HOLY SHIT

Who would have thought that Chile would be topping Group H? And playing the best match of the World Cup so far. It's been such a strange World Cup. Very unpredictable. I would say, though, that after making the statement a few days ago to "watch out for Switzerland", Spain didn't ! All that passing...there was something so languid about it. They looked like they really lacked the killer instinct until it was too late. Not to take anything away from Switzerland, though. They played a superb game tactically and took advantage of the opportunity to score when it was presented to them. Damn...I knew this group would be interesting, though. Vamos, Chile! You hot little South Americans! YEAAAHHHH!!

I think that, again...I have not very popular opinion but Spain neglected the opponent. They woke up after losing goal but then for change had no luck at all. They tried like maniacs for nothing.

Congrats to Chile.

YES!!! Spain played like they thought they would win no matter what and were too lazy, IMO. It seems like they are always the same...playing the Barca way. It is TOO predictable and a smart coach will be able to foil them.

Yes! It was a case of too little, too late, for Spain!

Chile did very well...URUGUAY even better!!! :)
