats?

The general rule of thumb is, you win two, you're in. But this WC has had some very strange results.

Leander Schaerlaeckens: Navas made it to the back line but couldn't keep it in.

Leander Schaerlaeckens: Eight shots and three on goal for Spain. One shot and none on goal for Honduras.

Leander Schaerlaeckens: Some stats:
Spain with 59 percent of possession.

Leander Schaerlaeckens: Ramos now on the right, feeds Navas, but they lose the ball.

Chris Jones: Spain on the march again.

Leander Schaerlaeckens: Nope, off he goes.

Leander Schaerlaeckens: There's a dude looking for a seat here. I'm getting worried.

Leander Schaerlaeckens: Honduras kicks off the second half with a massive shot at the Spanish goal, which sails over.

Chris Jones: Spain will really be pressing to pile up some goals here... This will be a very exciting finish, even if the game is out of hand.

Leander Schaerlaeckens: Haha. I'm not putting this one on my computer. This is all FIFA.

Leander Schaerlaeckens: Whew! A stadium volunteer came over, but not to kick me out but to offer me a bottle of water!

Chris Jones: It's goal difference, goals scored, head-to-head, and then a bunch of gibberish that hurts my head to think about.

Leander Schaerlaeckens: Seriously. Like I said, I've won back a seat at a table and am lapping up the electricity while I can. I'm just praying nobody shows up again. What a logistical nightmare this game has been.

Chris Jones: It has been, Craig, but has never been used. This is the closest World Cup in many moons.

Chris Jones: I feel bad, though, for the North Koreans going home. No joke, I think we'll see some defections in the coming days.

Chris Jones: Yeah, but you can't blame them Chris. Goals count big time for advancing.

Chris Jones: But you know, so was the Spain-Swiss game.

Leander Schaerlaeckens: Very lopsided for such a close game.

Chris Jones: I really can't. All Spain.

Leander Schaerlaeckens: This has been all Spain.

Leander Schaerlaeckens: Chris, can you think of anyone on Honduras that's really stood out to you?

Chris Jones: I know, Tony. But it would be amazing drama... Can you imagine the scene?

Leander Schaerlaeckens: The score should really be much more than 1-0 here.

ESPN Stats and Info: Touches in box: Spain 22, Honduras 1

Chris Jones: See how easy that was?

Chris Jones: Ivory Coast was all but eliminated by Portugal's massive win over NK today. As for Portugal beating Brazil... I have no idea. But I circled that game a long time ago. I have dibs.

Leander Schaerlaeckens: I'm in a different row. The great Ives Galarcep gave me the seat he had managed to scrounge. He had to go work on a story, so I got his seat.

Chris Jones: Not a joke, by the way, what I wrote.

Leander Schaerlaeckens: My wireless had been gone. I've since recovered a seat at a desk. I can at least charged. Let's see how long it'll be until I get kicked out.

Leander Schaerlaeckens: Ok. I'm back.

Chris Jones: Head-to-head comes into it. There are six tiebreakers. FIFA announced today that six of the groups are in such a mess that, for the first time, we may have a seventh tiebreaker: pulling a name out of a hat.

Chris Jones: Ask FIFA. It's goal difference.

Chris Jones: Honduras will not be mathematically out, by the way, but effectively.

Chris Jones: With their win earlier today, Chile has 6 points. Spain should win tonight, to tie Switzerland with 3 points. Honduras will be out.

Say Spain beats Chile and the Swiss beat Honduras, there will be three on top with 6 points each. It'll come down to goal difference first. I'm thinking Spain will score more goals tonight than the Swiss will.

All this math, of course, is making my head hurt.

ESPN Stats and Info: Spain are 12-1-3 when leading at the half in the World Cup.

Chris Jones: Ball was in the Spanish half for three seconds.

Chris Jones: Great steal by Xabi Alonso goes wanting.

Leander Schaerlaeckens: Wide free kick, 12 yards from the back line for Xavi now.

Chris Jones: Honduran down - getting a little scrappy now.

Leander Schaerlaeckens: Spain with good possession here, zipping it around like they're on the field alone, pass it into Villa, but he couldn't finish but did win a corner.

Chris Jones: Chile and Spain coming out of this group, it's looking like. Good for Chile especially.

