Pique and Ramos were horrendous...in saying that, if anyone on here still disputes that robben is a world class talent, you must think james Milner is the best England player ever

Robben has always had the talent Brit, its the size of his bo**ocks and stomach for a fight that has been the question. When the game is tight, you are on the back foot, and defending is as important as attacking, that is when Robben has been found wanting. Anyway, totally convinced Milner and Glen Wantsome will have him in their pockets in the final.............. Not!

What a start to the tournament. 4 years ago it was a slow burner which never really took of but this time we are 3 games in and we surely already have the result of the tounrament.

Spain were all over the place. That midfield needs freshening up and they have the players to do it so don't rule them out. Think it's time xavi and alonso moved over and pedro and koke came in. Not impressed with costa and as usual his antics when things aren't going right come out again.

Unsurprisingly you didn't mention Torres' magic trick at the end.

That was coming.

If Chile get a handsome victory today, there will be no way a draw against Chile will be suffice for Spain.

What about hockey (the icey version), that seems a bit more flashy, or do I only get to see the highlights?

I respect Hockey. It's flashy as you say, action packed. Although, it seems they've also instituted some kind of TV timeout system. Despite my gripes, I'll watch American Football, baseball, hockey, basketball, etc. I'm a sports fan. I'm not judgemental. I just get riled up when insufferable twats insult soccer and me as a fan, while refusing to admit to the many flaws in the games they prefer.

Anyway, sorry to drag us off topic here. Back to the Cup. Looks like the Aussie's are in trouble.

 
Don't ever ever write Australia off. Aussies never know when they are beaten. I love em for that never say die attitude.

2-0! Atrocious defending.

2 defenders ran to one attacker, that attacked did not get the ball. Free shot at goal. Really bad.

At least we still have Timmy's beautiful noggin to score goals.

 
Australia are essentially the West Ham of the WC. Just gotta keep sending it down the wings and crossing it in.

Should just appoint Big Sam to be honest.

 
After that Spain vs. Holland game, this Chile vs. Australia is such a treat, the socceroos falling behind early and then a fantastic response from the old hand, I love games like these.
