oh dear. oh dear clint.

I'm glad the Netherlands won. I would have been spitting chips if we won after that abysmal handball call got us a Jedinak penalty goal. But smurfing valiant effort. Proud of my nation after that performance. We're straight up the lowest ranked team and just stuck it to the folks who thrashed the current title holders. That's an effort.

[Jiro]

Super bummed that Dutch defender got carried off, too. I hope he's not too badly injured. A couple of dodgy tackles and some general foul play but otherwise that was a thoroughly exciting match, even if it wasn't the most technically sound.

[Psychotic]

Hope Chile can win. For me they're the true dark horses. Whatever my opinions on Belgium's quality are not necessary relevant here, I don't consider them dark horses because the world and his wife have been talking about them - they're not an unknown quantity. Chile, on the other hand, certainly are. I had high hopes for the South American teams outside of the big two, but injuries to Falcao and Suarez have dented Colombia and Uruguay's chances. Alexis Sanchez is still going strong for Chile though!

[Psychotic]

Chile 2-0 up. Incredible play from them, particularly their pressing. Casillas poor again - said they should've dropped him! - but Xabi Alonso has been worst of all. Completely out of sorts, he has been absolutely atrocious. ...still looks damn sexy with that beard though.

Spain is just.... Come on Spain. You won it, this is sad.

[Nicolas]

I like Spain, but with how they've played this year, they do not deserve to advance.

Chile, on the other hand, is playing so well. It'll be nice to see them advance into other matches.

[Spuuky]

1 of my Hated Countries soon to be eliminated. Only a few more to go and I can be content with any remaining winner. Too bad the Netherlands had to advance, though.

Breaking news! England last longer in the World Cup than Spain.

MMMMF MMMMF I LVOE BELGIUM!

Agreed for the most part, although I would still say Belgium are dark horses for the cup, if not dark horses for being a dark horse. Chile are a good team when you look at them and they have a few top, top players in there. If I could pick any one player to buy this season for United it would be Vidal. He's my muppet dream.

FERGIE TIME

[Old Manus]

Loving every moment of Spain and Del Bosque getting mullered.

also shut up Psychotic I said I fancied Chile before you did

[Bubba]

Spain look to me like a team still in shock after the first game. That's not to take away from Chile's performance. They have been excellent.

[Psychotic]

HAHAHAHAHAHAH smurf OFF SPAIN smurf OFF TIKI TAKA YOU BORING S

That was the best performance by any team in the World Cup so far - yeah, even better than the 5-1 and the 4-0. The intense pressing, the lighting quick transitions, the one-touch football and keeping possession, smurf yeah. Commentators saying how they might feel hard done by to face Brazil... balls to that. Chile'll smurfing muller them on this form.

NOW YOU'RE STEALING MY VERBS