Chris Jones: Not the best, Steak -- most exciting.

Leander Schaerlaeckens: Argentina - South Korea.

Chris Jones: I was at Italy-New Zealand last night, which was pretty terrific.

Chris Jones: You just made ours better, Dana. Thanks.

Leander Schaerlaeckens: Torres was one-on-one with the goalkeeper but failed to slip it by him. Poor finish.

Leander Schaerlaeckens: Might I add that the obnoxious German has no need for power or internet? He's just sitting there.

Chris Jones: Jeez. That's two gifts he's missed.

Leander Schaerlaeckens: Xavi was just played the ball with his back to the goal and almost threaded it to Torres.

Leander Schaerlaeckens: It seems but a matter of time before Spain sticks another one away and takes this game.

Leander Schaerlaeckens: A long Honduras ball skips over the back line, in spite of the best attempts by Suazo, I believe.

Chris Jones: Up to 100. It's pretty hard to keep up -- but I'm not whining, unlike some people.

Leander Schaerlaeckens: Torres now tore through the box, got past two man and had a pretty open goal but blasted it over.

Chris Jones: Torres really should have done better there. Wide open, poor header.

Leander Schaerlaeckens: Ramos sent an inch-perfect cross onto the head of Torres, who headed it too far down, making it bounce over.

Leander Schaerlaeckens: So close!

Leander Schaerlaeckens: I'm not whining at being here, I'm whining about the pathetic excuse for a press box FIFA has created, with nowhere near enough space.

Chris Jones: Still doesn't look 100 percent to me.

Leander Schaerlaeckens: Torres almost gets onto a long ball, but it's slightly too hard.

Leander Schaerlaeckens: German still whingeing about his plum seat.

Chris Jones: Josh has an excellent point, Leander.

Leander Schaerlaeckens: Turned the brightness down: 75%

Leander Schaerlaeckens: Torres spun onto a lovely ball but his touch betrayed him.

Chris Jones: Good hustle by Pique to try to save it, but that corner crossed the field.

Chris Jones: Corner to Spain.

Leander Schaerlaeckens: Navas on the right but his cross is blocked.

Chris Jones: Spain's passing has been really, really good.

Leander Schaerlaeckens: He moved to sit by his buddy.

ESPN Stats and Info: David Villa's 4th career World Cup goal puts him 1 back of the Spanish record, held by 5 players.

Leander Schaerlaeckens: Some German in front of me is making a fuss about having to go to another seat at a table. He doesn't know how lucky he is.

Chris Jones: Spain mounting another attack...

Leander Schaerlaeckens: All three were taken.

Leander Schaerlaeckens: Back to my old spot.

Leander Schaerlaeckens: And my seat is gone.

Leander Schaerlaeckens: If only he weren't so short.

Leander Schaerlaeckens: Navas with the ball in the box but his cross is just over Xavi's head, who was wide open.

Leander Schaerlaeckens: Puyol keeps a ball away from Suazo, who would have had a fat chance otherwise.

Chris Jones: Probably, but first I'll have my own short-lived, critically acclaimed but unpopular spinoff.

Leander Schaerlaeckens: I seem to have slipped through the cracks and am still here!

Leander Schaerlaeckens: Luke Cyphers, my esteemed colleague came to grab the seat next to me. He was booted out.

Leander Schaerlaeckens: But Honduras is making the occasional breakout.

Chris Jones: Girls named Elizabeth, we do.

Leander Schaerlaeckens: Spain is dominant on the ball here.

Chris Jones: You can't beat that kind of info.

ESPN Stats and Info: That was David Villa's first ever open play goal at the World Cup after two penalties and a direct free kick.

Leander Schaerlaeckens: This is a fairly even game now.

Leander Schaerlaeckens: And they make us sit in the dumbass seats!

Leander Schaerlaeckens: There are three empty seats in this freaking row!

Chris Jones: That's generally the idea. I'm Andy Richter, and he's Conan O'Brien, only multi-lingual and with a strange obsession with soccer.

Leander Schaerlaeckens: I have gambled and conquered!

Leander Schaerlaeckens: He has a seat!

ESPN Stats and Info: Five Spanish players still with 100% pass completion.

Chris Jones: I agree with Kyle -- maybe not Portugal-North Korea, but I think this is going to be pretty grim for Honduras.

