    The Van Persie goal was amazing, Robben's went off a deflection.

    I like how you completely ignored the part about a clear 1 on 1 with the keeper right before RVP's goal...
    I guess gotta defend your own.

    It seems this happens a lot at the WC for Latin-american teams, never really finish the opponent.. there's the difference between Conmebol and UEFA.

    Good game by Chile.

    Lets not count out Spain, they can only go up from here on out and they have a very experienced team. Last goal by Robben was a beauty. He just played with Casilas.

    As a fan of Spain I hate to say it but I think age is catching up with the main guys. The defense was horrible., midfield couldn't create anything and once a rock in goal, Cassilas made mistakes that he would never have. Change is coming. The have good players on the bench but hard to bench players that are a staple of that team.

    Not that optimistic about tonights match. 2 weeks ago I would say we should win, or draw at worst. But with our recent injuries im not feeling that confident. Buffon is 50-50 after picking up an ankle sprain yesterday. our 2nd choice keeper Sirigu is also doubtful. Our 3rd choice is an unproven 21 year old whos talented but not ready.

    On top of that our best lb/rb, De Sciglio, is out. And not to mention Giuseppe Rossi and Montolivo (regular starters) were forced to miss the tournament due to injuries.

    If Buffon can play, i still like our chances tho. Forza Azzurri!!!

    That was the radioannouncer. He is great. Funny thing is that at the start of this video he says that he has a feeling that we are going to win it. At that moment de Boer made the pass. This goal is my best soccer memory.
