Wow, Chili missed an open goal opportunity
Also, if Chili wins this and Brazil somehow finishes 2nd in Group A, the Netherlands - Chili might be a fun match since the winner would play Brazil, and I think both rather avoid Brazil.

even when they play like against Mexiko?

Really depends who finshes first and second in Group A. The #1 of Group A (Brazil, Mexico, Cameroon, Croatia) will play the #2 of Group B (Spain, the Netherlands, Chili, Australia) and the #2 of Group A will play Group B's #1. So if Brazil finishes 2nd, you obviously want to avoid them so you also wanna finish second. If Brazil finishes #1 in their group, you also obviously wanna finish #1 to avoid them which would lead to an intense match between the Netherlands and Chili.

Yeah Spain can't win. Plus Chile has been so close to scoring more goals.

Spain needs to win. At a draw, Chili and the Netherlands could just make a 'deal' and draw their game.

I don't think so. Players want to play and win as much as they can at a World Cup.

Would you take that risk with the risk of going out if the Netherlands score? I know I wouldn't.

Spain isn't really doing much to change the result.

Del Bosque should just send Casillas on vacation after this match. No point in keeping him there.

There's no risk. Whoever they face in the next round they will have to deal with in whatever way they can. Brazil aren't exactly special either. Players don't think like this, they want to shine and go down in history.



Cazorla and Mata should have started against Netherlands and today. But yeah 5pa1n, the s is silent