Leander Schaerlaeckens: He skips, hops and jumps past three men from all the way out on the left and curled it into the far corner as his feet slipped out from under him!

Chris Jones: That was the proverbial matter of time.

Leander Schaerlaeckens: DAVID VILLA!

Leander Schaerlaeckens: WHAT A GOAL!!!

Leander Schaerlaeckens: Ooh! Casillas got to the bouncing ball into the box a split-second before Suazo does.

Leander Schaerlaeckens: On the other end, a Spanish cross sails to where nobody stands.

Leander Schaerlaeckens: Another cross sails to the Honduran keeper.

Chris Jones: Can't be afraid to lose some teeth, even if your girlfriend is watching.

Chris Jones: Casillas once again led with his feet there, which he did when Switzerland scored on him. I don't like that very much.

Leander Schaerlaeckens: A dangerous Honduras cross makes it into the box but Casillas can only slide it away.

Leander Schaerlaeckens: So far Honduras is being outclassed and Spain looks like its old self again.

Chris Jones: By Spain, maybe. If they can hit the net.

Leander Schaerlaeckens: He completely fooled Mendoza there.

Leander Schaerlaeckens: Villa with a long shot but it went well wide.

Leander Schaerlaeckens: Honduras with a cross, but it rolls to Casillas.

Chris Jones: For a second there, Honduras was in Spanish territory.

Leander Schaerlaeckens: A long ball by Honduras goes out of bounds.

Chris Jones: Donuts.

Leander Schaerlaeckens: Battery: 82%

Chris Jones: Valladares being tended to.

Leander Schaerlaeckens: A cross makes it to the second post but Ramos heads it over with huge open spaces in the goal.

Leander Schaerlaeckens: Corner to Spain, played short.

Chris Jones: Burnley, alas. Family team. It was fun while it lasted.

Leander Schaerlaeckens: Xavi curls it into the box but Sergio Ramos can't get to it, in spite of bowling over an opponent.

Chris Jones: Nope.

Leander Schaerlaeckens: Long free kick for Spain now.

Leander Schaerlaeckens: How I know, you wonder. There's a Spanish speaking dude in the seat next to me doing a play-by-play over his cell phone.

Chris Jones: Scott, you do, in fact, exist.

Leander Schaerlaeckens: It was Alonso -- no suffix.

Leander Schaerlaeckens: Sergio Ramos's cross goes well over.

Chris Jones: Or it might have been David Villa... Someone in red hit the crossbar.

Leander Schaerlaeckens: A long Xabi Alonso curler hits the bar!

Chris Jones: Japan

Chris Jones: Torres just got his first shot, a harmless looper.

Chris Jones: Spain in control early.

Leander Schaerlaeckens: Let me know add that "I think" will be an automatic, unspoken suffix to each sentence.

Chris Jones: Yes, which is why the commentary, strangely enough, is so poor.

Leander Schaerlaeckens: Spain was again dangerous in the box but the ball was cleared -- I think.

Leander Schaerlaeckens: Navas had the ball on the right and whipped it into the box but he couldn't see much.

Chris Jones: Cross from Navas, easily handled by the Honduran keeper.

Leander Schaerlaeckens: I'm here. I'm trying to see.

Chris Jones: I believe we've lost Leander.

ESPN Stats and Info: Honduras is the team which scored the fastest goal against Spain at a World Cup (1982, Zelaya, 8th minute).

Chris Jones: Casillas just touched the ball!

Chris Jones: I can't see anything happening in the middle of the field. Right now, neither keeper has the ball.

Leander Schaerlaeckens: Chris, can you tell?

Leander Schaerlaeckens: We're underway, I think.

Chris Jones: Uruguay!

Leander Schaerlaeckens: I'm scouring for an empty desk seat. THere don't seem to be too many.

Chris Jones: Sorry dear readers... Big man. I mean big man. I just looked at his press credential. Any guesses as to the country of origin?

Leander Schaerlaeckens: The teams appear ready to go.

Chris Jones: Fat man just stepped on my shoulder and I hit enter.

Chris Jones: v5b r

Leander Schaerlaeckens: I'd stand if it wouldn't make my laptop fall off my lap.

