    World Cup Gallery: Spanish distractions

    A selection of the best
    photos from South Africa, with Spain winning despite the presence of Iker
    Casillas's girlfriend's in Johannesburg.

    Having been vilified for
    'putting off' the Spain goalkeeper during their opening defeat to Switzerland,
    Sara Carbonero managed to avoid further criticism this time round, despite
    taking  up her usual position behind the goal - probably because Spain
    managed to beat Honduras at Ellis Park.

    Still, the result didn't
    dampen this Honduran fan's enjoyment of the game - she was all smiles, despite
    knowing exactly how many goals Spain would put past her team.

    Spain win, fans celebrate. Is
    this just an excuse to put another pretty girl on these pages? Absolutely.

    In fact, it seems the only man not smiling at Ellis Park was
    Spanish defender Gerard Pique who suffered a painful night, first getting hit
    by the ball in the crown jewels before taking a blow to the mouth which
    resulted in his spitting blood.

    Honduras star David Suazo risks suffering the same fate as
    Pique - only he managed to escape unscathed.

    Switzerland's Valon Behrami can't quite believe what he has
    done - exactly why did he go for that second all-over arm tattoo?

    Ever wondered how the
    television brings you those fantastic overhead shots of the pitch? Here's the
    gadget that makes it all possible.

    Is this Chile fan in Santiago on his way up or down? It's
    difficult to say, but what is for sure is that he's one happy camper after his
    side's victory over Switzerland.

    Preening? Moi? Cristiano Ronaldo mistakes the pitch during
    Portugal's 7-0 drubbing of North Korea for an Armani underpants photoshoot.
    Still, the scoreline probably warranted the cheesy grin.

    And finally, spare a thought for mutinous French team
    captain, Patrice Evra, who seems to be contemplating the big mess his side find
    themselves in ahead of the do-or-die clash with South Africa.
