Spain vs Chile / Honduras vs Swiss

[IronMexican]

Go Chile, go Swiss.

[The_Worlds_finest]

Sad that the group stages are over

[DAF86]

Chile vs Spain, most anticipated game in the group stage for me.

Vamo' Shhhile bolo'

[IronMexican]

I think Chile and Spain tie 0-0, and Swiss win 1-0.



It's actually more wishful thinking.

[Spurologist]

the south american unbeaten WC streak ends today

[DAF86]

I think Chile and Spain tie 0-0, and Swiss win 1-0.



It's actually more wishful thinking.

Why do you want them to tie? If you want Spain to get eliminated then it's the same if Chile wins, and if you're hoping for a tie, at least hope for a 3-3 :lol

[DAF86]

Yep, I think so too, not only that, I think Chile will get eliminated also, which would be very unfair 'cause Chile >>> Switzerland.

you know the goal differential is b/w the Swiss and Chile?

EDIT: only 2......definitely possible Chile could be booted out

[IronMexican]

If Chile ties, they have 7 points, right? And if the Swizz win, they have 6. Spain would have 4, and be out. I just want spain out.

[Spurologist]

If Spain goes out, there's going to be a national suicide watch in Espagne

[DAF86]

If Chile ties, they have 7 points, right? And if the Swizz win, they have 6. Spain would have 4, and be out. I just want spain out.

If Chile wins, they have 9 points, and Spain would have 3. Which means that Spain is also out.

Because of the style both these teams play I don't think we'll see a tie, I think Spain will win, but if you ask me a Chile win is more probable than a tie between these two.

[Spurologist]

Torres, Villa and Iniesta are starting. Chile is gotta got butt hurt

[NuGGeTs-FaN]

Sad that the group stages are over

i agree. The group stage should be 6 games. Each team plays each other twice :lol

So much build up for 4 years and your team could be home after 3 games :bang

[SAtown]

Should be a good one as it's basically a knockout game

[MannyIsGod]

This should be an excellent couple of games - a lot at stake.

[Spurologist]

they could make a loser's bracket....best of the worst. :lol

[MannyIsGod]

Wow that was some nice passing only to have it end up in nothing.

[SAtown]

What a wasted opportunity

[MannyIsGod]

I like what I'm seeing out of Chile so far.

[NuGGeTs-FaN]

they could make a loser's bracket....best of the worst. :lol

:lmao Unfortunately with the results in this world cup it would just be like watching the Africa Cup of Nations :depressed I was hoping the African nations would do well on their own continent.

Ivory Coast needed 9 goals but got 3. Fuckers. :lol

[Spurologist]

Efan Okoku just got owned by Ian Darke about the call that should've been a red card

:rollin

[MannyIsGod]

Amazingly stupid.

[SAtown]

What the fuck was that

[LoneStarState'sPride]

Wtf?

[NuGGeTs-FaN]

WOW

what a cockup.........but it was a perfect kick as well, given that stupid Jabalani ball :lol

[DAF86]

Double mistake by Bravo, first one: you don't go out there as a goal keeper. Second: once there, you have to throw it to the stands.

[Spurologist]

GK made a nice slide but that shit's gotta be outta bounds.

[NuGGeTs-FaN]

yeh, should have gone straight for the sideline.

Very costly mistake

[LoneStarState'sPride]

WOW

what a cockup.........but it was a perfect kick as well, given that stupid Jabalani ball :lol

LOL, true, I kept waiting for it to do some sort of retarded midair corkscrew and miss the goal :lol

[NuGGeTs-FaN]

That was way too easy

[SAtown]

That's game

[DAF86]

Another mistake by Chile, and they got a red card too? that's it. Their only hope is for Switzerland to don't beat Honduras.

[LoneStarState'sPride]

Some piss poor defense--jeez

[NuGGeTs-FaN]

:lmao and it just gets worse for Chile.

What a flop by Torres! :lmao

[Spurologist]

Chile....imploding

[MaNuMaNiAc]

That red was a fucking joke! I swear to god the diving is ruining this sport. Pathetic Torres

[SAtown]

If Chile don't score, the Swiss can advance by winning

[ElNono]

Wow... somebody give El Niño an Oscar

[easy7]

Yep, it looks like Spain will choke. Viva Espana cabrones!!!! :hat

[SpursTillTheEnd]

lmao did yall hear the commentator on the spain game cuss lmaoooooooo

[DAF86]

What a fucking let down :depressed

What makes this even more awful is that Chile was playing better than Spain.

[NuGGeTs-FaN]

It is that ******* ref that gave Tim Cahill a red card and ruined Australia's chances.

[ElNono]

The fuckup by the goalie in the first goal is costing Chile dearly... I'm afraid the red card might be the nail in the coffin...

