Chile not really any easier than Holland necessarily

Ivan!

chile suit brazil better, netherlands will be more reactive

no class

so paulinho experiment over then

Yeah I would say Chile would like Brazil more than mex.

lol at ESPN radio call of Rafa's goal
THE PREVIOUS EIGHT CORNERS WERE RUBBISH BUT THIS ONE PAID OFF

<3

OCHOA!

Chile don't have a great record against either side but wld probably prefer Mexico

Brazil are off the pace, not quite sharp enough and Chile are just the team to hand out punishment.

Be a great match - can't wait except there are a few more good games this week first *pleasure overload*

welp

Will be v interesting what tactic Holland will use against Mexico. Impressed by what Herrera has done with that team.

Just put that Ian Wright thing on the English football thread on ILF. What a complete fucking tool.

so if gerrard and lampard retire does wright want them to call soldiers families?

Don't think they qualify as young, tbf.

Brazil looked so much better with Fernandinho on the pitch. Before that, the move that led up to the Hulk miss was incredible, shame about the finish. David Luiz did way too much pissing about dressed as Erykah Badu tonight.

Try as I might to feel otherwise, a heavy sense of doom has fallen over me now that Chile is sure to play Brazil. The record against the selecao is dismal (8-50-12 since 1916, if my source is correct), and the sheer weight of this precedent overshadows any other considerations for me. Nonetheless, I'm glad some of you are feeling a bit more bullish about their chances.

pray for paulinho to start imo

Hulk will do his best as well

I fear for Chile too, if they had a top class striker the Netherlands wouldn't have seen which way they went yesterday.

Tim Vickery yesterday (who is one of the few people I quite like listening to from the BBC) cites that record plus Chile's weaknesses in set pieces and the counter. Otoh Brazil's non-defense will leak more goals if Chile pass and move around like they can.

I am probably and sadly wrong.

It will be a high scoring match.

There Will Be Lulz

balotelli and immobile up front, p sure prandelli said they couldn't play together.

italy following the wilkins plan

Were those balloons

‏@ThomAlexWatt
Rickie Lambert’s fastest recorded speed (16.9 km/h) at the World Cup is slower than that of Pletikosa, Neuer, Courtois, Reina or Akinfeev.

‏@ThomAlexWatt
In fact, there are only five players with slower figures. All of them goalkeepers.

hard to pick up much pace warming up tbfttl?

mario out of next game should italy progress

lol balotelli

I still can't tell if Costa Rica or any good or if they just got a handy fuckin group tbrr

Mario's head seems to have fallen completely off his shoulders

caceras shot from 15 yards in his own half. he missed.
