SOUNDBITE (Spanish) Sergio Caballero, Spain football fan: "Look, Spain is superior to Honduras. They're a bit of an unknown team for us, which is always the case when European teams play South Americans. It won't be a strange outcome to the match. Well, looking at the statistics, and the reports we've seen in Spain, it should be an easy match for Spain, much easier for sure than against Switzerland which we lost, and they too were an inferior team, but I think that today's game will be an easy one for Spain." 10.

Scores of fans wearing the distinctive red and gold of Spain descended on Viva Espana, a traditional Spanish restaurant just outside Johannesburg on Monday, ahead of their team's crunch game against Honduras. Ordering food and drinks from home, the fans got into the party spirit before the match at Ellis Park stadium. "The point of eating here in this Spanish restaurant is a kind of warm up for the stadium" said Nacho Nuno, who said the group wanted to feel some authentic Spanish atmosphere ahead of this evening's match. Spain lost the opening game of their World Cup tournament to Switzerland, but fans seem to think that was a mere bump in the road as their team takes on Honduras. "Look, Spain is superior to Honduras" stated Sergio Caballero, wearing a team hat and t-shirt, and a Spanish flag around his shoulders. "They're a bit of an unknown team for us ... it should be an easy match for Spain, much easier for sure than against Switzerland, which we lost." At Viva Espana, the fans feasted on skillets of paella, the traditional shellfish and rice Spanish dish. They drank Spanish beer and red wine sangria, which helped contribute to the jovial atmosphere at the restaurant, and raised spirits ahead of the game. At the end of the meal, the Spanish fans raised a glass to toast the expected success of their team. The game against Honduras starts at 2030 local time (1830 GMT).
