3 good games today, especially the main event spectacular. England v Italy tomorrow. The WC has arrived 
Day 2: Chile vs. Australia
- Thread starter gooDevil
- Start date
Apart from that foul he gave to Chile and should have given to Australia about 10 minutes go no. He hasn't. He's been excellent.
Don't triple tap it though, those crosses never work
What a goal
That is true, but they can't take any chances. Spain will score a bunch of goals against Australia. Who knows if van Gaal will go easy on Chile. He might not.
Good strike.
That's that.
There it is.
Great game.
Great game.
Great performance. So much effort and courage. Just lacking that touch of class that the top teams have to unlock defences.
not deserved, Aussies worthy of a draw.
feck
Well that is what Chile desperately needed
Harsh on the Aussies that.
Gutted
F*ck off. Chile have really got away with this tonight.
Boom.
You have to feel for Australia, harsh on them. That extra bit of class told in the end IMO.
Ah well it happens in football.
3-1 Chile. Australia are knackered! Fair play to them though. Chile will need to play much better than this against Spain and Holland!
Chile celebrated having won the World Cup.
Oh.....no...wait. They've just scraped a win over an amateur side. Mugs.

Beausebelledejour scores.
Well that came from nothing...
You beautiful man Beausejour just won me a good few quid
Pitbull happy with that one.
Why are the Chile fans having a shootout?
As lively as the action has been, this has been quite a boring match.
That helps a lot.
+ 6 goal differential on Spain.

Best game so far. Entertaining clash of styles. Bonus points for proper refereeing and commentators.
Australia lost but I think they can take heart from this game and stay positive they can get something against Spain/Netherlands.
I've enjoyed it.
Not only is the score line very flattering; Chile do not deserve 3 points from that game. I really feel for Australia. Great game though.
Nice goal by Bonjour, as the German commentator kept calling him
Spain will put at least 4 past Australia if they snap out of whatever they're feeling right now.
It looks like the referee was thinking about getting in the way of that shot that was the 3rd goal. He moves out of the way just in time!Today's been a great day of football. I tuned in at 4, and I'm still sat here at nearly 1 in the morning. That's what the World Cup is all about.
Really hope tomorrow is as good.

I'd say they deserve 3 points. Its not like any of the goals were controversial. They were all earned.
I thought it was a cracking game, end to end stuff and the ref let it flow, what more do you want from a game like this.
My point is that despite being end to end, it lacked something. Probably because most of the players seem anonymous compared to the better known sides.
I'm looking at it in terms of their ability as a team especially when they eventually face better opposition. Chile were extremely poor tonight... lacked conviction or belief when Australia scored. That's not a good sign.
You have a point. The goals were all fairly and well earn't but actually apart from the first 15 minutes or so, Australia were the better team and yet they go away with nothing. That's football though I guess. But off the back of that performance; there's no way Chile are getting any further than the last 16.