[ElNono]

Back to back first round exits for Bielsa?

[DAF86]

That Mexican ref sucks, he's way too strict.

[IronMexican]

damnit

[ElNono]

Medel is not going to finish this game...

[ElNono]

Ponce is not finishing either...

[DAF86]

I have Spain as the champion in my pre-tournament picks but if they keep playing like they did during the group stage they won't go far, maybe qualifying first despite of this will give them the confidence for the latter stages, but they aren't looking good right now.

[Whisky Dog]

The ref is bad, he did the same thing Couibaly did and pulled a makeup call. Estrada was reckless all over the field and should have been sent off on the tackle from behind on a breaking Iniesta but the ref doesn't book him there then makes up the call with a slight accidental feet tangle call. I hate that, of you didn't book him when you should have don't invent something. That said, excellent goal by Villa and pretty goal by Iniesta to have us pretty at the half.

Chile is a bunch on goons, horrible late tackles, tackles from behind, going spikes high on ankles and such, I hope they don't make the knockouts after all that bullshit. They deserve 11 yellows and a red in 2+ games.

[diego]

its all bravo's fault for going out to get that ball, no need for it, and once he was there he had to make sure it went out of bounds. till then the spanish had all the pressure and chile was finding space, after that all the pressure fell on chile and they lost control.

chile depends on the swiss' inability to score to advance. I still cant believe what a stupid mistake bravo made.

bielsa is a great coach, but he is too inflexible with his system. this is eerily similar to the 02 WC. instead of taking advantage of the other teams' desperation, his insistence on being the protagonist and playing full speed ends up leaving his team with no margin for error.

They've been sloppy and a have had defensive lapses and that's what could get them beat, although the same could be said for every contender. Even Brazil has looked beatable at times and made a few mistakes. It all depends on who brings the best play from here on out. I just wish Torres and Iniesta could get right, maybe Iniesta is starting to, looked a bit better to close the half and had excellent touch on the goal. If Villa can go off and keep scoring we have a legit chance.

No, that was a yellow card, which he got.

[NuGGeTs-FaN]

game on! nice goal with some help lol

[ffadicted]

woooow.... spain looked like shit on D there

[DAF86]

lol, fuck the ref and that stupid red card :bang

[NuGGeTs-FaN]

lol, fuck the ref and that stupid red card :bang

sounds like me nearly 2 weeks ago :lol

[DAF86]

woooow.... spain looked like shit on D the entire tournament

Fixed.

[ElNono]

lol Del Bosque... Takes out a forward for a midfielder...

[ElNono]

I told you all they defend like shit... They're not going to survive Brazil/Portugal if they move on

[ElNono]

BTW, count chocula is a terrible referee...

[DAF86]

WTF is Chile doing? it seems like they want to get scored on.

[DAF86]

What was that Bielsa? Sanchez is the only Chilean player that can create an oportunity on his own.

[ffadicted]

tbh, Villa should've had like, 7 by now

[ElNono]

Oh well, first South American team to lose. At least they qualify to the next round.
Had to happen eventually...

[DAF86]

Ref should finish the game right now, it's obvious that both teams are satisfied with the result.

[ElNono]

Brazil-Chile? Hmmmm....

[easy7]

:lmao :toast :hat

[Whisky Dog]

Went catatonic after the 75th minute, but congrats to Chile for moving on and good luck with Brazil.

[Whisky Dog]

No, that was a yellow card, which he got.

No, he got the yellow earlier for kicking Torres in the knee intentionally with a heel after the ball went out of bounds. Go back and look it up, he didn't get the yellow for the challenge on Iniesta like he should have.

That was Ponce not Estrada, Estrada got the yellow for the challenge on Iniesta.

[MaNuMaNiAc]

I have a feeling Brazil is going to decimate this Chile, good thing is then they'll probably face Holland.

[DAF86]

Brazil-Chile? Hmmmm....

Chile is way too unexperienced and careless on the back, Brazil will feast on the counterattack, which is what they do now.

[velik_m]

Only 3 euro teams will make the quarter finals.

[Whisky Dog]

That was Ponce not Estrada, Estrada got the yellow for the challenge on Iniesta.

Well then he got one somewhere else before because I know for a fact he didn't get one on that tackle. The announcers were going on and on about how he should have gotten one but didn't, and I never saw a card for that play.

Nice sig :lol

Props for following through with the bet

I see that you were reading Marca, you should know by now that they are some of the lowest form of journalism in the world.

No, didn't read anything just watched it happen live.

[Bukefal]

I dont know if its been mentioned, but today at the spain-chile game I noticed it was the only game where there was a moment of no vuvuzela's. Instead they were chanting/singing :clap

:lol
