From what I've seen, Chelsea are welcome to Diego Costa..

Now of course I've said that he'll bang in the goals vs the small boys lol

Spain played like snails throughout. Complete contrast to how quick they were in closing down Italy in the Euro final in 2012. There's been rumours they were blood doping and it wouldn't surprise me.

This is why football is such a great sport, who could've seen this coming.

Really disappointing from Spain. Shocking management as well in terms of selection and "tactics". All credit to Chile though, managed to keep Spain quiet.

They weren't good enough and can't win always.

So I hope you edit those stupid allegations.

Great stuff from Chile.

Spain have shipped one more goal in this world cup, than in their previous three major tournaments..!

Apparently Casillas' girlfriend said in an interview that if Spain go out in the group stages she would do the post match interview naked (she's a tv presenter).
Might just have to watch that :drool:

Very exciting Chile team, happy for them and their fans. Suisse radio has been doing profiles throughout the World Cup and they had a segment on 3200 Chilean fans coming by massive 4500 km convoy to Brasil - it was a wonderful story. One of the kewl things about this World Cup

CHI-LE!

6 great years for Spain have finally come to an end.

Football goes in cycles and many countries would love to achieve half of what they did

Well wasn't one of their doctors silenced about this? Not that I think Spain is the only guilty country either mind you.

Tiki-taka isn't dead, nor does it necessarily have to be boring. Spain lost the excitement part in 2010, and now for this set of players it's over completely.

Agreed. All great teams go in cycles and their time at the top is over for now. But they'll be back in the future.

Chile is a really good team. Not surprised. Germany barely beat them 1:0 in a test not long ago, had they buried any of their plethora of chances that would have been a rout for Chile.

So a female can't write a football book? What's wrong with you. Bigot.

I've read the book. What do you want an exact date? Do you want a picture of me with the book?!
