Group B

Wilkinson you fuckin donkey.

Great pass from Iniesta to set up the goal. Villa is way too good to be going to A league / MLS

In the other match in group B, Netherlands is getting raped on by chile.

Uni, do you get your money back for a draw? Don't think you do.

 

[Universe]

I just want to make my money back.

No I don't believe so. Sportsbet said a scoring loss will result in a refund.

 

[Fitzy]

Btw, all Tom Oar has done all tournament is make himself look like a goose.

 

[Universe]

I think the Aus LB is trash. Stood out as trash to me in the Netherlands game too.

Also, why did no one tell me that the Asian cup next year is in Aus? I'll definitely be given VIP tickets to the final of that. Might actually consider going for once.

He was good against Chile, but his positioning has let him down in the last few games.

The advertising of the tournament has been superb, that's for sure.

Sanchez is a beast!

 

[Universe]

I bet Torres will score.

 

[Efrain21C]

I bet Torres will score.

and we will buy torres after that

 

[Ronaldo]

I thought I watch Netherlands - Chile as I was sure it was going to be interesting but so far it's been boring!

I don't think the Australia - Spain is much better.

So far as the results stand Chile are going to face Brazil. I think they can cause Brazil some trouble and if they play well there is even a chance they could win. Although I hope not!

Depay coming on.

I think Brazil could beat the Netherlands, while I'm sceptical against Chile. Brazil can really abuse teams on the counter and if they leave open spaces. Chile would play defensively and Brazil wouldn't know what to do with the ball. While against the Netherlands there would be spaces for brazil and they could win it with counters.

Apparently Brazilians prefer Netherlands too but I disagree. Netherlands are going to play defensive. Van Gaal is not stupid and he knows the Brazilians are most probably going to rely on counters. I think Netherlands are going to play the same way they played against Spain and rely on speed of Robben for counters.

 

[Aurel]

Fantastic header to put the Netherlands in to the lead.

 

[Ronaldo]

This Depay guy has really nice long shots. And he is only 20!

Everyone thought of the same 4 years ago about Brazil v Holland.

De jong was about to score an own goal but the Chilian guy blocked the shot

You are right, of course Van Gaal would know what to do but still. The Netherlands are a big football nation, they couldn't just sit back while Chile wouldn't mind that. But as a Brazil-Fan I would like them to play against Chile, because even though Netherlands style would fit Brazil better, the Netherlands are still way more dangerous and no one would like to play against them I guess.

If Brazil can rely on counters why can't Netherlands? If Netherlands just sit back I don't think Brazil can do shit as their passing is not that good.

Edit: are you watching Netherlands now? Do you see how they are sitting back and relying on counters? In the first half Chile had 68% possession.
