Spain may look to have escaped one of the tougher groups at Friday's World Cup draw but coach Vicente del Bosque is taking nothing for granted.

The European champions are one of the favourites heading into the World Cup and they will certainly be expected to progress out of Group H, where they were drawn against Chile, Honduras and Switzerland.

However, Del Bosque refused to accept it was a comfortable group for his country: "It's not a group to complain about, neither is it one to be euphoric about.

"Honduras are the least known, but they will present their difficulties. Chile have a great team, and Switzerland are doing well.

"They have a coach in (Ottmar) Hitzfeld who has changed the team a lot and he has built a great side.

"We will have to prepare well. They are three teams who have qualified well and we must be cautious."

While Spain's group appears to be a reasonable one, it becomes very tough very quickly for the Iberian nation if they get through

Awaiting in the next phase will be a team from Group G, the undoubted 'Group of Death' with Brazil, Portugal, the Ivory Coast and North Korea making up the four teams.

Del Bosque preferred not to look too far ahead though, saying: "On my part it would be irresponsible to think of the last 16.

"First we need to overcome three difficult opponents and focus only on qualifying. They all have their difficulties. This is the first step to gaining confidence."
