Lots of people predict Argentina 2 : 1 South Korea.

Sometimes, my list, instead of a prediction, seems more of a wishlist.

Anyway, keeping my fingers crossed for it to be a 3 : 0 match, with no surprises.



How is it that a country ranked 18th in the world hasn't won a world cup game for 48 years?

Fifa rankings are a joke! I think I should have reconsidered by prediction that Chile would win

 potential self facepalm/



yea, why are they 18th when their performance looks far better quality than what most of the european "football powers" showed?



They were second in the qualification rounds in south -America, so I was expecting a good showing from them.  They're all little energiser bunny's, they keep on going.

I can't believe you didn't know Chile was a powerful squad that always plays great attacking footbal...this is very much expected. Alexis is as talented as ever...this match is refreshing to see, very interesting football to change a bit the tone of a kinda boring WC so far.

Chile finished 2nd in the qualifyings, very comfortably...it's expected for them to do well

Honduras are a poor side. Not as bad as not having won a world cup game in 48 years but still pretty disasterous record.



I wasn't aware they came second in South America.

Why didn't Argentina play well? I thought it was always Argentina and Brazil who came first has second?



I do have too big hopes on Chile. If I remember correctly I predicted a 2:0.

Argentina struggled to be on the World Cup, with so many outstanding players that is. That's the reason Maradona became kind of resisted by some people on the media, and that's why he feels the need to prove a lot.
