Quite poor by Chile. They can do much better than this. Australia are a very limited side, but they use their few strengths quite well.
Day 2: Chile vs. Australia
- Thread starter gooDevil
- Start date
Doesn't look good for Vidal. No idea why they risked him in this game instead of saving him and making sure he's fully fit for the others.
Nice play by the ref 
Prediction:
England 3 Italy 1
England 3 Italy 1
The ref is having a good game.
This has been the best ref by a country mile.
I'm glad we agree. Plus if we keep our expectations rock bottom, anything above that will be a bonus!
Chile look so weak in crucial areas. Great game though. Lovely to see sides going for it.
I don't know. I can't work that out at half 12 in the morning.
There is still time for Chile to score a couple of goals but with the way the Aussies are fighting they might score again.
Im impressed with the aussies. The didnt fold and are working their nuts off
I said earlier in the thread I know how they felt. Ireland were dealt a rotton group (Italy, Spain, Croatia) in 2012. but we never showed fight like this. I hope they score again.

Ahh Beasejour. Chile trying to even things down.
Cahill is a beast!
Cahill has been great.
Nice play by the ref
Some head on Cahill!
Cahills mother has to be a kangoroo. Great jump there.
The nerves are shot with Chile and can't get over how their game has regressed. Not up to it at all and Australia deserve a draw right now. Having said that, Chile still have the class up front to put them to bed.
Australia played much better since the first 20 minutes. They better than they look. Funny that Vidal's market value is higher than the entire Australia squad, yet he got subbed against them after 60 minutes
Can someone answer this? - why is it that pretty much every other footballing nation pays with more energy and desire than England? Is it because we don't get an adequate break mid season?
I'm not just talking about the 4 games so far in this years WC.

Cahill could have outjumped Robert Wadlow.
It'd practically be cheating if Tim Cahill was 6ft7
Cahill is a beast at headers, one of the best in the game.
I hope 90% of the game takes place in Australia's half with only Chile GK in their half. 21 player mad scramble
I honestly thought after the second goal this was going to be embarrassing. I was seeing 7/8/9/-0 scorelines in my head.
Massive credit to Australia for getting back into it.

Have Chile on a -1, everything was rosy earlier. At 2-0 they've just been poor since, really poor. Aussies look more likely to grab the 4th goal. Hopefully Aus pour forward and Chile nick another 1 or 2....
The ref is great, here. Takes no prisoners.
Why is Pitbull managing Chile?
FFS the crazy eyes are out in full force in Brazil this evening.
Can someone get back to me about that nike advert? It's been bugging me for a while...
Australia can beat Spain?
Caf will soon be asking if we should sign him.
One of Cahill parents is Samoan. But the other could be kangaroo for sure. Not that I'm calling Samoans kangaroo feckers. :-S
Here here.
I know and look how good the game is...
That's Ronaldo's real life girlfriend.
Second that. Chile are lost out there right now.
Premier league could do worse then try and sign this ref..
Chile are so naive, but it makes it great to watch. Throwing men forward despite the game being like this, if ever a calm head in midfield was needed...
