Brazil are the new 9/2 favourites to win the World Cup after Spain's shock loss to Switzerland. The Euro 2008 champions have been eased from 7/2 before their 1-0 defeat in Durban to 5/1 by Paddy Power although Spain's overall chances are not too badly damaged with prospects of qualifying from the group still at 1/3. Brazil are now the market leaders are 9/2 and could now be Spain's second round opponents should Del Bosque's team not win Group H. The Spanish are 9/4 not to make it to the knockout stages. Paddy Power himself said: "It's the biggest shock of the World Cup so far and punters have taken a right kick in the cojones with that loss today. But there's a long way to go yet and Spain are still in the hunt – at least for now." Although unlikely, Switzerland are now 125/1 to win the World Cup from 200/1 before today's sensational victory.
