Speaking of us, Im pretty confident we can make good matches against Spain and Holland, if we somehow manage to "control" them with pressure hopefully we wont get many one-on-one situations where our defenders(except for Medel) would probably loose.

Bad thing is that both of them play the offensive-posession thing that we do and are not the traditional european stiff teams(Like England) that would fit us much more.

Anyway, after Chile, I will always support the rest of south americans, so good luck

Yeah... I was just watching the sports section of the news here and someone made a comment on how your group is more on the "technical" side while ours is more on the "physical" one. It will be quite difficult to take the ball from Spain if they're on their game though (it happened to us, not long ago...), so you might be forced to play more on the defensive side than you would want to. Holland is a bit more practical and frontal I believe, so you might end up sharing the ball with them.

Can't say I fully support the rest of South America here as you because... You know... Argentina and Brazil... >.< It's a love-hate relationship !

No issue with you guys though, so, good luck to you !

Last time we played  we managed to steal the ball away from them, until we were 2-1 up, then we started playing physical and chasing the ball and they scored in the last minute, so I guess we have to try to do the same this time. We have players that can do that, but cant do shit when it comes to physical football, specially in the back