Chris Jones: Anthems...

Chris Jones: It's like Cover it Live: starts strong, turns into nonsense.

Leander Schaerlaeckens: 89%

ESPN Stats and Info: Spain have kept only five clean sheets in their last 21 World Cup finals games.

Leander Schaerlaeckens: It sounds the players are coming out. I have no idea, to be honest, since I can't see the bottom third of the left half of the field.

Chris Jones: You know what, I thought it was pretty nifty when he volleyed that ball off his back before it hit the ground. The back was an accident; the footwork was pretty great.

Chris Jones: I'm a keeper. I scored once, on a penalty shot. I felt dirty after.

Chris Jones: I didn't make the Honduras starting lineup, again.

Leander Schaerlaeckens: Honduras:
Goalkeeper: Noel Valladares
Defenders: Sergio Mendoza, Osman Chavez, Maynor Figueroa and Emilio Izaguirre
Midfielders: Wilson Palacios, Amado Guevara, Danilo Turcios, Roger Espinoza and Walter Martinez.
Attackers: David Suazo.

Chris Jones: Um, in my whole life? Quite a few teams. Right now, I play for the Ottawa Fusion, and in a fat old man pub league.

Chris Jones: Now that's quality office furniture humor, Gary.

ESPN Stats and Info: Spain's defeat against Switzerland was the first time they lost with Andres Iniesta in the starting line-up.

Leander Schaerlaeckens: Spain:
Goalkeeper: Iker Casillas.
Defenders: Sergio Ramos, Carles Puyol, Gerard Pique and Joan Capdevilla
Midfielders: Sergio Busquets, Xabi Alonso, Jesus Navas and Xavi
Attackers: Fernando Torres and and David VIlla

Leander Schaerlaeckens: Let's get some administration out of the way.

Leander Schaerlaeckens: It's all going smoothly.

Leander Schaerlaeckens: Jones is on the other side of the press stand, as a result of a ticket mix-up.

Leander Schaerlaeckens: No! I swear! Those hairs on my pillow are from a dog that came to stay the other day!

Chris Jones: If you count the big man behind me as a desk, then yes, I have a desk.

Chris Jones: Wait, he announces with someone else? Leander, is that true?

Chris Jones: Dear readers: the situation is tenuous. A large man is sitting behind me, on my power cable, which is stretched about three and a half miles.

Leander Schaerlaeckens: Battery update: 93% and dropping. Wireless: OK for now. Sightline: ghastly.

Leander Schaerlaeckens: 'T is.

Chris Jones: Okay, is this thing on?

Leander Schaerlaeckens: LEAN CHEERLEADER SNACK, I thought was the best.

Leander Schaerlaeckens: That's the mistake I've made.

ESPN Stats and Info: Honduras only managed to touch the ball once in the opposition's box against Chile, fewer times than any other side in the opening round.

Leander Schaerlaeckens: I'm in the first row without desks. I hope a few deskies don't show and that I can get my desk on.

Leander Schaerlaeckens: Most seats have a desk. This one not so much.

Leander Schaerlaeckens: I do. They need this win badly. I believe that if they lose they're out.

Leander Schaerlaeckens: They're not much use when FIFA has given you nowhere to plug them in...

Leander Schaerlaeckens: Greetings from South Africa, Dan!

Leander Schaerlaeckens: Well, good news there. One of us has shown. But for how long nobody knows.

Leander Schaerlaeckens: Time for some reader mail.

Leander Schaerlaeckens: My fingers might not even freeze mid-word.

ESPN Stats and Info: These teams have only met once previously: in the Group stage during the 1982 World Cup, the Catrachos held the hosts Spain to a 1-1 draw.

Leander Schaerlaeckens: Whereas the past days it was absolutely freezing, it's kind of nice today.

Leander Schaerlaeckens: It's rather balmy, considering that winter started here today, Jamie.

Leander Schaerlaeckens: Not likely, but there's always the chance.

Leander Schaerlaeckens: So start your letter-writing campaigns now and hopefully it will have been resolved by the end of the game.

Leander Schaerlaeckens: It appears that Jonesy is already down.

Leander Schaerlaeckens: It's all down to great uncle FIFA, to be honest, as they've stuck us in terrible seats that are tableless, powerless and wirelessless.
