2-1 is the score in favor of chile, while chile is living up to its name, I am greatly impressed by this australia side, while judging them we have to keep in mind this is an australian side going through a transition phase.

It's gonna be funny when Chile beats Spain and they get knocked out of the groups stage >__O Skype just went crazy from that match and it was a brilliant match. Van Persie's goal was genius and beautiful, it's going to be hard to top that goal and that cracking Game brought to you by Holland and the funnies brought you by Casillas. Robben was Man of the Match for me.

Anyways, Chile's goals two minutes between each other was good fun to watch - Australia are trying to make a come back yet and this seems to be a good match as well xD

Lol I was so right about Spain, after winning the 2012 Euro's they have just looked as if they don't care. I know its only 1 game but that isn't the performance of a team playing together

The way spain played today chile can beat them, if they gather enough confidence from this match, actually now I feel group b is an exciting group, more than the pundits predicted.

At this rate even Australia can beat Spain. Australia doesn't have much quality, their current match against Chile clearly shows Chile is just better, however Australia is showing backbone and character. Against this Spain that could be enough if they have some luck to get a draw or even a victory.

Caliiii do you haz skype, you can join the world cup chat xP In all seriousness though, Games to look forward too tomorrow for me are England and Italy - I'm so scared tho, I want England to win so bad I just don't think they can T_T

Lol I wouldn't be surprised, when the world cup was held here 4 years ago, the only team that went undefeated was New Zealand xd they drew all their group games and even though they didn't progress past the group phase, they were unbeaten. I wouldn't be surprised if Australia did something similar

R.I.P Casillas career .

3-1 win in favor of chile, even though draw would have been better, australia were really good in second half, match was closer than scoreline suggested.
A few points :-
1. Both the teams played positive attacking football, it was good.
2. Chile are as good as they say, but have the problem of overplaying in their half, they should simplify and just push the ball towards the goal.
3. Chile is they shake of their nerves have a realistic chance of qualifying from this group
4. Socceroos showed great character they didn't allow it to be a walk in the park for chile, but just were unlucky.
5. Sanches for chile and cahill and goalkeepers were outstanding players
6.Defense of both the teams is a little dwindling, they should rejoice with the fact that spain is in the same boat
7. Group B just got exciting

I feel so sorry for Cahill, he tried so hard and had so many missed opportunities

Come on guys lets not be naive here, its one thing netherland beating spain its another thing austraila and chile beating them which would be a disgrace. True spain didn't have the best of games and their back lines is not very good but it takes a good team with world class players or at the very least decent players to do that. I see spain beating austraila and chile and qualifying for the next round and im still skeptic that the dutch would have smooth sailing from here on out, as we all know this is football.

R.I.P Casillas career .

Casillas career was destroyed by mourinho 2 years ago when he made him sit on the bench, at that time he was a great goalkeeper, he should just have left real madrid for a team which offered him regular football, which at that time were many

This setback will be good for spain as it will help them rebuild their squad, as it was good for barcelona too.

Me too I felt he deserved another goal for his hardwork, hard to believe he is 32.

The Netherlands are pretty much guaranteed the top spot of the group. Even if Spain should come second they are going to face Brazil meaning they will lose again, badly too. It's best for their team to get knocked out now and focus on the youth instead of the old dinosaurs past their prime.

 

[MarBellarke]

All you guys talking badly and laughing at my side should be quiet.
Today, Spain showed that their defence have become week. Holland played great today and duo up front was amazing. Holland beating Spain is nothing... the Dutch has an amazing team.
I'm not going to follow anyone and say that Spain lost their match 2010 and won anyway and the same might happen again, because this time it's not 1 nil, it's 5 - 1.
This is football and you don't know what the scoreline is going to be until the final whistle is blown. Oh... one more thing, this is the World Cup, miracles happen.
Stop talking about Brazil. Brazil's match was poor.

Damm Spain lost.
But It's not over yet C'mon Spain you can do it

 

[keepitonehunned]

Casillas literally got shitted on .. but I still have faith in Spain the world cup isn't over till it's over #TeamSpain !

 

[Memento Mori]

It seems you never seriously played football. Losing 1-0 and losing 5-1 are two completely different things. In the first case you can still say something like that it was bad luck or that it just happened, especially against a team like Switzerland who is known to have a very strong defense. But that was not the case here. Even if you lose 4-1 like Atlético Madrid in the Champion's League final, you can still say something like you were playing all or nothing. But that wasn't the case here.

Spain got butchered. Not so much because the Netherlands was that strong, Robben and Van Persie showed they are still world class however I kept an eye on their defensive line and that wasn't good at all, but because Spain was in the 2nd half horrible, just horrible. Every football player has one of those matches where it seems like everything works, in this case for the Dutch, but the reality is that Spain just sucked balls. They did everything wrong, they didn't know anymore how to play football and yes if you then have people like Robben and Van Persie, well they will not show any mercy. Spain doesn't have an excuse. Even if Spain had a complete off-day, it shouldn't have been that bad. Their entire team crumbled. Attack, midfield, defense, keeper...

Losing against Switzerland with 1-0 was just a small accident de parcours, however losing against the runner-up from the previous world cup with 5-1, with 4 goals in a timespan of barely 40 minutes because you completely forget how to play football, is serious, very serious. Spain now already has the knife against their throat. If they lost 2-1 or 1-0 at least then they still have a guarantee of their qualities, but they completely cracked.

This wasn't just losing a match, but you need to be a real football player to understand that. Spain is still Spain, but they received a huge blow.

Yes I completely agree with you.For me it seems like Spain lost the teamwork and Timing.If things go at this rate,It'll hard for them to Pass through Group stages

Casillas literally got shitted on .. but I still have faith in Spain the world cup isn't over till it's over #TeamSpain !

I think Casillas will be on Bench for remaining Fifa,If team management is angry on him
