World Cup Daily: Shock as Switzerland stun Spain

On your latest World Cup Daily podcast, Tom Lutz and Paolo Bandini join James Richardson to look back on the first entirely exciting day of the World Cup.

We start by hearing from Sid Lowe about Spain's shock defeat to Switzerland. Where does this leave the tournament favourites? (Joint-bottom of their group with Honduras, who lost to Chile in the day's early kick-off.)

From there we ask whether South Africa will become the first host nation who will fail to qualify for the knock-out stages after they were thumped by Uruguay.

Finally, we look ahead to tomorrow's action, including fractious France who are up against Mexico, the second outings for South Korea and Argentina, while Guardian Fans' Network member Thomas Michalakos tells us about the problems for Greece ahead of their meeting with Nigeria.

Tweet us below and see you for more podding tomorrow.
