Nice, enjoyable game by Chile, who are, along with England, my 2nd most liked teams after my own country

Shame they didnīt score more goals, which I believe they deserved.

Gerrard behind Rooney with Lampard and Barry in midfield for me. Give Gerrard a free run.

Spain are playing now, I think these guys will win it with their slick one touch passing.

Spain to win the cup. Once they get their passing and movement game going, which is usually all the time, I can't see anyone getting near them.

Theyīre my dark horses for this WC.

Itīs a squad that Iīve been following for 3 years ever since they beat Portugal in an under-21 World Cup, and many of those players are now in this team.

Look out for Matias Fernandez, who plays for my team (Sporting Lisbon), Valdivia, Islas and Alexis Sanchez.

Also, one of my favorite coaches, Marcelo Bielsa, is leading them.

I have to agree, but I hope they don't.. they are one of the few countries like Brazil that don't really make adjustments and just go about their business, stop us if you can mentality.. where the hell is the Spain of old, perennial under acheivers, lol

Re: 2010 FIFA World Cup South Africa

From what I have seen over the last 10 years it is becoming more and more popular with the Americans. It surprises me they are not interested in the global market the football can provide. I have travelled quite a lot over my life and I could say that everywhere I have gone there have been Manchester United or Arsenal shirts. Keeerching!

it is VERY popular over here, millions of kids playing, leagues all over the place, just the hard headed people that don't get it are the ones with the biggest mouths.. like anything, until they win something major "no one" will care.. look at basketball, when the USA stopped destroying people with their dream team, interest cearly dropped off until they started winning again, lol

Swiss goal!!!

Spain...

wow, could have been a hand ball had they not scored too, Pique looked to have handled the ball when he went down
